• One hundred years of eruptions of house mice in Australia: a natural biological curio (2005, background): “On cereal farms, ultimately mice will give up safety when there is high intraspecific competition for food in risky habitats (Ylönen et al., 2002).”
• A review of the current knowledge of rodent behaviour in relation to control devices. (2006, background): “Mice (Ylonen et al. 2002) and Norway rats (Barnett & Spencer 1953a) prefer to feed at sites close to cover.”
• Dispersal in house mice (2005, background): “If the habitat quality or quantity is suddenly reduced, the population size will also become greater than K. Individuals then faced with a lack of food or shelter either disperse (i.e. forced dispersal) or suffer a lower survival rate through starvation or predation (Ylönen et al., 2002).”
