The feeding preference and bite response between Microtus fortis and Broussonetia papyrifera
These findings support further research examining animal-plant interactions and simultaneously provide insights into the utilisation of <i>B. papyrifera</i> resources and the management of rodents. The good palatability and the defense of <i>B. papyrifera</i> leaves suggest that they have the potential to contribute in development of plant rodenticide.
