abstract

The spectrum of methods for the study of dendrophilous rodents practiced in the assessment of presence, counting, and, in some cases, in determining the age-sex structure and phenotypic variability, including colour variability, is considered. The basis of this spectrum is the direct field research and the research through data accumulation. Direct field activities include: attracting, finding activity positions, installation and inspection of nest boxes, trapping animals, owl pellet material. Accumulative methods of data collection and analysis (mostly remote) include questionnaires, processing of observation cards from monitoring services, mapping of collections and locations, and analysis of hunting statistics.
