Abstract:

Abundance, food-searching intensity, physiological status, and population attributes of wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) were studied in forest islands of central Spain. Seventeen isolated woodlots (Quercus rotundifolia) ranging from 0.1 to 280 ha were studied. The results show high densities of mice and high rates of predation on acorns in the smaller forests.
