Non-hibernating hazel dormice (Muscardinus avellanarius) construct nests in shrub and tree vegetation up to 10 m above the ground. They also readily use and build nests in boxes, which are often used as a tool to monitor populations. The availability of natural nest materials may affect nest site selection or nest box utilisation and to gain a better understanding of this we analysed the materials used in 56 dormouse nests, collected from boxes within six southern English woodlands in 2009, and estimated collection distances. The contribution individual nest materials made to the nests were assessed using dry weights. Out of 56 nests, 15 (26.8%) did not include any material from the plant species to which the nest box was attached. The total number of materials used was 18, with between one and eight materials used per nest (n=56, ̅= 3.54, SD=1.48). The estimated distances travelled to collect these materials ranged from 0 m to 50 m (n=197, ̅=3.29 m, SD=6.06). Dry weights of individual nests ranged from 4.25g to 38.01g (n=56, ̅=18.06 g, SD=8.25 g). The dry weight of an individual material in a nest ranged from 0.25 g (11 different materials) to 30.5 g (honeysuckle bark) (n=197 ̅=4.38 g, SD=5.13 g). Based on dry weight, the percentage contribution of a single material to an individual nest ranged from 0.8% (silver birch leaves) to 96.2% (honeysuckle bark) (n=197, ̅=24.91%, SD=26.37). There were statistically significant negative correlations between the distance travelled and the dry weight of a material (n=197, rs = -0.211, p=0.003), and the distance travelled and the percentage nest weight of a material (n=197, rs = -0.259, p=<0.001), although neither of these associations were particularly informative biologically. Where honeysuckle bark (Lonicera periclymenum) was not closely available, dormice could travel more than twice as far to collect it as any other material. The three furthest distances recorded were 30 m, 45 m and 50 m. Honeysuckle bark was also the most frequently used nest material, occurring in 84% of the sampled nests, and was most often the material comprising the largest dry weight (35.7%). The dry weight and the % of total nest weight of honeysuckle bark were significantly greater than other materials.
非冬眠榛睡鼠(Muscardinus avellanarius)在距离地面10米的灌木和乔木植被中筑巢。它们也很容易使用并在盒子里筑巢,盒子经常被用作监测种群的工具。天然筑巢材料的可用性可能会影响筑巢地点的选择或巢箱的利用,为了更好地理解这一点,我们分析了2009年在英国南部六个林地的56个睡鼠巢中使用的材料,并估计了收集距离。用干重法评价个体巢材对巢的贡献。在56个巢中,有15个(26.8%)巢箱所附着的植物没有任何材料。使用的材料总数为18种,每个巢使用1 ~ 8种材料(n=56, n= 3.54, SD=1.48)。收集这些材料的估计距离为0 ~ 50 m (n=197, n= 3.29 m, SD=6.06)。单巢干重范围为4.25g ~ 38.01g (n=56, n= 18.06 g, SD=8.25 g),单巢材料干重范围为0.25 g(11种不同材料)~ 30.5 g(金银花皮)(n=197, n= 4.38 g, SD=5.13 g),基于干重,单巢材料对单巢的贡献百分比范围为0.8%(白桦叶)~ 96.2%(金银花皮)(n=197, n= 24.91%, SD=26.37)。移动距离和材料干重(n=197, rs = -0.211, p=0.003)以及移动距离和材料巢重百分比(n=197, rs = -0.259, p=<0.001)之间存在统计学上显著的负相关,尽管这些关联在生物学上都不是特别有用。在金银花树皮(Lonicera periclymenum)不是很近的地方,睡鼠可以比其他任何材料走两倍多的距离来收集它。记录的三个最远距离分别是30米、45米和50米。金银花树皮也是最常用的筑巢材料,在84%的样本巢中出现,并且最常见的材料是最大的干重(35.7%)。金银花树皮的干重和占窝总重的百分比均显著大于其他材料。

The common dormouse is primarily herbivorous, specialising in high quality food. Insects have also been recorded in the diet, identified from their fragmented remains in faeces. We investigated the use of ‘DNA barcoding’ using mitochondrial DNA as an alternative. Samples were collected from seven sites in England. Half of the 26 samples contained insect DNA, from four species of Lepidoptera and one Dipteran. We conclude that this is a practical approach to investigating dormouse predation on insects and discuss its limitations.
普通睡鼠主要是食草动物,专门吃高质量的食物。昆虫也被记录在饮食中,从它们在粪便中的碎片残骸中识别出来。我们研究了使用线粒体DNA作为替代的“DNA条形码”的使用。样本是从英格兰的七个地点收集的。26个样本中有一半含有昆虫DNA,来自四种鳞翅目和一种双翅目。我们认为这是一种研究睡鼠捕食昆虫的实用方法,并讨论了其局限性。

