Common dormouse in small isolated woods: In: Natura Croatica, Vol. 6, No. 2 (1997), pp. 271-274; Language: English; Notes: Proceedings of IIIrd International Conference on Dormice, Mošćenička Draga, Croatia, 9-12th October 1996; Abstract: Common dormice in small isolated woods were studied in 1996 in Saxony (Germany). These woodlands were isolated for 150 years and there were no connecting structures between them. 215 nestboxes were put up and 75 live traps were used for capturing dormice. Animals were marked by ear-tattooing. There were 141 captures of common dormice, and 41 adults and 30 juveniles were marked. It seems that dormice do live isolated, but without genetic exchange they would not be able to survive. Hedgerows can be helpful as connecting structures during the possible migrations.

Distribution and ecological requirements of dormouse species occurring in Hungary: In: Natura Croatica, Vol. 7, No. 1 (1998), pp. 1-9; Language: English; Abstract: The distribution of three Hungarian dormouse species (Muscardinus avellanarius, Myoxus glis, Dryomys nitedula) is shown. The authors compare their data with maps of natural vegetation of Hungary, and indicate the original habitat requirements for each species. According to this, the most common and most adaptive species is Muscardinus avellanarius.
The authors also examined human affected habitats using live-traps at 12 sites in the country during 1995 and 1996. The hazel dormouse provided the largest number of captures, natural habitats were mostly inhabited by the fat dormouse and the forest dormouse was the rarest in traps and occurred in human affected habitats only.

Animals were captured in a larch woodland at 1600 m of altitude, inside the Val Troncea Natural Park (Piedmont region, Turin district). Garden dormice were trapped using 144 Sherman live traps, from May to September, during 1995-96. A total of 44 animals was marked. The high number of first recaptures occurred one or two nights after the implanting of the PIT tags and allows us to think that the animals did not modify their behaviour for the marking experience.

Social organization, home range and movement of the Garden dormouse Eliomys quercinus: In: Natura Croatica, Vol. 6, No. 3 (1997), pp. 303-312; Language: English; Abstract: In order to provide information on the ecology of the garden dormouse in the alpine habitat, a field study was started in 1995 using the capture-recapture method. The research was carried out in the Val Troncea Natural Park, situated in the Western Alps (Piedmont region, Turin district). During the two yera study, 30 adults and 23 juveniles were caught: 14 adults and 9 juveniles in 1995, 20 adults (four of them were also caught in 1995) and 14 juveniles in 1996. The mean movement of adults during one night was about 50 m, with a peak of 209 m. Differences through the months were not significant, for neither males nor females. Males appeared to be more mobile than females, especially in August. Movements during the trapping period showed the same pattern for males: they were little in June and increased in August. Home ranges were greater for males (mean 0.8 ha, N=2) than females (mean 0.62 ha, N=%); a female not reproductive exhibited a bigger range (1.04 ha). Adults resindent in the study area frequented the same part of the grid in 1995 and 1996.

Animals were captured in wooden livetraps twice a month, during trapping-periods lasting three days, and marked individually by tattooing. Surprisingly, after a year with good reproductive success (1992), a total lack of reproduction was observed in all three areas in 1993. Reproductive failure coincided with an lack of food resources in fall 1993. Presumably, bad weather conditions or predictive environmental signals, such as missing flower buds in the dry spring of 1993, prevented gonadal development in males.
