In the mixed areas of grassland and clover that were described above,

the cotton rat (_Sigmodon hispidus_), the deer mouse (_Peromyscus

maniculatus_), and the little short-tailed shrew (_Cryptotis parva_)

were commonly caught in the runways of the prairie vole. Less frequently

trapped were the common mole (_Scalopus aquaticus_), the large

short-tailed shrew (_Blarina brevicauda_), the Cooper lemming mouse

(_Synaptomys cooperi_), the pine mouse (_Pitymys nemoralis_), and the

harvest mouse (_Reithrodontomys megalotis_). In the dense growth of

Japanese honeysuckle, the prairie vole shared runways with the

white-footed mouse (_Peromyscus leucopus_), the large short-tailed

shrew, and the pine mouse.