Camera trap surveys can reveal the dynamics of deer “hotspots” in Ireland. 相机陷阱调查可以揭示爱尔兰鹿“热点”的动态。

Systematic camera trap surveys are important for gathering information on terrestrial wildlife. Such surveys reveal distributions, abundances, and behaviours that can inform conservation and wildlife management by providing evidence of animal presence at known locations and times. However, in Ireland, international-standard camera trap surveys have not been undertaken to inform the management of large terrestrial wildlife. Through participation in a continent-wide initiative (Snapshot Europe) with a shared methodology, we undertook Ireland’s first systematic camera trap survey for large mammals over a two-month period in 2021 in a known deer “hotspot” - central Wicklow, Ireland. We captured eight wild mammal species from 19 forest camera trap sites. Sika (Cervus nippon) or sika-red deer hybrids (Cervus nippon × Cervuselaphus) were detected at all sites and comprised 92% of all independent camera trap events of  wild mammals. Sika (and hybrid) events occurred at an average rate of 1.1 events per site per day. Females were more often detected than males (male:female = 1:1.42). We also noted that most females were not accompanied by juveniles (female:juvenile = 1:0.31). Overall, we demonstrate the efficacy of even this exploratory survey for revealing wildlife dynamics and generating data for science-informed management and conservation. We recommend that further surveys should be carried out across Ireland to achieve minimum international standards for monitoring terrestrial wildlife.
系统的相机陷阱调查对于收集陆地野生动物的信息非常重要。这些调查揭示了分布、丰度和行为,通过提供动物在已知地点和时间存在的证据,可以为保护和野生动物管理提供信息。然而,在爱尔兰,还没有进行国际标准的相机陷阱调查,为大型陆地野生动物的管理提供信息。通过参与一项具有共享方法的全大陆倡议(Snapshot Europe),我们于2021年在一个已知的鹿“热点”-爱尔兰中部威克洛进行了爱尔兰首次系统的大型哺乳动物相机陷阱调查,为期两个月。我们在19个森林摄像机陷阱点捕获了8种野生哺乳动物。所有地点均检测到梅鹿(Cervus nippon)或梅鹿-马鹿杂交(Cervus nippon × Cervuselaphus),占所有野生哺乳动物独立相机陷阱事件的92%。Sika(和混合)事件的平均发生率为每个站点每天1.1个事件。女性检出率高于男性(男:女= 1:1.42)。我们还注意到大多数雌性没有幼鱼陪伴(雌性:幼鱼= 1:0.31)。总的来说,我们证明了这种探索性调查在揭示野生动物动态和为科学管理和保护提供数据方面的有效性。我们建议在爱尔兰各地进行进一步的调查,以达到监测陆地野生动物的最低国际标准。

The presence of the greater white-toothed shrew has been confirmed from two sites in the borough of Sunderland in North East England. These represent the first records of the species in Great Britain. Dated photographic evidence indicates that the species has been established in that area since at least 2015. Research is required to ascertain the extent of its current distribution in Great Britain and its impacts on native small mammals and ecosystems more generally.

This study documents the presence of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena, Linnaeus 1758) in the tidal Thames from strandings, dedicated surveys and opportunistic sightings. In March 2015, a visual and acoustic vessel survey for harbour porpoises was conducted; 17 sightings and 45 acoustic detections of porpoise groups were documented. A conservative acoustic encounter rate of 4.2 animals/100 km surveyed is estimated, comparable to results from acoustic surveys in other important European porpoise habitats. Presented with data from opportunistic sightings records, porpoises are reported in the tidal Thames during all months, with peak presence in spring and late summer. Results support the need for further studies in this significant habitat, and that harbour porpoises must be considered when planning future activities and developments within the estuary.
本研究通过搁浅、专门的调查和偶然的目击,记录了泰晤士河潮汐区海港鼠海豚(Phocoena Phocoena, Linnaeus 1758)的存在。2015年3月,进行了港鼠海豚的视觉和声学船只调查;记录了海豚群的17次目击和45次声学探测。保守估计每100公里调查4.2只动物的声学偶遇率,与欧洲其他重要鼠海豚栖息地的声学调查结果相当。根据机会性目击记录的数据,鼠海豚在所有月份都在泰晤士河的潮汐中出现,春季和夏末是它们出现的高峰期。研究结果支持对这一重要栖息地进行进一步研究的必要性,并且在规划河口内未来的活动和发展时必须考虑到港鼠海豚。

Humans and foxes have a long history of coexistence and conflict. We assessed the “likeable” and “reproachable” characters of foxes as perceived by two populations of adults and children in England via a questionnaire. Londoners were more averse to neighbourhood foxes than respondents from the south-east, while attitudes of women were more favourable than those of men. Our data add to the pool of information about human perception of urban wildlife and may contribute to the development of conflict-resolution strategies by helping target education.

