Abstract:   Conservation of the common dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius (L. 1758) (Mammalia, Myoxidae), in the Madonie Regional Park (Sicily).
The common dormouse is the rarest terrestrial mammal living in Sicily (Fig. 1), it is listed as a vulnerable species in the Vertebrate Italian Red List (by the IUCN categories) and legally protected by regional and european laws. A research on its ecology has been carried out in the Madonie Regional Park, by artificial wooden nest-boxes. From 1995 to 1999 more than 200 nest-boxes were set, in grids or transects, in 9 sample areas (Tab. 1, Fig. 2), whose habitat features are described in Appendices 1-3. The relative frequence index DAT = [n individuals/(n monthly checks x n nest-boxes)]x100; and the annual average of adult animals per area, allowed to gather data on the species density in the checked woodlands. Mesophilous oak woods together with chestnut and hazel groves (mixed with termophilous oak) proved to be the best habitats, whereas the pure ilex wood and the termophilous oak wood were the worst. The presence and relative good density in a typical mediterranean habitat, such as the low altitude maquis and wood, is notheworthy and needs to be underlined (Tabs. 1 and 2, Fig. 3). Data collected on natural nests (i.e. not within the artificial wooden nest-boxes) in a tenth area (S. Otiero) gave information, for the first time in Sicily, about the tree species, the average height and nest-hole exposure preferred for the construction of nests (Tab. 3). The reaserch also allowed to prove the heavy impact of forestry on the common dormouse populations. Two areas (the Gimmeti chestnut grove and the 'natural' S. Otiero) were cut and cleared during the study (Tabs. 4 and 5) and resulted in the destruction of two rich populations while reproducing (13 ad/ha at Gimmeti and 11,5 at S. Otiero). In the third area of Munciarrati the past continue clearance of the understorey, added to grazing, has created an unsuitable habitat for dormice. The situations recorded in these three sample areas, are only examples of habitat erosion and fragmentation, which is still occurring at a wider scale in the Natural Park. In the Madonie, as well as in many other protected areas of Sicily, man-induced forest summer fires are the illegal tool used to maintain a continue high demand (hundreds of workers and billions of liras) of forestry. The potential habitat erosion and fragmentation of woodland ecosystems is, so, occurring throughout the whole year, during june-october, by fires and, during october-april, by cut and clearance. Eventually, the research urges the Park administration to put in action some practical steps for a better woodland and dormouse conservation.
