Fine structural modifications of liver, pancreas and brown adipose tissue mitochondria from hibernating, arousing and euthermic dormice.
In: Cell Biology International, Vol. 25, No. 2 (2001), pp. 131-138
Language: English
Abstract:   An ultrastructural and morphometric study was performed on mitochondria of euthermic, hibernating and arousing hazel dormice ( Muscardinus avellanarius), in order to investigate possible modifications during the seasonal cycle. Hepatocytes, pancreatic acinar cells and brown adipocytes were considered. Our results demonstrated that: (1) the general morphology of mitochondria of all cell types shows slight modifications during the seasonal cycle; (2) mitochondrial size and inner membrane length significantly increase from euthermia to hibernation and decrease upon arousal in all cell types; (3) mitochondrial matrix granules drastically increase in number during hibernation and decrease upon arousal in hepatocytes and pancreatic acinar cells, whereas they do not change in brown adipocytes. These structural modifications are probably related to the changes in cellular energy needs during the euthermia-hibernation-arousal cycle.

The use of dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius nest boxes by two species of Apodemus in Britain
In: Acta Theriologica, Vol. 45, No. 4 (2000), pp. 443-453
Language: English
Abstract:   The occupancy of Muscardinus avellanarius (Linnaeus, 1758) nest boxes by Apodemus flavicollis (Melchior, 1834) and A. sylvaticus (Linnaeus, 1758) was studied over a six-year period from five sites in southern Britain. A. flavicollis was a regular visitor to nest boxes, occupying them more frequently than A. sylvaticus or any other small mammal. Litters of A. flavicollis were uncommon in nest boxes suggesting these boxes were rarely used for breeding. It seems likely that nest boxes form temporary nesting places for individuals, pairs or small communal groups. A. flavicollis sometimes take over nest boxes occupied by M. avellanarius, usually constructing their own nests and sometimes removing old nest material. M. avellanarius may avoid nest boxes occupied by A. flavicollis earlier in the same year. Boxes favoured by M. avellanarius in one year tended to be reselected by them in the following year, but no such trend was apparent in box selection by A. flavicollis. Overall, there was little evidence to suggest that the presence of A. flavicollis had a significant impact on M. avellanarius occupancy of nest boxes.

Abstract:   Different places of hibernation of Glirulus japonicus were monitored. The home range of a male was larger than that of a female, and they overlapped. The adult female remains in her home range for several years and has litters, while the young female moves from the mother's home range. The Japanese dormouse eats bark, pollen and insects. It sometimes saved food as food-cache in autumn.

A review of the fat dormouse (Glis glis) in Britain

Language: English
Notes:  Proceedings of IIIrd International Conference on Dormice, Mošćenička Draga, Croatia, 9-12th October 1996
Abstract:   The fat dormouse (Glis glis) was introduced to Britain in 1902. The species is still confined to a relatively restricted area. Its legal status is confused, being both legally protected, but at the same time an alien species and significant pest. Licences may be granted to trap Glis, but they may not then be released into the wild because they are not a native species in Britain. The total British population is unlikely to be less than 10,000. Nobody seems to be regularly monitoring Glis in Britain, but some small studies have now begun aimed at understanding more about population density, movements and potential ways of controlling this animal.
