Description:

The present paper is concerned with the study of the relationship between the structure of a small rodent community and spatial differentiation of the forest vegetation inhabited by it. The study area, in the vicinity of the town of Mikołajki (Mazurian Lake District, Poland), comprised alderwood, pine wood, willow brushwood and ash thicket together with their boundaries. The CMR method was used to collect material - small rodents were captured in six 10-day trapping series, in various seasons from 1977 to 1979. A total of 1515 rodents were caught belonging to the following species: Clethrionomys glareolus, Microtus agrestis, Microtus oeconomus, Microtus arvalis, Apodemus flavicollis, Apodemus agrarius, Mus musculus, Sicista betulina.
