Yes, they have been marked and released. We use plastic bags for hygenic reasons. Mice are fine :)

There was a large seed crop of oaks in #Białowieża #Forest last year. As a consequence, #rodents got so much abundant that we find up to a few individuals in a sherman trap during our long-term monitoring. How do they even manage to do that!

An edible dormouse (Glis glis) enjoys being released 🐿️ However, somehow, this arboreal species has been captured on the forest floor quite often on our study sites.

Tracking the beech and stone pine seeds in the Swiss Alps has just begun! We want to test how animal-mediated seed dispersal affects range shifts of European beech in mountains. It's the first season of my new project funded by @ncn.gov.pl (see: projekty.ncn.gov.pl/opisy/603883...)