The history of stoats Mustela ermina and weasels M. nivalis in the Post-glacial of the British Isles 白鼬Mustela ermina和黄鼠狼M. nivalis在不列颠群岛冰期后的历史
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.59922/lulp5388

Introduction In reviewing the origins of the post-glacial mammal fauna of the British Isles, it was assumed that stoats and weasels were native, and little detail of their recent history was offered (Yalden 1982, 1999). In their review of the history of Mustelidae in western Europe in the Late and Post-glacial, Sommer & Benecke (2004) assembled an impressive set of records of these species for the continent, but included few records from the British Isles. While they included two Late Glacial records of stoat from Ireland, there were no Late Glacial records of either species from Great Britain. This has allowed informal speculation that the weasel, perhaps both species, were introduced by humans to Great Britain, however unlikely this might seem. A more detailed summation of the records for these species is thus worth attempting. Many come from local accounts, not readily available in the international literature on these species.
在回顾不列颠群岛冰期后哺乳动物群的起源时,人们假设白鼬和黄鼠狼是土生土长的,但很少提供它们最近历史的细节(Yalden 1982, 1999)。Sommer & Benecke(2004)在回顾西欧冰川晚期和冰川后的Mustelidae的历史时,收集了一组令人印象深刻的欧洲大陆这些物种的记录,但很少包括来自不列颠群岛的记录。虽然他们包括了两个来自爱尔兰的晚冰期白鼬记录,但没有来自英国的这两个物种的晚冰期记录。这使得人们非正式地推测,黄鼠狼,也许两个物种,都是由人类引入英国的,尽管这看起来不太可能。因此,对这些物种的记录作一个更详细的总结是值得尝试的。许多来自当地的记录,在国际文献中很难找到这些物种。

While they included two Late Glacial records of stoat from Ireland, there were no Late Glacial records of either species from Great Britain. This has allowed informal speculation that the weasel, perhaps both species, were introduced by humans to Great Britain, however unlikely this might seem. A more detailed summation of the records for these species is thus worth attempting. Many come from local accounts, not readily available in the international literature on these species.","PeriodicalId":105794,"journal":{"name":"Mammal Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129252591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of a long-term study of hedgehogs in The Regent’s Park (London, U.K.) begun in May 2014, we developed and tested an improved identification marking method using 10 mm lengths of yellow plastic sleeving (heatshrink polyolefin) bearing pre-printed animal identification numbers. During twice-yearly study periods, six spines on each hedgehog were marked with duplicate numbers in a single central patch just behind the crown of the head; easily visible in both active and rolled-up hedgehogs. From May 2016 (animals marked in September 2015) to May 2018, the mean number of tags remaining in the pelage after eight months (September to May) was 3.78 (SE = 0.24, n = 45) and 4.16 (SE = 0.31, n = 25) after four months (May to September). In five additional cases, individuals were easily identified after periods of one year or more. The tags have minimal welfare implications, do not interfere with the function of the spines and can be easily read by anyone finding the animal. We conclude that this method is very effective, requires minimal handling and is suitable for use by volunteer field workers. Only one marked spine allows correct identification, making it especially suitable for identifying road-killed, partially eaten or decomposed hedgehogs.
作为2014年5月开始在摄政公园(英国伦敦)对刺猬进行的长期研究的一部分,我们开发并测试了一种改进的识别标记方法,该方法使用10毫米长的黄色塑料套管(热缩聚烯烃),上面印有预先打印的动物识别号码。在一年两次的研究期间,每只刺猬的六根刺在头顶后面的一个中央补丁上被标记上重复的数字;在活动和卷起的刺猬中都很容易看到。2016年5月(2015年9月标记的动物)至2018年5月,8个月(9月至5月)后的平均标签数为3.78个(SE = 0.24, n = 45), 4个月(5月至9月)后的平均标签数为4.16个(SE = 0.31, n = 25)。在另外五个案例中,个体在一年或更长时间后很容易被识别出来。这些标签对福利的影响最小,不会干扰脊椎的功能,任何找到动物的人都能很容易地读懂。我们的结论是,这种方法非常有效,需要最少的操作,适合志愿现场工作人员使用。只有一根刺上有标记的刺可以进行正确的识别,这使得它特别适合于识别被公路撞死、部分被吃掉或腐烂的刺猬。
