This preliminary study proposes small trapping grids as an alternative to traditional large grids for the simultaneous monitoring of several rodent populations by capture­-recapture. Monthly trapping sessions of wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 1780) were carried on over a small area (0.015 ha, 21 traps). The coherence of demographic parameter estimates on such small grids with those obtained on classical large grids was checked by performing two trapping sessions on a larger grid (0.9 ha, 110 traps, 10 m mesh) surrounding the small grid. We compared the two grid designs on the basis of sex ratio upon first capture, trap saturation rate, minimum number alive (MNA), monthly survival, and trappability. These demographic parameters proved to be non-biased by the trapped area, even though the precision was lower on the small grid. Small grids seem therefore to give the same picture of population dynamics as classical large grids except for parameters sensitive to an edge effect (eg density). By decreasing significantly the trapping effort, small grids will be of particular interest whenever the simultaneous operation of several trapping grids is needed (eg to compare different environmental conditions).

Spatial and temporal distribution of supernumerary or B chromosomes were studied in natural populations of wood mice. A total of 859 individuals belonging to several species from Eurasia were examined. A very high percentage of individuals possessing B chromosomes was found in Apodemus peninsulae (97.9%, n = 47), a high percentage in A. flavicollis (42.5%, n = 362), and a low one in A. syluaticus (2.4%, n = 210). No B chromosomes were observed in A. uralensis (n = 10), A. fulvipectus {n = 19), A. hermonensis (n = 1), A. agrarius (n = 58), A. mystacinus (n = 7), and in Apodemus species collected in Turkey (n = 74), Israel (n = 1), Azerbaijan (n = 2), Tadjikistan (n = 24), and Kyrghyzstan (n = 44). A modest to high frequency of B chromosomes was thus observed particularly in the species confined to a forest environment, whereas no B's were found in the species dwelling in open, steppe-like or rocky habitats. Both in A. peninsulae and A. flavicollis the frequency of B chromosomes varied among local populations. Follow-up studies revealed stability in the respective proportions of B chromosomes during subsequent years. However, no unambiguous interrelationship could be found between the frequency of B chromosomes and various biological and/or ecological variables. Therefore it seems that the incidence of B chromosomes is mainly determined by stochastic effects operating within the specific genetic background of a population.

We analysed Caucasian wood mice from Georgia (n = 60) and supplementary reference material of the Apodemus/Sylvaemus species group to evaluate the reliability of taxon identification. Traditional "expert knowledge" plus three different methodological approaches were employed and combined to perceive their discriminatory power for a reliable taxon assignment. Graphs of principal component scores derived from the analysis of 14 skull metrics displayed taxon membership of individuals. Individual multi­-locus (L = 18) electrophoretic profiles were used to re-assess specimens to a specific genepool by an assignment test based on allele frequencies indicative of populational taxon samples of the respective sampling locations. Genotyped individuals were re-allocated to those taxa, for which they yielded the highest probability score. Genetic distances among the taxa were computed and clustered in a neighbour-joining tree. PCR-fragments of 1074bp amplified from the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene were cut with 2 six- and 4 four-cutter restriction enzymes, and resulting RFLP patterns were analysed phenetically to classify the specimens according to their molecular similarity. Partial cytochrome b sequences were used to construct a phylogenetic tree by computing neighbour-joining clusters from a matrix of percent nucleotide differences. The power of the combined classification approaches and their congruence is discussed. It is concluded that the joint application of traditional, morphometric and biochemical or genetic tech­niques for taxon allocation of specimens of wood mice encountered problems in species delimitation. The mtDNA topology obtained was not congruent with protein polymor­phism that indicated differential historical and/or recent introgression and incomplete lineage sorting in substructured populations. Cytochrome b sequence DNA data analysed were not as adequate as expected to resolve phylogenetic relationships among Caucasian and European members of the Apodemus-Sylvaemus complex. Altogether, morphometric, biochemical and sequence data sets did not support the hypothesis of the evolutionary independence of European and Caucasian lineages of wood mice. Nonetheless, extended combined morphological and genetic analyses are considered necessary prerequisites to an in-depth study of the evolutionary lineages of the Apodemus/Sylvaemus group. More sequence data of a variety of genes (and plenty of nuclear markers) are needed to resolve the various levels of differentiation of the extant lineages.

