Neuroanatomy of the Accessory Olfactory Bulb in the Fossorial Water Vole
Abstract The accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) plays a key role in processing chemical signals crucial for species-specific social and reproductive behaviors. While extensive research has focused on the vomeronasal system of laboratory rodents, less is known about wild species, particularly those that rely heavily on chemical communication.
Do fossorial water voles have a functional vomeronasal organ? A histological and immunohistochemical study
1 INTRODUCTION The fossorial water vole, Arvicola scherman (former fossorial form of Arvicola terrestris = Arvicola amphibius; for taxonomic considerations see Balmori-de la Puente et al., 2022 and references therein) is a cricetid rodent that lives in extensive burrow systems and preferentially consumes roots, bulbs and tubers of dicotyledons and some Poaceae (Airoldi, 1976).
Do Fossorial Water Voles have a Functional Vomeronasal Organ? A Histological and Immunohistochemical Study
Abstract The fossorial water vole, Arvicola scherman, is a herbivorous rodent that cause significant agricultural damages. The application of cairomones and alarm pheromones emerges as a promising sustainable method to improve its integrated management. These chemical signals would induce stress responses that could interfere with the species regular reproductive cycles and induce aversive reactions, steering them away from farmlands and meadows.
