Abundance and species diversity of small mammals on beaver lodges
In these three habitats, small mammals of four species were caught: Sorex minutus, Apodemus flavicollis, Clethrionomys glareolus, Microtus arvalis, and the total average RA for small mammal community (10.2 ind./100 trap-days in the forest) was less than on beaver lodges. Despite the high number of r...
