| الوصف: | We investigated how life history traits in the microtine genera Clethrionomys and Microtus were related to four major correlates (seasonality, habitat, metabolic rate, and geographic range). We found that the degree of seasonality as measured by latitude, elevation, or length of the breeding season was not strongly associated with litter size within each of seven species. Correlations between litter size and measures of seasonality are much stronger when analyses are carried out at higher taxonomic levels. Species of New World Microtus were placed in five different vegetation habitat types (graminoids, forbs, deciduous, coniferous, and mixed). Species associated with coniferous forests were heavier, had larger litter sizes, and occurred in short season environments compared to those in other vegetation types. Species placed in two other habitat categories (soil moisture regimes and habitat-patch configurations) revealed no differences in any life history trait. Data from the literature showed tha... |