The occupancy of Muscardinus auellanarius (Linnaeus, 1758) nest boxes by Apo­demus flauicollis (Melchior, 1834) and A. sylvaticus (Linnaeus, 1758) was studied over a six-year period from five sites in southern Britain. A. flauicollis was a regular visitor to nest boxes, occupying them more frequently than A, sylvalicus or any other small mammal. Litters of A. flauicollis 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. flauicollis sometimes take over nest hoxes occupied by M. avellanarius, usually constructing their own nests and sometimes removing old nest material. M. avellanarius may avoid nest boxes occupied by A. flauicollis earlier in the same year. Boxes favoured by M. auellanarius in one year tended to be reselected by them in the following year, but no such trend was apparent in box selection by A. flauicollis. Overall, there was little evidence to suggest that the presence of A. flauicollis had a significant impact on M. avellanarius occupancy of nest boxes.

Age changes of bone tissue and molar cementum, and formation of daily layers in dentin of incisors enable us to estimate age and maximum lifespan, season of birth, season of death, sexual maturation, sex in adults, and in combination with tetracycline prebaiting, movements and space distribution of rodents. In hibernating rodents, the hibernation zone formed in incisor dentin can be used to assess inter- and intra­population variations in seasonal activity and growth. This approach is illustrated by examples from the study of rodents of the genera Apodemus and Sicista.

The helminths of two sympatric species of rodents, the striped field mouse Apodemus agrarius and the yellow-necked mouse, Apodemus flavicollis from Slovakia were studied to determine whether there are similarities in the composition of the helminth fauna of two closely related host species living in the same area. A total of twelve species of helminths were identified in these rodent populations, including Brachylaima sp. (Trematoda); Hymenolepis diminuta (Rudolphi, 1819), Mesocestoides sp. larvae, Rodentolepis fraterna (Stiles, 1906), Rodentolepis straminea (Goeze, 1782), Skrjabinotaenia lobata (Baer, 1925), Taenia taeniaeformis larvae (Batsch, 1786) (Cestoda); Aonchotheca annulosa (Dujardin, 1845), Heligmosomoides polygyrus (Dujardin, 1845), Heterakis spumosa Schneider, 1866, Mastophorus muris (Gmelin, 1790) and Syphacia stroma (Linstow, 1884) (Nematoda). In A. agrarius, H. polygyrus was the most prevalent, as well as the most abundant helminth, but R. fraterna was the species with the highest mean intensity. In contrast, S. stroma dominated the A. flavicollis helminth fauna with the highest prevalence, mean abundance and mean intensity. Both rodent populations harboured nine helminth species, although the mean individual species richness was significantly higher in A. agrarius than in A. flavicollis. The analysis of helminth diversity at both component and infracommunity levels revealed differences between the two rodent populations, which are most likely attributable to the specific host ecology.

Apodemus sylvaticus stankovici, described from the topographically rough landscape of the western Balkan glacial refugium, was recently proposed as being either a junior synonym of Apodemus flavicollis or a species on its own right. To untangle this taxonomic vagueness, we sequenced complete cytochrome b gene in 28 field mice collected at 12 locations in the mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, western Macedonia and northern Greece. Samples yielded 27 new haplotypes which clustered into two distinct groups. One of these clades also included the reference haplotype of A. flavicollis, while another cluster emerged as being identical with the reference sample for A. sylvaticus. As is common in Apodemus, both species retrieved in our analysis were characterized by low levels of intraspecific variation (0.4–0.9%) as opposed to a high level of differentiation between them (8.0–10.0%); therefore, the taxonomic classification of our material was without doubt. We found no evidence regarding the presence of an additional cryptic species in the mountains of the western Balkans. The very similar values of genetic variability in the two species imply their common evolutionary history of a long-term coexistence in the western Balkan refugium.

