Water metabolism in free-ranging pine voles (Microtus pinetorum).
Rates of body water turnover in free-ranging pine voles exceeded those reported for a large number of similarly sized mammals. Concentrations of urine obtained from free-ranging pine voles were significantly lower than values published for other free-ranging mammals and also for laboratory-maintained members of this species. Rates of body water turnover in this species were not correlated with seasonal changes in soil temperatures.
