Description:

The diet of the bank vole, Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 1780) in spruce forests in northern and central Finland is found to consist typically of small amounts of seeds (0.5-2.0% of the stomach contents at different seasons), berries (0.1-4.6%) and animal material (0.2-2.3%) and a high percentage of beared lichens, Alectoria spp. and Bryoria spp., at all seasons (27.9-53.7%). The tree lichens replace the seeds of deciduous trees consumed in many forests further south.
