The Dormice (Myoxidae) of Southern Africa
Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1995 <strong>Abstract</strong> Very little is known about the dormice of Africa south of the Sahara, even their current classification is suspect. This paper summarises the information available in the literature on the four (probable) species of dormouse found in southern Africa. Mean body masses are approximately >55 g, 50 g, 27 g and &#

Arboreal activity of Glirulus japonicus ( Rodentia: Myoxidae ) confirmed by use of bryophytes as nest materials [PDF]
Acta Theriologica, 1995 The structural materials of twenty one nests of the Japanese dormouse Glirulus japonicus (Schinz, 1845) collected at Mt Fuji and Mt Akadake in 1988, were analyzed. Fifty seven species of bryophytes were found: 42 species of Musci and 15 of Hepaticae which constituted the major portion of the materials sampled.
