Head—body 90-115 mm, tail 12-19-7 mm; weight 20-38 g (males) and 20-40 g (females). Externally, the Wood Lemming resembles voles rather than brown lemmings. It is small and robust, with large and blunt head, well-developed ears concealed in long fur, small eyes, and very short tail. Feet are slender and normally sized, with naked plantar and palmar surfaces; there are five plantar pads of considerable size. Females have eight nipples, two pectoral and inguinal pairs each. Pelage is slate-gray, with dull rusty brown patch of variable size; in one extreme, patch extends from eyes to rump but is frequently restricted to posterior back. Feet and tail are blackish slate. Skull is broad and depressed with nearly flat dorsal profile; nasals bend downward. Zygomatic arches are heavy. Supraorbital ridges merge into medial crest. Mandible shows no peculiarities, except a small coronoid process. Molar are rootless, broad, and heavy, with cement in reentrant folds. Enamel pattern is very similar to that in brown lemmings.

Staple diet of Wood Lemmings consists of stems and leaves of mosses (more than 90% of plants eaten). Dicranium mosses (Dicranium), hair mosses (Polytrichum), knight plum moss (Ptilium crista-castrensis), and stair-step mosses (Hylocomnium) are highly preferred. Other moss species (

Breeding season of the Wood Lemming is between early May and August— September and starts under snow. Gestation lasts 20-22 days, number of embryos per female is 2-9, and litters have 3-7 young. Mean number of embryos is higher in old females and also varies geographically and seasonally (means 4-1-7 young). Proportion of resorbed embryosis high (17:4-20-6%). A female can mate 3-4 days after parturition, and intervals between successive litters can be as short as 23-28 days. Young are born naked, blind, and with sealed ears. Body weights are 1-9-2-3 g at birth and 15-7 g at weaning

20. Young open eyes at 12-14 days old. Females mature at younger ages (22-40 days) than males (over 44 days). Individuals seldom live more than one year. Due to an unusual genetic system, Wood Lemmings produce c.3 times as many female as male offspring. Females are of two types, depending on their X sex chromosomes. The X-chromosome can be either orthodox (X) or with a mutation that inhibits male-determining effect of the Y-chromosome (X*). Only one of the possible combinations of sex chromosomes will produce males (XY), while all remaining combinations are females (XX, X*X, X*Y). X*Y females produce only daughters and have higher reproductive potential. Such a system may buffer against inbreeding during population lows. Densities of the Wood Lemming periodically have large oscillations, but peaks are rarely regular.

Wood LLemmings are mainly solitary and non-aggressive. Daily movements of captive individuals are c.700 m. They disperse from overpopulated habitats to other areas, and such movements are usually called migrations. Migrating Wood Lemmings are frequently killed on roads or drown in canals and while swimming across water obstacles or after falling from precipices and bridges. Migrations are most common in late August and early September and end with low temperatures. Migrations have no direction and cover several kilometers at most. Females have smaller home ranges (285 m?) than males (2144 m?).
