Background:In 2017,large-scale flowering,seeding,and dying events of dwarf bamboo(Sasa borealis)occurred in a wide range in central Japan for the first time in 120 years.This phenomenon of S.borealis,like the mast see...
Patterns of body size variation along geographical gradients have long been searched for and generalized into eco-geographical rules.However,no rodent species has yet been analyzed in relation to the 3 dimensions of l...

Traffic noise was tested as a stress factor in an open-field study of urban and non-urban populations of two species belonging to the genus Apodemus: the striped field mouse and the yellow-necked mouse. The striped fi...
The aim of the study was to characterize natural and urban populations of two Apodemus species—the striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) and the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis)—seeking to verify whether...
