This paper biometrically analyses the cranial features of the common vole. The research sample consisted of adult (n = 134), subadult (n = 57), of western Slovakia. Overall, software based on the highlighted marks measured 29 cranial features. Significant sexual dimorphism was observed for three features in adult subjects (“WMTRR”, “AMdm” and “AMd”) and four features in subadults (“LOSD”, “WMTRR”, “LoM” and “ALLM”). Results showed a significant positive relationship between body weight and cranial size in 24 of the 29 features. They also suggested a weak but significant positive effect of cranium size on common vole abundance (Chitty effect) likewise in 24 of the 29 features. In several cases, this effect influenced also the abundance and age of the individuals. Microtus arvalis. Cranial marks. Biometric analysis Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Introduction The common vole Microtus arvalis (Pallas, 1778) is the most common and best known of the vole species in Europe (Amori et al. 2008 ). The rodent cranium has many significant features: a complex structure comprising and protecting many important organs and cranial bones easily measured and compared. Morphometric data from cranial features are an important source of information to understand many biological phenomena. The use of morphological measurements has been widespread in studies of phylogenetic relationships (Zelditch et al. 2004 ), evolution (Lieberman 1998 ), reconstruction of history and structure of past populations (González-José et al. 2001 ), sexual dimorphism (Vincent et al. 2004 ), fluctuating asymmetry (Willmore et al. 2005 ), ecomorphology (Klingenberg and Ekau 1996 ), body condition (Green 2001 ), growth (Ackermann 2005 ), heritability (Kruuk et al. 2000 ), life histories (Bonner 1965 ), animal behaviour (Searcy 1979 ), community structure (Strong 1983) and ecological processes (Harper et al. 1970 ). The common vole is an animal native to the steppes and a key species in agricultural countries (Baláž and Tulis 2021 ). Although mainly encountered in lowland regions, it also occurs in mountainous regions above the tree line, prefers low-growing vegetation or grassland in forests where trees have already been cut. During the breeding season, they occupy secondary habitats such as cultivated areas where cereals, peas, rapeseed, carrots, and beans are grown. They are also found occasionally in potato and sugar beet fields (Anděra 2003 ; Brehm 2011 ; Jacob et al. 2014 ). A characteristic of common voles is extremely sexual and somatic development (Boyce and Boyce 1988 ; Bryja et al. 2005 ). Overbreeding is common in this species and population densities have reached more than two thousand individuals per hectare. While cyclical in some regions in Europe, in other areas the population fluctuates irregularly (Myllymäki 1977 ; Delattre et al. 1992 ; Veress 1996 ; Jacob et al. 2014 ). More attention has been paid to the biometrics to the biometrics of the common vole’s somatic traits in relation to environmental variables such as seasonal changes, which have a great impact on its body proportions (Kratochvíl 1959 ; Reichstein 1964 ; Butet 1996 ; Devevey et al. 2008 ). The relationship between vole body mass and the season and altitude, and the influence of altitude on the changes in the biometry of its somatic characteristics have been studied by Baláž ( 2010a , b ). In the past, biometric analysis of the common vole’s cranial characteristics has been aimed at detecting sexual dimorphism. Such an analysis in eastern Slovakia found higher values in adult females compared to males. Overall, sexual dimorphism was confirmed in seven discrete cranial and dental traits. The results also showed a high variability of traits (Csanády and Mošanský 2021a ). Among the population in Germany, adult males had higher mean values than females in all cranial discrete traits except for the length of the row of lower molars and the width of the first lower molar. In spite of this, no statistical significance was found in individually measured dental and cranial traits of males and females (Bauer 2001 ). Compared to the German population (Bauer 2001 ), common voles in Slovakia have lower mean values in almost all traits, although LCb and LaZ were found to be greater in the Slovakian population (Csanády and Mošanský 2021a ). Balčiauskienė