The development of mice and voles in an oak forest with a surplus of acorns
Abstract 130 kg of acorns of Common Oak ( Quercus robur L.) were distributed on an area of 1.44 ha in an oak forest near Zagreb (Croatia), where acorns were lacking. The influence of this surplus of food on the development of mice and voles was observed from September 1999 till February 2000 on the...
