Abstract
Four common blood parasites belonging to the genera Babesia, Hepatozoon, Trypanosoma and Grahamella were detected in sympatric populations of Clethrionomys glareolus and Apodemus sylvaticus.

We have developed a new paradigm based on the idea that the cost an individual was ready to pay in order to gain access to a conspecific depended on the strength of the social bond between the two individuals. To test our paradigm we used mound-building mice, Mus spicilegus that present, in both mal...