et al. (2004) observed dynamic growth in cranial characteristics and their relationship to body length body mass and the age of individual voles. They found the relationship between skull dimensions and body length to be closely linked, although the samples were not suitable enough to determine the age of the individuals. Differences in age and correlation with body weight and length were confirmed in the length of the maxillary and mandibular tooth rows (Balčiauskas and Balčiauskienė 2011). Changes in the morphological and morphometric characteristics of animals may also be caused by geographic or temporal influences. Increases in weight and body length among populations of small mammals with cyclical dynamics (characteristic also in common voles) tend to occur during periods of high abundance, as they put their energy into the competition for resources. Conversely in phases of lower population density, the body becomes smaller and more energy is invested in reproduction, the so-called Chitty effect (Yakushov and Sheftel 2020 ; Kshnyasev and Davydova 2021 ). This provides an explanation of natural selection which may favour genotypes with high reproduction and lower competiveness at low densities and vice versa at high densities. The Chitty effect is a specific form of trade-off that components of fitness such as survival and reproductive success are not able to maximise together, but only one of them can at the cost of the other. Individuals in dense populations can be up to 20–30% larger than individuals in low population densities (Kapischke 2017 ; Boonstra and Krebs 1979 ; Krebs 1964 ). The effect has been documented, for example, in Microtus pennsylvanicus (Boonstra and Boag 1987 ), and also in Microtus agrestis from analysis of its somatic traits (Agrell et al. 1992 ). No investigation had ever been conducted into the impact of abundance on the size of the common vole’s cranial discrete traits. Thus, the objectives of our study became: 1) to analyse the cranial characteristics of the common vole; 2) to observe sexual dimorphism therein; 3) to describe the relationship between body weight and the cranial characteristics; and 4) to analyse the impact of abundance on the size of the cranial discrete traits of the species under observation. Based on these examples, the expectation was growth in the length of cranial characteristics as abundance rose, and so the presence of the Chitty effect. Material and methods Research was conducted on a sample of skulls originating from 43 locations in western Slovakia, which had been gathered between 2011 and 2021 (Appendix 1). Material from 131 individuals came from years when species abundance culminated (2014 and 2019) and 60 individuals from years of common occurrence and species abundance. In terms of seasonality, 34 individuals were collected in spring, 42 in summer, 63 in autumn and 52 in winter. Cranial characteristics from a total of 191 common voles were biometrically analysed, of which 99 were female (68 adults and 31 subadults) and 92 were male (66 adults and 26 sub-adults). Individuals not yet sexually active were categorised as subadults, namely males whose testes were in the abdominal position and females whose vaginas had not opened yet. In order to obtain material for craniometrical analysis, necrophagous insects from the genus Dermestes were used to process the cadavers. The carefully cleaned common vole skulls were first photographed on millimetre paper and assigned the appropriate identification numbers. The images were then uploaded to a computer. Three categories of images were then created from tpsutil TPS UTIL (Rohlf 2004 ) according to the part of the skull to be examined: upper cranium, lower cranium and mandible. Individual cranial points were then marked, always in the same sequence, with TPS DIG2 (Rohlf 2006 ). A total of 29 traits were observed in the skulls of the common vole (Markov et al. 2012 ), seven from the upper cranium, 15 from the lower cranium and seven characteristics from the lower jaw. These traits were measured on the upper cranium (Fig. 1): LN (length of the nasals), WR (width of the rostrum), IW (interorbital width), LaZ (zygomatic breadth), LaN (neurocranium breadth), WO (occipital width), and MW (mastoid width). These traits were measured from a ventral view of the lower cranium (Fig. 2): BL (basal length), LPm (median palatal length), FI (length of the foramen incisivium), LD (length of the diastema), LOSD (length of the tooth row in the maxilla), WMTRL (width of the maxillary tooth row – left side), WMTRR (width of the maxillary tooth row – right side), LoM (length of the molar), LCb (condylo-basal length), PS (greatest palatal breadth), IS (breadth of the incisive bone), LFiP (length of the incisive foramen), IWAUI (incisor width across both upper incisors), LDl (length of the diastema - left), and LDr (length of the diastema – right). The following mandibular discrete traits were measured (Fig. 3 ): LMdD (length of the mandibular diastema), ML (mandible length excluding incisors), ALLM (alveolar length of the lower molars), AMdm (maximum height of the mandibula excluding coronoid process), LAP (length of the angular process), LMd (total length of the mandibula at the articular process), and AMd (coronoid height of the mandibula) (Baláž et al. 2021 ). Common vole abundance was calculated for different locations according to the methodology used by Zapletal et al. ( 2001 ). Measurement and statistical analysis Descriptive statistics was used to evaluate the median, mean, range, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) for each discrete trait on the skull. The distribution of data was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test. If there was a normal distribution of data, the t -test would be used for the means between the sexes and the F -test would be used for the equality of variances. If the data were not normally distributed, the equality of medians would be tested with the Mann-Whitney U test and the equality of means would be tested with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Linear regression was used to analyse the relation between the lengths of cranial discrete traits and log-transformation of individual body weights. The analysis only covered individuals whose somatic trait data were available (because the bodies of some individuals had been compromised). For this reason, the sample size may vary for each monitored trait. PAST 4.12 was used for these statistical analyses (Hammer et al. 2001 ). Linear regression was likewise used to measure the impact of changing common vole abundances on the length of cranial discrete traits. The impact of changing abundance and sex on the size of the observed traits was analysed with the general linear model (GLM) using R (R Core Team 2023 ). The analysis covered only those individuals captured at nine sites (Appendix 1) where multi-year research had been conducted to monitor changes in the abundance of the common vole population. The size of the sample may vary for each observed trait (Baláž et al. 2019 ). Results The traits with the largest range of values among the adult individuals were “WMTRL” (SD = 0.11; CV = 13.87%), “WMTRR” (SD = 0.09; CV = 12.01%) and “FI” (SD = 0.49; CV = 10.37%). “LaN” (SD = 0.64; CV = 5.57%), “MW” (SD = 0.64; CV = 5.71%) and “WO” (SD = 0.77; CV = 6.04%) had the smallest variability. A demonstrably higher mean value for “WMTRR” was recorded for females (t-test: t = 2.22; p = 0.03) while, on the other hand, there were significantly higher values for “WO” in both the median (Mann-Whitney test: (Mann-Whitney test: U = 934.5; z = 2.71, p = 0.006) and distribution (Kolomogorov-Smirnov test: D = 0.35; p = 0.003). For “AMdm” (F-test: F = 1.66, p = 0.047) and “AMd” (F-test: F = 1.76, p = 0.041), there was a demonstrably higher variance of trait length among females. There were no differences in median or mean trait length in the remaining traits and no variance or distribution between sexes in adults (Table 1 ).

For only five traits – “LFiP”, “LaN”, “IW”, “WMTRR” and “WMTRL” – was there no demonstrable effect from an increase in abundance on cranial trait length (Table 4 ), while a statistically significant effect of abundance on the size of traits was found in the remaining 24 traits although R 2 values greater than 0.18 were recorded only for “LN” (length of the nasals) and “LDl” (Fig. 4 ). The impact of the interaction between common vole abundance and the age of individuals was documented only for “LAP”, “ML” and “LFiP” (Fig. 5 and Appendix 2). In this case, however, only the cranial traits of adults grew as abundance rose. In contrast, the relationship in subadult individuals was negative.

