  1. #Climatechange is directly and indirectly affecting species.The degree of these effect types differs by species and context,with indirect effects likely to be stronger for consumers of pulsed resources.Here,we investigated how higher mean air temperature related to climate change affects masting,and in parallel,how this change affects life-history traits in edible #dormice.The changed cycle in mast events resulted in a significant reduction in overall yearling survival

  2. Meet Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse: thehabitatfoundation.org/news

    One of Europe’s rarest mammals comes to Topolovgrad on October 18. On that day, The Habitat Foundation will be at the Imperial Eagle festival and present Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse. Topolovgrad lies in the heart of Sakar, the only region where a healthy population of this dormouse still lives.

  3. A rare hazel #dormouse has been captured on camera foraging for food at Longleat Safari Park in #Wiltshire.

    The #UK population of #dormice has plunged in recent years due to habitat loss, but the majority of the woodland at #Longleat is managed to preserve it for wild creatures.

  5. Lots of #animals hibernate. #Hedgehogs hunker down, #dormice curl up in a ball, and #bats take to their roosts. #Hibernation occurs when animals enter a state of almost total inactivity during the winter months.
    Some animals rouse themselves from hibernation for a quick snack and a toilet break, before returning to their bed. This helps the animals to keep their strength up and get rid of any waste that would otherwise soil their ‘bed’.

  6. Using cameras placed high in the canopy, scientists discovered that red #squirrels tend to prefer coniferous forests, while #dormice are more commonly found in beech forests. However, in mixed forests that include both tree types, both species were observed living side by side. This suggests that mixed #forests could play an important role in supporting #biodiversity.

  9. @riversidebryan Wonderful. Hope the rope bridge works well for the dormice! 🥹🥰🐹💕

    What also helps them to thrive is for the dog walkers to keep their dogs on leash in those areas, I’ve read in another article about #dormice.

  10. Very sad, an ancient hedgerow at Yew Tree Farm, Bristol was destroyed shortly after the Avon Wildlife Trust called for a Dormouse survey due tot he presence of Dormice (a protected species here in the UK) nearby. I hope they don't get away with this, but they probably will.

  11. 30 years on and a reintroduced population of Hazel Dormice are doing well in Cambridgeshire. And now seven new mice are being added to improve the genetic diversity of the population.

  12. Can you imagine a #WorldWithoutNature? We certainly can’t!

    But there is solution: the law to #RestoreNature!
    We need EU countries to commit to restoring at least 20% of 🇪🇺 land and sea areas by 2030. 💪
