Abstract
A new method of studying genetic factors in phenotypical variability of rodents is applied for the cycling population of water vole (Arvicola terrestris L.) in Northern Baraba. The components of the maximum additive heritability are found via the correlations “parent-offspring” in vivarium population. The interannual phenotypical variability of natural rodent populations is studied in the space of these components. It is shown that radical genetic restructuring in the population takes place in the phase of low density. The genetic specificity of different cycles of vole population dynamics is confirmed as well. The changes of common animals sizes associated with population dynamics are determined by heterozygosity effects.