Besides body weight, such traits include adaptations of specific components of the musculoskeletal system that enhance strength, stability and agility. The results of our study show sexual dimorphism evident in the cranial characteristics of both adult (four observed) and subadult common vole individuals in western Slovakia, specifically from the Danubian Lowlands. These findings are consistent with those of Csanády and Mošanský ( 2021a ), whose results in eastern Slovakia likewise recorded sexual dimorphism in common voles with higher values found among the females. In eastern Slovakia, however, they also observed sexual dimorphism on different traits than what we did outside of "ALLM”. Unlike us, they did not assess dimorphism separately for adults and subadults. Rodents are characterised by growth that, instead of slowing down as their bodies age, lasts almost to the end of their lives. The cause is the short life of rodents, with not enough time to reach a period of stabilisation (Haitlinger 1962 ). As a species with cyclical dynamics, common voles additionally undergo faster sexual maturation during periods of population growth (Oli et al. 1999, Zapletal et al. 2001 ). For these reasons, cranial characteristics were measured for adults and subadults as separate categories. A single case was recorded (“WO”) of higher average lengths in adult males, which conflicted with studies of sexual dimorphism in common voles published to date. Stein ( 1957 ), Bauer ( 2001 ), Morris et al. ( 2020 ), and Csanády, Mošanský ( 2021b ) have described from several areas within their range of distribution females exhibiting higher values of sexual dimorphism for cranial discrete traits. The larger skulls found in female common voles and other small mammal species are probably related to selection for more efficient processing of food during gestation and lactation, the generally lower quality of food available to voles, and the increased ability of a female to burrow or defend her offspring (Morris et al. 2020 ). Overall, however, no clear statement can be made about sexual dimorphism in the species based on cranial characteristics because some past studies have not confirmed it Balčiauskienė et al. (2004). They noticed a larger tooth row length among females only in root voles without finding any differences between the sexes in common voles and field voles. Several studies have mentioned a correlation of some craniological characteristics in either the body weight or other somatic traits of small mammals (Pagels and Blem 1984 ; Dickman et al. 1991 ; Goszczyński 1977; Blem et al. 1993 ; Trejo and Guthmann 2003 ; Borowski et al. 2008 ; Balčiauskas and Balčiauskienė 2011). Our results showed a demonstrable relationship in 24 of the 29 observed discrete traits in both the maxilla and mandible. Nonetheless, except for “LN” and “LD”, the dependency of cranial trait length on body weight was low (R 2 < 0.18). For example, the R 2 value for the Pannonian root vole ( Alexandromys oeconomus meheli ) at the three highest dependencies was greater than 0.59 (Baláž et al. 2021 ). Balčiauskas and Balčiauskienė (2011) noted dependency values of cranial and pelvic discrete traits in the root vole A. o. stimmingi (Nehring, 1899) where R 2 was greater than 0.7. Balčiauskienė ( 2007 ) likewise documented a relationship between body weight and mandibular traits in bank voles. Cranial growth ex situ among bank vole individuals between the age of twelve and 724 days demonstrated dependence in all 17 cranial discrete traits including sex. Stable growth among the bank voles continued until ten months along with body weight and length, which reached 45 grams and 12 centimetres, respectively. Growth in a majority of cranial discrete traits lasted 12 to 14 months while some dental features, such as the length of the first upper molar and the width of the incisors, continue growing throughout its life. Kapischke ( 2017 ) found the length of the upper row of teeth to be growing consistently with the age of the individual, where the older they were, the longer their dentition. Another study conducted by Balčiauskienė et al. (2004) confirmed the effect of age and body weight on the length of the tooth row on the upper jaw and palate in bank voles, common voles and field voles. Population fluctuations among voles are characterised by a relatively repeatable pattern of changes in body weight and growth, age at sexual maturity and length of the breeding season (Boonstra and Krebs 1979 ; Krebs and Myers 1974 ; Boonstra and Boag 1987 ). Chitty ( 1967 ) postulated his own genetic behavioural hypothesis to explain it, where reciprocal interference is minimal at low and increasing densities with the selection of those non-aggressive genotypes that have high reproductive effort. At high population densities, reciprocal interference is intensive and aggressive genotypes are selected for their ability to resist intraspecific competition. The presumption in Chitty’s hypothesis is genetics as the basis for many density-related changes (Boonstra and Boag 1987 ). The Chitty effect is clearly noticeable in small mammal populations with cyclical dynamics, with the animals’ average body weight and length greater when the population is either growing or at its peak than when it is declining (Kshnyasev and Davydova 2021 ; Yakushov and Sheftel 2020 ). The findings from our study demonstrated the impact of the growth in abundance in 24 of the common vole’s 29 cranial discrete traits. Higher values of the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) were recorded only in the cranial traits “LN” (length of the nasals) and “LDl (length of the diastema - left), bound to the common vole’s nasal part. In three traits, interaction between abundance and age was documented. However, growth in cranial discrete traits in tandem with rising abundance was confirmed in these cases only among adult individuals. In subadult individuals, on the other hand, the length of traits fell with growing abundance. Balčiauskienė et al. (2004) reported smaller subadults in harsh winters than when the season was mild, while juveniles were larger. They further added that growth was markedly more inhibited and lasted longer in cranial characteristics than in body weight. Different patterns were visible in the growth of the skull itself. Some traits stopped growing over time and there were no changes in mean mandible length over a three-month period from December to February, whilst the average width at the widest part of the brain declined in January and February. The coronoid height of the mandible (AMd) grew in the period from November to December before its mean length fell in February. In both subadult and juvenile individuals, growth slowed dramatically. These findings could explain why the size of cranial discrete traits would decrease during the winter, as more than 70% of subadult individuals originated during the winter or autumn. To conclude, great variability can be seen in the common vole’s cranial discrete traits, particularly in WMTRL, WMTRR, FI and WO. Differences in some traits were also found between male and female common voles as an expression of sexual dimorphism (WMTRR, AMdm and AMd in adults; LOSD, WMTRR, LoM, and ALLM in subadults). Based on the size of cranial discrete traits (ML, LDl, LDr), it is possible to predict the size of individual common voles, which may be useful in food ecology for determining the biomass of food consumed by raptors and owls from an analysis of their pellets. Our study confirms the positive impact of common vole abundance on the size of cranial characteristics from the so-called Chitty effect. The findings from it could also be practically applied in agriculture as the larger average size of individuals would signal the onset of overbreeding as a characteristic sign of the common vole’s gradation.

The rodent cranium has many significant features: a complex structure comprising and protecting many important organs and cranial bones easily measured and compared.

Although mainly encountered in lowland regions, it also occurs in mountainous regions above the tree line, prefers low-growing vegetation or grassland in forests where trees have already been cut. During the breeding season, they occupy secondary habitats such as cultivated areas where cereals, peas, rapeseed, carrots, and beans are grown. They are also found occasionally in potato and sugar beet fields (Anděra \u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2003\u003c/span\u003e; Brehm \u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2011\u003c/span\u003e; Jacob et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2014\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA characteristic of common voles is extremely sexual and somatic development (Boyce and Boyce \u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1988\u003c/span\u003e; Bryja et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2005\u003c/span\u003e). Overbreeding is common in this species and population densities have reached more than two thousand individuals per hectare.

The relationship between vole body mass and the season and altitude, and the influence of altitude on the changes in the biometry of its somatic characteristics have been studied by Bal\u0026aacute;ž (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2010a\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003eb\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the past, biometric analysis of the common vole\u0026rsquo;s cranial characteristics has been aimed at detecting sexual dimorphism. Such an analysis in eastern Slovakia found higher values in adult females compared to males. Overall, sexual dimorphism was confirmed in seven discrete cranial and dental traits. The results also showed a high variability of traits (Csan\u0026aacute;dy and Mošansk\u0026yacute; \u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021a\u003c/span\u003e). Among the population in Germany, adult males had higher mean values than females in all cranial discrete traits except for the length of the row of lower molars and the width of the first lower molar. In spite of this, no statistical significance was found in individually measured dental and cranial traits of males and females (Bauer \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2001\u003c/span\u003e). Compared to the German population (Bauer \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2001\u003c/span\u003e), common voles in Slovakia have lower mean values in almost all traits, although LCb and LaZ were found to be greater in the Slovakian population (Csan\u0026aacute;dy and Mošansk\u0026yacute; \u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021a\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBalčiauskienė et al. (2004) observed dynamic growth in cranial characteristics and their relationship to body length body mass and the age of individual voles. They found the relationship between skull dimensions and body length to be closely linked, although the samples were not suitable enough to determine the age of the individuals. Differences in age and correlation with body weight and length were confirmed in the length of the maxillary and mandibular tooth rows (Balčiauskas and Balčiauskienė 2011).