Population dynamic consequences of female territoriality in bank voles

A population dynamic model for Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 1780) is developed and analyzed. The model incorporates the fact that a high number of territorial and mature females inhibits sexual maturation of young females. In addition, density dependence in litter size and in the interval between litter-productions are assumed. Seasonality is also incorporated in the sense that reproduction is assumed only to occur during summer.
