Demography of fluctuating prairie vole populations: comparison of demographic variables among phases of fluctuations

We tested for differences in the proportion of reproductively active males and females, proportion of the population composed of young and immigrants, and monthly survival (total, adult, young) among phases (trough, increase, and decline) and among habitats (alfalfa, bluegrass, and tallgrass) of 30 population fluctuations ofMicrotus ochrogaster Wagner, 1842 over 25 years in east-central Illinois USA. Total population survival and survival of adults and young were greatest during the increase phase, among fluctuations, irrespective of habitat. The proportion of reproductively active adult males and females was lowest during the decline phase, an effect of lower reproduction during the winter. These results suggest that phase-specific changes in survival were the primary demographic factor driving population fluctuations ofM. ochrogaster in our study sites. We conclude that small-scale spatially different population fluctuations may be explained by the same mechanisms that explain fluctuations within a population.

We studied the influence of immigration on the dynamics ofMicrotus ochrogaster Wagner, 1842 andM. pennsylvanicus Ord, 1815 populations in alfalfa, bluegrass, and tallgrass prairie in east-central Illinois for 25 years. The numbers of immigrants in a site were positively correlated with overall population densities of the species in the vicinity of the study sites and within the study site. Population density of the other species was not correlated with immigration of either species. Immigrants did not differ significantly from residents with respect to sex-ratio and reproductive condition. Persistence of immigrantM. pennsylvanicus was lower than that of resident adults in all three habitats, while that of immigrantM. ochrogaster was lower than that of resident adults in alfalfa, where the species was most abundant. Neither the absolute number of immigrants nor the proportion of the population composed of immigrants indicated an effect of immigrants on among- and within-habitat differences in demography and population fluctuations of either species. Immigrants may have been an important factor in maintenance ofM. pennsylvanicus in alfalfa, a low-quality habitat, but the influence of immigration on the dynamics of populations inhabiting other habitats was insubstantial.