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChanges in the morphological and morphometric characteristics of animals may also be caused by geographic or temporal influences. Increases in weight and body length among populations of small mammals with cyclical dynamics (characteristic also in common voles) tend to occur during periods of high abundance, as they put their energy into the competition for resources. Conversely in phases of lower population density, the body becomes smaller and more energy is invested in reproduction, the so-called Chitty effect (Yakushov and Sheftel \u003cspan citationid=\"CR60\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e; Kshnyasev and Davydova \u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e). This provides an explanation of natural selection which may favour genotypes with high reproduction and lower competiveness at low densities and vice versa at high densities. The Chitty effect is a specific form of trade-off that components of fitness such as survival and reproductive success are not able to maximise together, but only one of them can at the cost of the other. Individuals in dense populations can be up to 20\u0026ndash;30% larger than individuals in low population densities (Kapischke \u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e; Boonstra and Krebs \u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1979\u003c/span\u003e; Krebs \u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1964\u003c/span\u003e). The effect has been documented, for example, in \u003cem\u003eMicrotus pennsylvanicus\u003c/em\u003e (Boonstra and Boag \u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1987\u003c/span\u003e), and also in \u003cem\u003eMicrotus agrestis\u003c/em\u003e from analysis of its somatic traits (Agrell et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1992\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo investigation had ever been conducted into the impact of abundance on the size of the common vole\u0026rsquo;s cranial discrete traits. Thus, the objectives of our study became: 1) to analyse the cranial characteristics of the common vole; 2) to observe sexual dimorphism therein; 3) to describe the relationship between body weight and the cranial characteristics; and 4) to analyse the impact of abundance on the size of the cranial discrete traits of the species under observation. Based on these examples, the expectation was growth in the length of cranial characteristics as abundance rose, and so the presence of the Chitty effect.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Material and methods","content":"\u003cp\u003eResearch was conducted on a sample of skulls originating from 43 locations in western Slovakia, which had been gathered between 2011 and 2021 (Appendix 1).

females. Besides body weight, such traits include adaptations of specific components of the musculoskeletal system that enhance strength, stability and agility. The results of our study show sexual dimorphism evident in the cranial characteristics of both adult (four observed) and subadult common vole individuals in western Slovakia, specifically from the Danubian Lowlands. These findings are consistent with those of Csan\u0026aacute;dy and Mošansk\u0026yacute; (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021a\u003c/span\u003e), whose results in eastern Slovakia likewise recorded sexual dimorphism in common voles with higher values found among the females. In eastern Slovakia, however, they also observed sexual dimorphism on different traits than what we did outside of \"ALLM\u0026rdquo;. Unlike us, they did not assess dimorphism separately for adults and subadults.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRodents are characterised by growth that, instead of slowing down as their bodies age, lasts almost to the end of their lives. The cause is the short life of rodents, with not enough time to reach a period of stabilisation (Haitlinger \u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1962\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a species with cyclical dynamics, common voles additionally undergo faster sexual maturation during periods of population growth (Oli et al. 1999, Zapletal et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR61\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2001\u003c/span\u003e). For these reasons, cranial characteristics were measured for adults and subadults as separate categories. A single case was recorded (\u0026ldquo;WO\u0026rdquo;) of higher average lengths in adult males, which conflicted with studies of sexual dimorphism in common voles published to date. Stein (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR54\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1957\u003c/span\u003e), Bauer (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2001\u003c/span\u003e), Morris et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e), and Csan\u0026aacute;dy, Mošansk\u0026yacute; (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021b\u003c/span\u003e) have described from several areas within their range of distribution females exhibiting higher values of sexual dimorphism for cranial discrete traits. The larger skulls found in female common voles and other small mammal species are probably related to selection for more efficient processing of food during gestation and lactation, the generally lower quality of food available to voles, and the increased ability of a female to burrow or defend her offspring (Morris et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e). Overall, however, no clear statement can be made about sexual dimorphism in the species based on cranial characteristics because some past studies have not confirmed it Balčiauskienė et al. (2004). They noticed a larger tooth row length among females only in root voles without finding any differences between the sexes in common voles and field voles.