Abstract:

Replication data for the experimental study that investigates the between-year variation in spruce seed palatability as it is perceived by captured wild bank voles in South-Eastern Norway. This study investigated whether bank voles can distinguish between Norway spruce seeds from different mast years. In controlled trials, voles did not show significant preferences for a certain seed batch. The results support that variations in the small spruce seeds may be primarily a quantitative burst of food (i.e., during mast seeding) rather than a factor that shapes vole feeding behaviour.
