Arctic Small Rodents Have Diverse Diets and Flexible Food Selection.
UNLABELLED:The ecology of small rodent food selection is poorly understood, as mammalian herbivore food selection theory has mainly been developed by studying ungulates. Especially, the effect of food availability on food selection in natural habitats where a range of food items are available is unk...