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeveral studies have mentioned a correlation of some craniological characteristics in either the body weight or other somatic traits of small mammals (Pagels and Blem \u003cspan citationid=\"CR48\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1984\u003c/span\u003e; Dickman et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1991\u003c/span\u003e; Goszczyński 1977; Blem et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1993\u003c/span\u003e; Trejo and Guthmann \u003cspan citationid=\"CR56\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2003\u003c/span\u003e; Borowski et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2008\u003c/span\u003e; Balčiauskas and Balčiauskienė 2011). Our results showed a demonstrable relationship in 24 of the 29 observed discrete traits in both the maxilla and mandible. Nonetheless, except for \u0026ldquo;LN\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;LD\u0026rdquo;, the dependency of cranial trait length on body weight was low (R\u003csup\u003e2\u003c/sup\u003e\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.18). For example, the R\u003csup\u003e2\u003c/sup\u003e value for the Pannonian root vole (\u003cem\u003eAlexandromys oeconomus meheli\u003c/em\u003e) at the three highest dependencies was greater than 0.59 (Bal\u0026aacute;ž et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e). Balčiauskas and Balčiauskienė (2011) noted dependency values of cranial and pelvic discrete traits in the root vole \u003cem\u003eA. o. stimmingi\u003c/em\u003e (Nehring, 1899) where R\u003csup\u003e2\u003c/sup\u003e was greater than 0.7.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBalčiauskienė (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2007\u003c/span\u003e) likewise documented a relationship between body weight and mandibular traits in bank voles. Cranial growth \u003cem\u003eex situ\u003c/em\u003e among bank vole individuals between the age of twelve and 724 days demonstrated dependence in all 17 cranial discrete traits including sex. Stable growth among the bank voles continued until ten months along with body weight and length, which reached 45 grams and 12 centimetres, respectively. Growth in a majority of cranial discrete traits lasted 12 to 14 months while some dental features, such as the length of the first upper molar and the width of the incisors, continue growing throughout its life. Kapischke (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e) found the length of the upper row of teeth to be growing consistently with the age of the individual, where the older they were, the longer their dentition. Another study conducted by Balčiauskienė et al. (2004) confirmed the effect of age and body weight on the length of the tooth row on the upper jaw and palate in bank voles, common voles and field voles.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePopulation fluctuations among voles are characterised by a relatively repeatable pattern of changes in body weight and growth, age at sexual maturity and length of the breeding season (Boonstra and Krebs \u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1979\u003c/span\u003e; Krebs and Myers \u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1974\u003c/span\u003e; Boonstra and Boag \u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1987\u003c/span\u003e). Chitty (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1967\u003c/span\u003e) postulated his own genetic behavioural hypothesis to explain it, where reciprocal interference is minimal at low and increasing densities with the selection of those non-aggressive genotypes that have high reproductive effort. At high population densities, reciprocal interference is intensive and aggressive genotypes are selected for their ability to resist intraspecific competition. The presumption in Chitty\u0026rsquo;s hypothesis is genetics as the basis for many density-related changes (Boonstra and Boag \u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1987\u003c/span\u003e). The Chitty effect is clearly noticeable in small mammal populations with cyclical dynamics, with the animals\u0026rsquo; average body weight and length greater when the population is either growing or at its peak than when it is declining (Kshnyasev and Davydova \u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e; Yakushov and Sheftel \u003cspan citationid=\"CR60\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e). The findings from our study demonstrated the impact of the growth in abundance in 24 of the common vole\u0026rsquo;s 29 cranial discrete traits. Higher values of the coefficient of determination (R\u003csup\u003e2\u003c/sup\u003e) were recorded only in the cranial traits \u0026ldquo;LN\u0026rdquo; (length of the nasals) and \u0026ldquo;LDl (length of the diastema - left), bound to the common vole\u0026rsquo;s nasal part. In three traits, interaction between abundance and age was documented. However, growth in cranial discrete traits in tandem with rising abundance was confirmed in these cases only among adult individuals. In subadult individuals, on the other hand, the length of