Description:

The energy flow through populations of wood mice Apodemus sylvaticus and bank voles Clethrionomys glareolus was studied in a oak Quercus petraea wood and in a yew Taxus baccata wood at Killarney, south-west Ireland, from 1975 to 1977. The energy requirements of the populations were calculated from capture-recapture data using information on metabolic rate, assimilation coefficients and caloric value of body obtained from the literature - data for Apodemus flavicollis was of necessity, substituted for A. sylvaticus.
