Good question. During normal business hours, probably about 20,000, but most of them live in Indiana and only work during the day in Michigan. I don't know how to answer your question exactly, since you don't specify whether you mean how many prairie voles reside in Michigan or how many merely spend most of their days there.
For resident prairie voles, I'd guess about 4500, give or take.

What evidence is there that mating and parental behavior can be under genetic influence?
Evidence that mating and parental behavior can be under genetic influence is seen with voles. Male prairie voles help their mates care for young. Unmated male prairie voles show little aggression toward other prairie voles, while a mated male becomes intensely aggressive toward any strange male or female prairie voles but remain nonaggressive toward his mate. Emory researchers found significant differences between the distribution of V1a receptors in the brains of monogamous prairie voles and their distribution in promiscuous montane voles. Researchers inserted the prairie vole V1a receptor into laboratory mice and the mice showed many of the same mating behaviors of monogamous male prairie voles.

How many babys does a prairie vole in a season?
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.
