The article provides information on the author's criteria for the selection of habitats in the foothill and mountainous zones of the Carpathians, where the estimation method of the ecology of murids was worked out. Criteria for habitat selection for census algorithms are given, as well as the mechanism of marking and exploitation of trap-lines. A method of working with living and dead animals to identify the obtained material and uncertainly identified material is proposed. Examples of recording the census results of murids in the studied habitats, related to estimation of species composition, levels of quantity of small mammals and the proportion of individual species in local groups are presented. |
