Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: All procedures performed in studies were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. Even if voles are excluded from the Italian laws protecting wildlife (Art. 4 National Law 157/1992; Annexes of the Tuscan Regional Law 56/2000) and their captures would require permits only in National Parks and Reserves, our field-work did not include any manipulation of living animals, nor captures. Therefore, following the Italian law, no permit was necessary.
