Spatial behaviour of female voles Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 1780) was studied for 7 years in woodland of Kampinos National Park, Poland. Annual peaks ranged from 25 to 40 voles per ha. Twenty-six percent of newly marked females were already fully-grown adults. Immature females were slightly less site-tenacious than mature ones. The total movement range does not differ much between immature and mature recruits. Home range shifts between successive trapping sessions were the longest in maturing females but also prevalent in pregnant or lactating ones. Non- maturing females as well as mature but not breeding ones were the least mohile and the most site-tenacious. The home range length and between-capture distances were greater for pregnant than for immature females. They were also greater for transients than residents. Extensive movements of reproducing females suggests that breeding dispersal may thus be much more widespread amongst Clethrionomys females than previously thought.
