Interactions between 2 Mediterranean Rodent Species: Habitat Overlap and use of Heterospecific Cues

摘要: AbstractFamiliarity with its habitat is vital for any individual, enabling it to meet requirements food, shelter, and reproduction. The questions of how optimal found shared a competitor species remain problematic rodents. Study the preferences selection 2 murinae from south France, short-tailed mouse Mus spretus wood Apodemus sylvaticus, large overlap in only small differences preferences. Although both live almost every garrigue are more abundant transitory humandisturbed areas, A. sylvaticus was higher abundance holm oak coppices, while M. low scrubland shrub oaks or thorny broom thickets. high level resulted many co-occurrences, always than mouse. When mice were experimentally introduced as an attractor low-suitability habitat, they surprisingly attract...
