We assume that they did have a caecum at some time in the past and consequently may have had a different diet. We think that during the period of their maximum diversity in the Early Miocene, about 16 My ago, they still possessed the ...

A case study of the edible dormouse (Glis glis: Gliridae, Rodentia) biology using nestboxes

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2018
In the Middle-Volga Integrated Biosphere Reserve, studies of dormice have been conducted for 15 years. In 2016, 200 nestboxes for the edible dormouse (Glis glis) study were established. In this paper, the process of occupation of nestboxes is considered,
