Resource partitioning between the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus and the wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus in woodland habitats

摘要: Abstract Spatial and food resource use, activity time were studied in syntopical populations of bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus woodland habitats. In every habitat, the two species selected different microhabitats; abundance thin vegetation size dispersion overstorey trees generally variables that segregated microhabitat, but no constant preferences shown by habitat. Time rhythms significantly different, with showing a multi‐phase diel activity, while was strictly nocturnal. However, diets overlapped almost completely; showed higher preference for seed‐formed diet, both folivore granivore feeding habits. The differences microhabitat selection suggested shifting use due to competition between species; absence significant differences...
