Abstract

Summer diet of bank voles was studied in 1986-1995 and 2000-2008 in Moscow region forests. We found out that under recreational load the bank voles' forage base bulk increased, in connection with the settlement of abundant tsenofob (weed) plants preferred by these animals; but harvesting and diet selectivity grew lower.
