data suggest that prairie vole populations in Illinois, but not Kansas, prairie voles may live in communal groups. Kansas voles also show more exploratory behaviour than Illinois voles in the exposed arm of an elevated plus maze (Dharmadhikari et al. 1997), and are less likely than Illinois voles to spend time in contact with a sibling versus a stranger (Lee 1996). Taken together, these findings support the hypotheses that Illinois prairie voles tend to be philopatric, and that prairie voles from Kansas
