- Title
Residents and Nonresidents: Daily Activity of Small Mammals in Contrasting Biotopes.

Kalinin, A. A.; Aleksandrov, D. Yu.
- Abstract
The daily activity of four mass species of small mammals from the forest zone of three biotopes differing greatly in their protective properties is compared using the marking method with live traps arranged in lines. Live-trap lines were established in a dark coniferous forest, on a grassy slope, and along a rocky beach along the water edge on the Ilych River. The activity of resident and nonresident individuals was assessed with a checking frequency of 1.5 h. In the forest, a polyphasic activity without pronounced maxima has been recorded for all species; on the open slope, the maximum activity of resident animals is observed at night and only nonresident animals were recorded on the bank. Nonresident activity in all biotopes is shifted to night time; in open biotopes, the period of activity is shorter and more related to night time.
