Abstract The garden dormouse ( Eliomys quercinus ) is an understudied mammal species endemic to Europe. Once distributed widely across the continent, its eastern populations have significantly declined, with now found in only 50% of former range. In Germany, it also occurs spruce forests low mountain ranges. However, this habitat has recently been lost due bark beetle infestation following a prolonged period drought. some places, not dead trees are removed, but all branches and topsoil. We...
Genomic resources are important for evaluating genetic diversity and supporting conservation efforts. The garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus) is a small rodent that has experienced one of the most severe modern population declines in Europe. We present high-quality haplotype-resolved reference genome dormouse, combine comprehensive short long-read transcriptomics datasets with homology-based methods to generate highly complete gene annotation. Demographic history analysis revealed sharp...

Abstract The Kafa Biosphere Reserve (KBR) is the largest montane forest reserve in Ethiopia and was declared officially a United Nations Educational, Scientific Cultural Organization (UNESCO) biosphere 2010. Only recently, however, has been surveyed terms of its small‐ medium‐sized mammal inhabitant species. KBR supports diverse variety habitat types, which are increasingly under pressure from anthropogenic degradation. During 2014 dry season 2019 wet season, we used traps, mist‐nets,...
Aus Nordrhein-Westfalen werden neue Funde von Farbmutanten bei Schermäusen gemeldet, und zwar Albino, Schwarz Cremefarben. Bei letzterer sind die Körperhaare rein weiß Haarspitzen cremefarben. Von war diese Variante bisher nicht bekannt, wohl aber Waldmäusen aus Deutschland den Niederlanden.
A note on Acanthodactylus guineensis (Boulenger, 1887) (Sauria: Lacertidae).-Despite the recently considerably increased knowledge of distribution range guineensis, scalation characters all available specimens (67 specimens) this rare lacertid lizard reveal no geographically correlated variation.A. ranging from Mali to Cameroon, has be regarded as monotypic.A lectotype is designated for Eremias benuensis Monard, 1949, a synonym A. guineensis.
Abstract A sample of 10 skulls Vulpes vulpes arabica from the southeastern part Sultanate Oman was investigated craniologically. The measurements fit well into known datascts subspecies. foxes show same secondary teeth losses as animals Europe, but no paradental disease or dental caries. Age structure population is more natural than in Europe due to lower almost non-existent pressure human hunting. In relation slight seasonal change climatic conditions, incremental lines tooth cement are...
One of the challenges small mammal conservation is to be able find target species in field. This especially true for nocturnal hibernators like dormice. Passive bioacoustic monitoring, as a non-invasive method, can useful tool more efficiently vocalizing animals However, methods produce large amount data, which manual analysis highly time consuming. Therefore, there need an automatized process identifying animal vocalization acoustic data. Two types recorders, audiomoths and BAR-LT were...
Garden Dormouse populations have been decreasing in range and declining number throughout Europe. For effective conservation strategies, it is important to know where which habitats the species still occurs. Effective monitoring methods are therefore urgently needed especially because Glirids difficult monitor due their nocturnal activity relatively low population density. The city of Wiesbaden (central Germany close River Rhine) harbors a stable population. In summer 2019 field mapping...
The Garden Dormouse has shown an ongoing decline over the last decades across large parts of its range. As reasons for species’ shrinking range are poorly understood, effective conservation actions have been lacking so far. Germany- wide project “In Search Dormouse” aims to investigate causes, and develop concepts measures mitigate decline. current distribution assessed using a large-scale citizen science approach. More than 6,000 dormouse observations were gathered via online reporting...
Im Rahmen eines Experten-Workshops an der Internationalen Naturschutzakademie auf Insel Vilm und dessen Nachbereitung wurden Empfehlungen zur Sicherung von Lebensraumverbund Wildtierwegen bei Bündelung Verkehrswegen Photovoltaik-Freiflächenanlagen (PV-FFA) erarbeitet. Zentrale Ergebnisse werden hier kurz dargestellt. Sie behandeln unter anderem die Berücksichtigung obligater Tabuflächen, Größenordnungen Abstandskriterien für eine Mindestdurchlässigkeit sowie strukturelle Ausstattung PV-FFA-Ränder.
