Provenance & quality
Voles were marked with unique PIT tags on first capture. On the first capture of each session for a given individual, we recorded sex and reproductive status (ascended or descended testes for males; pregnant, lactating, perforate or imperforate vagina for females) from visual inspection. We measured body length from snout to vent and total body mass. A small blood sample (up to 50 µl) was taken from the tip of the tail and stored in RNAlater at -20°C for a maximum of 5 days before being transferred to -80°C for longer term storage.
