EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 206 from the Collection of Watercolour Drawings of British Vertebrates, 1830-1841, features an exquisite illustration of the European water vole, Arvicola terrestris, by the renowned Scottish naturalist and artist, William MacGillivray (1796-1851). This nineteenth-century drawing showcases the European water vole in its natural habitat, which includes wetlands, riversides, and marshes. The European water vole, also known as the common water vole or the European water mouse, is a semi-aquatic mammal belonging to the family Arvicolidae, order Rodentia, and suborder Muroidea. MacGillivray's illustration captures the European water vole's distinctive features, including its round, compact body, short legs, and long, scaly, almost hairless tail, which is used as a rudder when swimming. The European water vole is a member of the suborder Eutheria, which means it is a placental mammal, and the family Arvicolinae, which includes other voles and lemmings. The European water vole is an endangered species in many parts of Europe due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and water pollution. In the past, it was also hunted for its fur, which was highly valued. MacGillivray's illustration offers a glimpse into the past, when the European water vole was more abundant and thrived in its wetland habitats. The European water vole is often confused with the American water vole, Arvicola amphibius, but they are distinct species. The European water vole is also known as the northern water vole or the common water vole, and it is the largest European vole species. MacGillivray's illustration of the European water vole is a testament to the beauty and diversity of British wildlife during the nineteenth century. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the habitats of endangered species like the European water vole to ensure their survival for future generations.
