| Abstract | Materials (1956–2013) on the reproduction and ecological (sex and age) structure of the field vole (Microtus agrestis) in northwestern Russia are analyzed. It is revealed that the reproduction period of this species within the study region starts in early April and lasts until September. During this time, overwintered and young females give birth to 2–3 broods. Several seasonal generations of young specimens are present in the population of M. agrestis. They differ in the rate of growth and development, as well as in the degree of their participation in reproduction. Yearlings of the early broods are characterized by rapid growth. Almost all of them breed in the year of birth. Most young specimens born in June or later reach maturity only after wintering. The former provide population growth in the current year, while the latter represent the basis of the late summer and autumn population in the next year. A brood consists of 2 to 10, 5.7 ± 0.2, specimens. It is higher to some degree than the corresponding values for specimens from regions located to the south. Embryonic mortality is about 2%. The mortality of cubs in nests is 20%. The intensity and dates of reproduction change by year depending on the ecological conditions and the initial size of populations. The registered age polymorphism promotes stability and functions as a mechanism of population autoregulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