Previously unrecognized species of the genus Hymenolepis are described based on specimens from spalacid and murid (Murinae) rodents. Hymenolepis rymzhanovi sp. nov. from the Siberian zokor, Myospalax myospalax (Laxmann), from East Kazakhstan, and H. apodemi sp. nov. from Eurasian field mice, Apodemus peninsulae (Thomas), A. uralensis (Pallas) and A. agrarius (Pallas), from the south of Russian Far East, western Siberia and south-eastern Kazakhstan are characterized. The new species differ from other species of the genus by the morphology of the scolex, the relative position and length of the cirrus-sac and the relative position and arrangement of the testes. Differential criteria of species of Hymenolepis (sensu stricto) are also discussed.

Effects of heavy seed crop (mainly oak mast) in year 2003 and 2004 (no seed crops) on small mammal communities in three isolated stands of broad leaved lowland forests (area 60–280 ha) with different management were studied in southern Moravia in three sites: (1) close-to-nature not managed floodplain forest – Ulmeto–Fraxinetum carpineum (FF), (2) managed forest – Carpineto-Quercetum acerosum (MF), (3) pheasantry – Ulmeto-Fraxinetum carpineum, Saliceto- Alnetum and Carpineto-Quercetum acerosum, with a considerable number of biotopes including open areas (PH). We presumed the influence of seed production on mammal species, especially granivorous rodents. In the most numerous species (Apodemus flavicollis (Mel.), A. sylvaticus (L.) and Myodes glareolus (Pallas)) the demographic parameters (abundance, sex ratio), body mass, and body length were compared between populations in 2003 and 2004 in each stand. Animals were trapped in snap mousetraps laid out in lines. In 2003 reproduction of both Apodemus sp. Was extended to November in contrast to 2004, when it ceased already in the end of summer. Individual body mass of animals were significantly higher in 2004 vs. 2003 in all three species (A. flavicollis, P = 0.01; A. sylvaticus, P <0.01 and Myodes glareolus, P <0.05) but body length was higher only in case of A. sylvaticus (P <0.01). The forest stands under study in an intensively managed agroecosystem in southern Moravia play an important role as a refuge for small mammals.

Experimental removal was conducted to test interspecific competition between the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus (Linnaeus, 1758) and the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 17801 that dominate the rodent communities in the forested biotopes through most of central Europe. Population density, body mass, reproductive condition, and habitat use were compared among two experimental sites (where one of the species had been removed) and one control site. The 5-year-studv included pre- -removal, removal, and post-removal periods. Reproductive condition was not affected by the density of the competitor or the conspecifics. Also, we did not detected any habitat shift that could be related to competitive release. However, the removal of wood mice strongly affected the population density of bank voles, but the removal of bank voles affected density of wood mice only slightly. Thus, we conclude that the competitive effect was asymmetrical.

Small mammals were surveyed along a deforestation gradient in southern Gansu, China (2300-2600 m altitude), a high endemicity area for human alveolar echino­coccosis. Rodent distribution was assessed using removal trapping in six habitat types from timbered forest to farmland and villages, by index transects, and by the collection of specimens by local people, Species captured were 2 shrews: Anourosorex squamipes, Sorex sinalis-, 12 rodents: Eozapus setchuanus, Microtus limnophilus, Cricetulus long/- caudatus, Tscherskia triton, Apodemus agrarius, Apodemus draco, Apodemus penin- sulae, Micromys minutus, Mus muscitlus, Rattus noruegicus, Niviventer confucianus, Myospalax fontanieri\ and 1 lagomorph Ockotona thibetana. On the basis of trap success four rodent assemblages were recognized. Species richness decreases after deforestation, especially in the intermediate stage (scrubland-grassland).
