You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''southern bog lemming''' ('''''Synaptomys cooperi''''') is a small [[North America]]n [[lemming]]. Its range overlaps with the other species in genus ''Synaptomys'', the [[northern bog lemming]], in southeastern [[Canada]], but extends farther south.

==Description==
Southern bog lemmings are covered with thick, brownish fur on their backs that ranges in color from reddish to dark brown and have a grizzled appearance. The belly is silver-gray. The shallow-grooved upper incisors and a relatively shorter tail distinguish this species from other rodents.<ref>((Cite book|title=Mammals of Indiana|last=Whitaker|first=John|publisher=Indiana University Press|year=2010|isbn=978-0-253-22213-8|location=Bloomington, IA|pages=218–220))</ref> They have relatively large heads and small eyes. The ears barely show through puffy head fur. Southern bog lemmings have four toes and one small, nailed thumb on the forefeet and five toes on the hind feet. Females have six teats, which distinguishes this species from its closest relative, northern bog lemmings, which have eight.<ref name="Wetzel">((cite journal|last1=Wetzel|first1=R.|title=Speciation and dispersal of the southern bog lemming|journal=Journal of Mammalogy|date=Feb 1955 |volume=36|issue=1|page=1|doi=10.2307/1375717|jstor=1375717))</ref> <!-- They have round, thick bodies covered with grey-brown fur with silver grey underparts. --> They have a large head, short legs, and a short tail which is lighter underneath. Their upper incisors are grooved. They are ((convert|13|cm|in|abbr=on)) long with a ((convert|2|cm|adj=on|in|abbr=on)) tail and weigh about ((convert|35|g|oz|abbr=on)).

==Range and habitat==
Southern bog lemmings are found in eastern North America, from southern Quebec and Manitoba in Canada to western Minnesota, to northwestern Georgia, to southwest Kansas, and east to the Atlantic Coast of the United States. This species is more common in deciduous and mixed coniferous–deciduous forests. The grassy openings and edges of these forests, especially where sedges, ferns, and shrubs grow and when the soil is loose and crumbly, are habitats the bog lemming prefers. It also inhabits wetter and drier sites when meadow voles are scarce or absent. The southern bog lemming creates a maze of interconnecting tunnels and runways and builds nests from plant fibers. Summer nests are on the surface of the ground or in a clump of sedges or grasses, but winter nests are usually underground in an enlarged tunnel. These animals are found in mixed forests, wetlands, and grasslands.<ref name="Gaines">((cite journal|last1=Gaines|first1=M|last2=Baker|first2=C|last3=Vivas|first3=A|title=Demographic attributes of dispersing southern bog lemmings (Synaptonmys cooperi) in eastern Kansas: Oecologia|journal=Journal of Mammalogy|date=1 Jan 1979|volume=40|issue=1|pages=91–101|doi=10.1007/bf00388813|pmid=28309606|bibcode=1979Oecol..40...91G|s2cid=19717184|doi-access=))</ref>

==Diet and feeding behavior==
Fresh vegetation, especially the leaves, stems, seeds heads, and roots of grasses and sedges is the main food of this species. Raspberries, blueberries and other fruits, insects, fungi, and bark form a lesser part of the diet. They cache grasses and sedge stems in underground chambers. They do not hibernate, and live in groups of a few to several dozen individuals.<ref name=Krupa>((cite journal|last1=Krupa|first1=J|last2=Haskins|first2=K|title=Invasion of the Meadow Vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) in Southeastern Kentucky and Its Possible Impact on the Southern Bog Lemming (Synaptomys cooperi)|journal=American Midland Naturalist|date=Jan 1996|volume=135|issue=1|pages=14–22|doi=10.2307/2426867|jstor=2426867))</ref> Female lemmings have two or three litters of four to six young in a year. The young are born in a nest in a burrow or concealed in vegetation. Most live less than a year. The range of these animals is thought to be declining in some areas due to loss of wetland habitat.

They are active year-round, mainly at night. They make runways through the surface vegetation and also dig burrows. These animals are often found in small colonies. Lemming populations go through a 3- or 4-year cycle of boom and bust.

==Reproduction==
Breeding can occur during any time of the year if food is plentiful. The gestation period is 21–23 days. At birth, the pups are blind and without fur. They also have claws at birth. By the end of their first week, young are well furred. They open their eyes at about 12 days of age. They are weaned at 3 weeks. Male southern bog lemmings reach sexual maturity in 5 weeks. Most individuals breed before they reach their maximum size.<ref>((cite journal|last1=Choate|first1=Wilson|title=Taxonomic status and biogeography of the southern bog lemming, synaptomys cooperi, on the central great plains|journal=Journal of Mammalogy|date=May 1997|volume=2|issue=2|pages=444–458|doi=10.2307/1382897|jstor=1382897|doi-access=free))</ref>

== Communication==
Southern bog lemmings are thought to communicate using scent marking. They also make squeaking vocalizations. Other methods of communication include acoustic, chemical, visual, and tactile.<ref name=Krupa/>

==Predators==
Southern bog lemmings have many predators, including owls, hawks, red foxes, gray foxes, domestic dogs, badgers, weasels, snakes, bobcats, and house cats.

Two subspecies have become extinct: [[Kansas bog lemming]] (''S. c. paludis''), and [[Nebraska bog lemming]] (''S. c. relictus'').((citation needed|date=January 2019))
