  • Decayed Trees As Resting Places for Japanese Dormouse, Glirulus Japanicus During the Active Period
    Decayed trees as resting places for Japanese dormouse, Glirulus japanicus during the active period HARUKA AIBA, MANAMI IWABUCHI, CHISE MINATO, ATUSHI KASHIMURA, TETSUO MORITA AND SHUSAKU MINATO Keep Dormouse Museum, 3545 Kiyosato, Takane-cho, Hokuto-city, Yamanashi, 407-0301, Japan Decayed trees were surveyed for their role as a resting place for non-hibernating dormice at two sites, at southwest of Mt. Akadake in Yamanashi Prefecture (35°56’N, 138°25’E). A telemeter located three dormice, which frequently used decayed trees in the daytime, with two at more than 50% of the times. The survey also showed decayed trees made up only about one fourth of all trees present in various conditions in habitat forests. These two data indicated that decayed trees are an important resting place for non-hibernating dormice in the daytime and provide favorable environmental conditions for inhabitation. Using national nut hunt surveys to find protect and raise the profile of hazel dormice throughout their historic range NIDA AL FULAIJ People’s Trust for Endangered Species (list of authors to come) The first Great Nut Hunt (GNH), launched in 1993 had 6500 participants, identifying 334 new sites and thus confirming the presence of dormice in 29 counties in England and Wales. In 2001, 1200 people found 136 sites with positive signs of hazel dormice. The third GNH started in 2009. Over 4000 people registered and to date almost 460 woodland or hedgerow surveys have been carried out, in conjunction with a systematic survey of 286 woodlands on the Isle of Wight. Of the 460 surveys carried out by the general public, 74 found evidence of dormice.

ZooKeys 1004: 129–139. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1004.57359 Abstract A list of 40 species is presented of the rodents and insectivores collected during a 15-year period from the Republic of Mordovia. The dataset contains more than 24,000 records of rodent and insectivore species from 23 districts, including Saransk. A major part of the data set was obtained during expedition research and at the biological station. The work is based on the materials of our surveys of rodents and insectivo- rous mammals conducted in Mordovia using both trap lines and pitfall arrays using traditional methods. Keywords Insectivores, Mordovia, rodents, spatial distribution Introduction There is a need to review the species composition of rodents and insectivores in all regions of Russia, and the work by Tovpinets et al. (2020) on the Crimean Peninsula serves as an example of such research.

  • Multiannual Dynamics of Shrew (Mammalia, Soricomorpha, Soricidae) Communities in the Republic of Moldova
    Muzeul Olteniei Craiova. Oltenia. Studii úi comunicări. ùtiinĠele Naturii. Tom. 27, No. 2/2011 ISSN 1454-6914 MULTIANNUAL DYNAMICS OF SHREW (MAMMALIA, SORICOMORPHA, SORICIDAE) COMMUNITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA NISTREANU Victoria Abstract. The paper is based on the existing bibliographical data, on the collection of vertebrate animals of the Institute of Zoology of AùM and on personal studies performed in the last years on the whole territory of Moldova. During the last 50 years considerable modification of shrew communities in various types of ecosystems on the whole territory of Moldova were registered. The most well adapted species is the common shrew, being dominant in the majority of the studied periods. The bicolour shrew, which was a rare, endangered species, introduced in the Red Book of Moldova, 2nd edition, became one of the most common among shrews in the last few years, while the Mediterranean water shrew that was one of the most abundant in the past century, at present became very rare, because of the pollution and transformation of wet and water habitats. The pygmy shrew is wide spread in various types of ecosystems, but its abundance is always below 25%. The lesser shrew is the most synanthropic species among shrews, its frequency in urban and rural area reaching 80%. The shrew species are good ecological indicators. Further measures on the protection of natural and water habitats must be taken. Keywords: shrew, dynamics, natural and anthropogenic ecosystems. Rezumat.

These enveloped viruses contain a single stranded, two-segmented RNA genome of negative polarity with ambisense coding strategy. According to their geographical distribution and phylogenetic relationships arenaviruses can be differentiated into the New World, e.g. Junin and Machupo virus, and Old World, e.g. LCMV and Lassa virus. The small (S) RNA segment codes for the nucleocapsid protein in the negative sense and glycoprotein precursor (GPc) in the opposite sense. The large (L) RNA segment encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (L protein) on one strand and the matrix (Z) protein on the other strand. Affected species (wildlife, domestic animals, humans) Wildlife: Rodents are the natural reservoirs of LCMV and the other arenaviruses. The infection of adult immunocompetent mice results in viral clearance within two weeks; only under certain circumstances a persistent infection will be established. Based on their phylogenetic relationship, host association and geographic distribution four genetic lineages I-IV have been defined.

Numerical response of predators to large variations of grassland vole abundance, long-term community change and prey switches Patrick Giraudoux1,*, Aurélien Levret2, Eve Afonso1, Michael Coeurdassier1, Geoffroy Couval1,2 1 Chrono-environnement, Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté/CNRS usc INRA, 25030, Besançon Cedex, France. 2 FREDON Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 12 rue de Franche-Comté, 25480, Ecole-Valentin, France. * [email protected] Abstract Voles can reach high densities with multi-annual population fluctuations of large amplitude, and they are at the base of large and rich communities of predators in temperate and arctic food webs. This places them at the heart of management conflicts where crop protection and health concerns are often raised against conservation issues. Here, a 20-year survey describes the effects of large variations of grassland vole populations on the densities and the daily theoretical food intakes (TFI) of vole predators based on road-side counts. Our results show how the predator community responds to prey variations of large amplitude and how it reorganized with the increase of a dominant predator, here the red fox, which likely impacted negatively hare, European wildcat and domestic cat populations. They also indicate which subset of the predator species can be expected to have a key-role in vole population control in the critical phase of low density of grassland voles.
