abstract

Two main census and trapping methods of dendrophilous rodents, mainly species of dormice (Gliridae) — edible dormouse (Glis glis), forest dormouse (Dryomys nitedula), and hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) — are considered. The first way to collect data is to search for natural above-ground nests or to install and test artificial nest-boxes such as beehive or other types of birdhouses. The second method is to install standard traps on trees (on tree butt, trunks or branches) both mousetraps and live traps. The former are fixed on tree butts or tree trunks, the latter are mostly installed on tree branches. Possible ways to attach traps are considered.
