A classification of the Gliridae (Rodentia) on the basis of dental morphology
Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1995 <strong>Abstract</strong> The supra-familiar relationships of the Gliridae are discussed. The criterion used for subdividing the Gliridae is the morphology of the cheek teeth because this is the only character known for all taxa.

Assessing the occupation of nest boxes by dormice (Gliridae) in the Carpathian forests
Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2020 Nest boxes for dormice (Gliridae) can significantly increase the habitat’s carrying capacity for these species in areas under high anthropopressure and facilitate the long-term monitoring of populations. As part of the active protection of dormice in the
