Abstract
Seasonal changes in activity patterns have been reported in several species of arvicoline (= microtine) rodents in the wild. Adult male montane voles (Microtus montanus) shift from predominantly nocturnal running wheel use under long photoperiod to predominantly diurnal running wheel use under short photoperiod. Under the same conditions, females also increase diurnal activity under short photoperiod. However, females display more variability in activity patterns under long photoperiod than do males.
