“…For example in the Bialowieza forest, most litters of D. nitedula are born in the second half of June, with an average litter size of 3.9 young (Golodushko and Padutov 1961). In the Voronezh reserve, the main period of birth is between 11 and 25 of June and the average litter size is 4.0 and 4.1 young in two successive years, respectively (Angermann 1963). An average of 4.7 (two to six) embryos per female were recorded in central Ukraine, and juveniles are often born from May to June (Samarskii and Samarskii 1979).…”

“…Meanwhile, in the Polish part of the same forest, dormice were live-trapped from the beginning of May until the end of September (Ściński and Borowski 2006). In the Voronezh reserve, the last active D. nitedula were recorded in late September and early October in two successive years (Angermann 1963).…”

“…Studies supported by Fauna & Flora International in 2001-2002 revealed that the population of D. nitedula in one of these forest tracts can be considered a metapopulation, i.e., a system of local populations living in suitable habitat patches, which interact with one another via individuals moving among these local populations (Hanski and Gilpin 1991). The local populations of D. nitedula in mixed forest stands are mostly isolated by pure Scots pine stands, which are not suitable for their feeding and breeding activities (Angermann 1963, Juškaitis et al 2012, Pilāts et al 2012), but are possibly crossed by dispersing juveniles.…”

From 1999 to 2013, a long-term capture-markrecapture study was carried out in a local population of the forest dormouse, Dryomys nitedula, in a mixed forest patch surrounded by unsuitable habitat in Lithuania. Many aspects of this population's ecology are different from those situated elsewhere. In the population, the activity period of D. nitedula was the shortest in the entire range (about 4.5 months, late April to early September). Breeding season was early and short, most litters were born in early June, and the average litter size (3.2 ± 1.1 young) was very small. The average densities of the local population were 4.5 ± 1 and 6.7 ± 2.1 ind./10 ha after and before hibernation, respectively. The abundance of the local population was stable, and the sex ratio was approaching 1:1 among adult individuals, except in the first years of the study when abundance was higher than usual and the sex ratio was female-biased. One-year-old dormice comprised about 49% of the population, while 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds and older accounted for 24%, 14% and 13%, respectively. Maximum life span was 6 years in one female and maximum body weight recorded before hibernation was 57.5 g in an adult male.

“…Orange fruits and insects were the most consumed, in contrast with gastropods, plant matter, and other foods which were less consumed. In other dormice species such as the forest dormouse Dryomys nitedula (Pallas 1779), plant matter was considered a supplementary resource (Angermann 1963, Holišova 1968.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the feeding habits of the garden dormouse Eliomys quercinus in orange groves of eastern Spain. The study area was an extensive orange grove near Sagunto (Valencia, Spain). This study combines two different non-invasive methods, the study of food store remains and the macroscopic analysis of feces. A total of 527 feces and the food remains of 172 food stores were recollected from nest boxes. Each feces was classified into five categories according to its characteristics: arthropods, gastropods, oranges, plants, and others. Throughout the year, the garden dormouse consumed all these types of food. The most consumed prey in summer and autumn were insects. However, in winter and spring orange fruit was the principal food type. Seasonal variation of orange, arthropods, gastropods, and plant matter consumption occurred. Among animal prey types, insects were the most consumed group and largesized species were preferred. Vertebrate preys were found in food stores. The annual variation of the garden dormouse diet owing to the seasonal availability of resources in an agricultural environment revealed its feeding behavior plasticity.

IWith 7 Tables & 7 Figs.]Oxygen consumption was determined in the fat dormouse, forest dormouse and common dormouse in late spring and early summer, and in autumn. Since 24-hr measurements were obtained the activity of these animals could be also evaluated. Moreover, food consumption of the fat dormouse was determined in spring. Considerable seasonal differences metabolic rate were observed. Cost of maintenance as estimated from food consumption is slightly higher than -that calculated from oxygen consumption. The daily energy budget (DEB) was computed for all 3 species. DEB of hibernating rodents in the period of their active life appears identical with that of non-hibernating animals. In an attempt to estimate annual cost of maintenance it was calculated that in the half-year hibernation period, these species consume less than 10% of their total annual energy budget. CONTENTS
