Long living and reproduction skipping in the fat dormouse
In: Ecology, Vol. 84, No. 7 (2003), pp. 1784-1792
Language: English
Abstract:   We studied the reproductive strategy of a population of fat dormice (Myoxus glis) breeding in nest boxes in a beech forest on the southern Alps, Italy. In eight years of data collection (1991–1998), we observed births only in 1991, 1992, and 1995. We did not observe young during the autumn dispersal in the remaining five years. Reproduction was not correlated with high rainfall, low temperature in summer, or with population density. Reproduction was only observed in years of beech mast seeding. Body condition of adults when they emerged from hibernation did not differ between years with and without reproduction, suggesting that the adults may avoid breeding when the young have a low probability of surviving their first winter. A capture–recapture analysis on individually marked adult fat dormice identified a very high yearly survival rate (0.86–0.92), close to that of large herbivorous mammals and much higher than that typical of other rodent species with similar body size. No influence of sex on survival or recapture probability was detected. The long life span expectancy of an adult dormouse (averaging nine years) is the prerequisite for the infrequent breeding strategy adopted by this rodent species to cope with an unpredictable food source. A high survival rate despite the small body size may have been possible because of the long hibernation time (>6 months). Long life span and intermittent breeding make the life history of fat dormice unique among rodents.

The use of caves by the edible dormouse (Myoxus glis) in the Slovenian karst
In: Natura Croatica, Vol. 6, No. 3 (1997), pp. 313-321
Language: English
Abstract:   During field research on the Slovene high southern plateau, we collected data on the presence of edible dormouse in 43 caves. Field research was undertaken for such signs of dormice in the caves as runs, droppings, hair and dead animals. Additional records are based on direct observations of live animals. In the majority of cases, caves which reveal the obvious presence of dormice are not accessible to the stone marten. The droppings and even bodies of edible dormice in the caves might be an important nutrient imput for troglobionts. According to its frequent occurrence in a cave habitat, we can classify the edible dormouse as a cave dwelling animal.

The fat dormouse Myoxus glis as a natural host of medically important microorganisms
In: Natura Croatica, Vol. 6, No. 2 (1997), pp. 253-262
Language: English with Croatian summary
Notes:  Proceedings of IIIrd International Conference on Dormice, Mošćenička Draga, Croatia, 9-12th October 1996
Abstract:   Fat dormouse (Myoxus glis) was examined as a potential host of hantaviruses and rickettsiae. 98 animals were collected from three different regions in Slovenia (Godovic, Metlika, Sneznik). Serological methods were used for detection of specific viral and/or rickesttsial antibodies in animal sera samples. With the PCR method and restriction enzyme digestion, viral and rickettsial genomes were examined. Myoxus glis was confirmed as a host of Hantaan virus. The prevalence of hantaviral infection among the population of Myoxus glis was  13.3%. It was established that animal age plays a role in the probability of infection with hantaviruses, but not the sex. Rickettsial infection was not confirmed in Myoxus glis with any of the methods used.
