Middendorff's vole (Alexandromys middendorffi) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.[2] It is found only in Russia, most commonly north Siberia.[1]
The common name commemorates Alexander Theodor von Middendorff (1815–1894), a German–Russian naturalist who traveled extensively in Siberia. It is also known as the north Siberian vole or Altai vole.[3]
This vole, along with Stenocranius gregalis, is one of the primary preys of the Arctic fox on the Yamal Peninsula.[4]
