This thesis is composed of two parts. In the first one, sibling discrimination in juveniles of three vole species (Microtus arvalis, M.guentheri, and M.brandti) was compared in order to assess which of the hypotheses proposed for the occurrence of kin discrimination best fits the observed differences in vole behaviour. The second part uses the same three vole species to assess which of them has the most developed capacity to remember its siblings after a period of time spent in separation and whether this capacity can be explained by some of the proposed hypotheses.
