Bank vole is one of these species of mammals whose social interaction depends mainly on exchange of olfactory and acoustic/ultrasonic signals. Signalling pheromones serve for communication between the same sex, and male and female. Priming pheromones modify hormonal activity of bank voles. Ultrasonic vocalization is a second factor which takes part in communication between conspecifics. Males produce ultrasounds in presence of adult females
