    MAMMAL COMMUNICATIONS Volume 6 ISSN 2056-872X (online) Patrick James © Nick C. Downs, Mike Dean, David Wells, and Alisha Wouters Displacing and translocating hazel dormice Mammal Communications Displacing and translocating hazel dormice (Muscardinus avellanarius) as road development mitigation measures. Nick C. Downs1,2*, Mike Dean3, David Wells4, and Alisha Wouters5 ABSTRACT Road development can remove valuable wildlife habitat and reduce habitat connectivity. Where such works impact on European Protected Species in the UK, such as hazel dormice (Muscardinus avellanarius), mitigation is required to satisfy the relevant Statutory Nature Conservation Organisation licensing process. The study described here concerns the removal of dense road verge landscape planting occupied by hazel dormice prior to the construction of a new road junction and slip roads on a dual carriageway in Wales. Pre-construction monitoring started in May 2007, followed by vegetation clearance between August and September. Dormice were displaced into retained habitat through maximum daily vegetation clearance of 30 m lengths (varying widths), in parallel with translocation. This process resulted in the discovery of 48 natural (i.e. not within a nest box) dormouse nests, and the capture of 29 dormice for translocation; 90% were successfully released. Whilst within soft-release cages prior to release, dormice preferred a diet of blackberries (Rubus fruticosus agg.) and freshly picked hazel (Corylus avellana) nuts, prompting a recommendation for early Autumn (mid-August

  • 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.

  • Help Us Find Hazel Dormice
    Help us find hazel dormice People’s Trust for Endangered Species are asking members of the public to help us look for signs of dormice this Autumn and Winter. Dormice are rather sleepy creatures for much of the year. They spend as much as six months of each year in hibernation, curled up safely away from the harshest winter weather, under a pile of leaves in the base of a hedge or tree. Before tucking themselves away, dormice fatten up on fruits, berries and nuts so they have enough energy stored to see them through the winter months of inactivity. Why do we need to know where dormice are? Rhys Owen-Roberts Dormice are declining in the UK. We hope to find more places where dormice are present so that we can help and advise woodland owners on how to look after dormice on their land and monitor their well-being. How do we find dormice? Dormice are normally active at night, so it’s unusual to come across one by chance. Luckily, dormice open hazelnuts in a very specific way to get at the kernel within; so by looking at hazelnuts dropped under hazel trees or shrubs we can tell if there have been dormice around, chomping their way through these nuts. How to get involved We need people to look for dormouse-nibbled hazel nuts and let us know what they find. A nut hunt is very simple and a great way to spend some time outside on an autumnal or wintery day. It can be a fun family activity too.

  • Scale, Pattern and Process in Biological Invasions
    SCALE, PATTERN, AND PROCESS IN BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS By CRAIG R. ALLEN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1997 Copyright 1997 by Craig R. Allen ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work presented in this dissertation would not have been possible without the cooperation and encouragement of many. Foremost is the understanding of my immediate family, that is my wife Patty and now three-year-old son, Reece. Reece, while generally confused about what I was doing, nonetheless supported my effort to "write a book" in order to become a "doctor." Conflicts arose only when he needed my computer for dinosaur games. My co-advisors, W. M. Kitchens and C. S. Holling, encouraged my investigations and provided me with intellectual support and opportunity. For the same reasons, I extend my appreciation to my committee members, S. Humphrey, M. Moulton and D. Wojcik. Numerous friends and colleagues provided me with intellectual support and acted as a sounding board for ideas. Foremost are E. A. Forys, G. Peterson M. P. Moulton and J. Sendzemir as well as the entire "gang" of the Arthur Marshal Ecology Laboratory. I wish to thank all for their support and friendship. II!

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. Studies of rodent and insectivore diversity and distribution have a long history, but there are no lists for many regions of Russia of Copyright A.V.
