Mammal Society dormouse survey, January 1975‐April 1979
View through CrossRef
ABSTRACTThe dormouse survey was initiated by the Mammal Society and ran from January 1975 to April 1979. The dormouse is very much a southern mammal in Britain with a reduced range compared to that found 100 years ago. There seems to have been a decline in population and possible reasons for this are discussed. The habitat favoured by dormice is considered; a thick secondary layer is very important with bramble forming a major component. Dormouse nests are most often found in bramble at an average height of just over a metre from the ground. Dormouse requirements, particularly for scrub, should be considered when areas for wildlife conservation are being managed.
