Data from: Edible dormice (Glis glis) avoid areas with a high density of their preferred food plant - the European beech [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Numerous species, especially among rodents, are strongly affected by the availability of pulsed resources. The intermittent production of large seed crops in northern hemisphere tree species (e.g., beech Fagus spec.,oak Quercus spec., pine ...

Variation in hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) presence in hedge and scrub habitats
Ecological Solutions and EvidenceHabitat restoration at a landscape scale is key to reversing the loss of biodiversity arising from habitat destruction. In landscapes that are intensively used by people, such as for agriculture, valuable restoration efforts might be applied not just to ‘

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions

Living in a changing world: Physiological and behavioural flexibility of juvenile Garden Dormice [PDF]
, 2022 Heterothermy, or torpor, allows individuals to save energy by active reduction of metabolism and decreased body temperature. Social thermoregulation or huddling allows individuals to minimize energy needs while maintaining a relatively high body ...

Influence of forest stand on the reproductive biology of the edible dormouse Glis glis
Folia OecologicaIn this study, carried out between 2018 and 2024, we investigated how stand species composition, stand age, and tree mast cycles affect selected life functions of the edible dormouse.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Hazel Dormice (Muscardinus avellanarius) on the move in Nottinghamshire, England: A reintroduction success [PDF]
, 2022 <p>Historical records from 1885 suggest that the Hazel Dormouse (<em>Muscardinus avellanarius</em>) was once present in Nottinghamshire. However, the species was thought to have become locally extinct as recently as the 1950s.
