In Pennsylvania, the most common species of voles include the meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus), the pine vole (Microtus pinetorum), and the water vole (Microtus richardsoni). The meadow vole is typically found in open fields and grasslands, while the pine vole prefers wooded areas and gardens. These small rodents are known for their burrowing habits and can significantly impact local vegetation.

Since a vole is also called a meadow rat, I believe that it does. Wikipedia has a very good article on voles.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Microtus pennsylvanicus.
Prairie voles typically have 2 to 6 litters per breeding season, with each litter consisting of about 3 to 6 babies. This means that a female prairie vole can produce anywhere from 6 to 36 offspring in a single breeding season, depending on environmental conditions and resource availability. Their high reproductive rate helps maintain their population in the wild.
Optimal meadow vole habitat consists of moist, dense grassland with substantial amounts of plant litter. Habitat selection is largely influenced by relative ground cover of grasses and forbs; soil temperature, moisture, sodium, potassium, and pH levels; humidity; and interspecific competition.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Microtus californicus.
