Figure 1

Number of the burrow entrances (A) and the depth of the nest (B) of vole females ( Microtus arvalis ) in the presence of a nest predator (NP, Greater white toothed shrew, Crocidura russula ), or a interspecific resource competitor (RC, female field vole, M. agrestis ) or a intraspecific competitor control (C, female common vole, M. arvalis ). All burrow entrances were counted at day 22 of the experiment when vole nestlings were 3 days old. Please note that the y axis in (B) is negatively scaled (0 = ground level), visualizing the direction of digging into the ground.
