Fluctuation patterns of bank vole populations were reviewed for central and north-western Europe. Many fairly stable populations occur in central and western Europe while clearly cyclic populations, with an interval of 3-4 year between peaks, are typical for northern Finnoscandia. There is a transition zone around 60 deg N. In forests in central Europe dominated by oak, and less so by beech and lime, bank vole populations demostrate outbreak dynamics lime, bank vole populations demonstrate outbreak dynamics with peaks at 6-9 year intervals, related to mast seeding