traits fell with growing abundance. Balčiauskienė et al. (2004) reported smaller subadults in harsh winters than when the season was mild, while juveniles were larger. They further added that growth was markedly more inhibited and lasted longer in cranial characteristics than in body weight. Different patterns were visible in the growth of the skull itself. Some traits stopped growing over time and there were no changes in mean mandible length over a three-month period from December to February, whilst the average width at the widest part of the brain declined in January and February. The coronoid height of the mandible (AMd) grew in the period from November to December before its mean length fell in February. In both subadult and juvenile individuals, growth slowed dramatically. These findings could explain why the size of cranial discrete traits would decrease during the winter, as more than 70% of subadult individuals originated during the winter or autumn.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo conclude, great variability can be seen in the common vole\u0026rsquo;s cranial discrete traits, particularly in WMTRL, WMTRR, FI and WO. Differences in some traits were also found between male and female common voles as an expression of sexual dimorphism (WMTRR, AMdm and AMd in adults; LOSD, WMTRR, LoM, and ALLM in subadults). Based on the size of cranial discrete traits (ML, LDl, LDr), it is possible to predict the size of individual common voles, which may be useful in food ecology for determining the biomass of food consumed by raptors and owls from an analysis of their pellets. Our study confirms the positive impact of common vole abundance on the size of cranial characteristics from the so-called Chitty effect. The findings from it could also be practically applied in agriculture as the larger average size of individuals would signal the onset of overbreeding as a characteristic sign of the common vole\u0026rsquo;s gradation.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthics statement\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study was approved by the institutional research ethics committee (The Ethics Committee of the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra) and certify that the study was performed in accordance with the ethical standards as laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.

This paper biometrically analyses the cranial features of the common vole. The research sample consisted of adult (n\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;134), subadult (n\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;57), of western Slovakia. Overall, software based on the highlighted marks measured 29 cranial features. Significant sexual dimorphism was observed for three features in adult subjects (\u0026ldquo;WMTRR\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;AMdm\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;AMd\u0026rdquo;) and four features in subadults (\u0026ldquo;LOSD\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;WMTRR\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;LoM\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;ALLM\u0026rdquo;). Results showed a significant positive relationship between body weight and cranial size in 24 of the 29 features. They also suggested a weak but significant positive effect of cranium size on common vole abundance (Chitty effect) likewise in 24 of the 29 features. In several cases, this effect influenced also the abundance and age of the individuals.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Biometric analysis of the cranial features of common vole s","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-04-25 15:59:04","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4112923/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Major revisions","date":"2024-05-12T10:23:23+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"","date":"2024-04-23T20:31:37+00:00","index":0,"fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2024-04-17T09:34:14+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2024-03-20T09:10:18+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Biologia","date":"2024-03-18T11:10:45+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"biologia","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"biol","sideBox":"Learn more about [Biologia](http://link.springer.com/journal/11756)","snPcode":"11756","submissionUrl":"https://www.editorialmanager.com/biol/default2.aspx","title":"Biologia","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"em","reportingPortfolio":"Springer Hybrid","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":false}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"ab229483-43a1-4fa2-8d6c-4352adc6662e","owner":[],"postedDate":"April 25th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-09-27T10:56:12+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-4112923","link":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11756-024-01784-5","journal":{"identity":"biologia","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Biologia"},"publishedOn":"2024-09-20 15:58:10","publishedOnDateReadable":"September 20th, 2024"},"versionCreatedAt":"2024-04-25 15:59:04","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1007/s11756-024-01784-5","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11756-024-01784-5","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-4112923","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-4112923","identity":"rs-4112923","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
