A hibernating #dormouse was rescued after being found fast asleep in an old helium balloon caught in a tree. The dozy dormouse was returned to a safer habitat to continue its snooze.
The risk of #litter, like this balloon, includes entanglement and injury.
"#nature reserves are managed so that dormice have safe places to sleep and won't miss this balloon.
"Litter is an ongoing threat and it's examples like this that remind us to keep taking action."

#Climate and land-use change are driving global #biodiversity declines, impacting species’ distributions, behaviours, and physiology. The hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) is highly sensitive to environmental change, yet little is known about how #climatechange and land-use change influence its body mass.

Britain’s hazel dormice are getting lighter in spring but fatter in autumn as our #climate changes.
“Findings show that #climatechange is affecting dormice in complex ways.Smaller body sizes may help them cope with warmer temperatures,while increased summer temperatures/rainfall can provide a short-term boost in feeding opportunities before hibernation,but extreme weather patterns are likely to have negative impacts

#Wikipedia - #HazelTrees! Another tree that is found in many locations in the Northern Hemisphere!
Excerpt: "Corylus has around 14–18 species. The circumscription of species in eastern Asia is disputed, with World Flora Online and the Flora of China differing in which taxa are accepted, within this region. WFO accepts 17 species while Flora of China accepts 20 species (including Corylus mandshurica).
Only those taxa accepted by both sources are listed below.
The species are grouped as follows:
Nut surrounded by a soft, leafy involucre, multiple-stemmed, suckering shrubs to 12 m tall
Involucre short, about the same length as the nut
- Corylus americana – American hazel, eastern North America
- Corylus avellana – Common hazel, Europe and western Asia
- Corylus heterophylla – Asian hazel, Asia
- Corylus yunnanensis – Yunnan hazel, central and southern China
Involucre long, twice the length of the nut or more, forming a 'beak'
- Corylus colchica – Colchican filbert, Caucasus
- Corylus cornuta – Beaked hazel, North America
- Corylus maxima – Filbert, southeastern Europe and southwest Asia
- Corylus sieboldiana – Asian beaked hazel, northeastern Asia and Japan (syn. C. mandshurica)
Nut surrounded by a stiff, spiny involucre, single-stemmed trees to 20–35 m tall
Involucre moderately spiny and also with glandular hairs
- Corylus chinensis – Chinese hazel, western China
- Corylus colurna – Turkish hazel, southeastern Europe and Asia Minor
- Corylus fargesii – Farges' hazel, western China
- Corylus jacquemontii – Jacquemont's hazel, Himalaya
- Corylus wangii – Wang's hazel, southwest China
Involucre densely spiny, resembling a chestnut burr
- Corylus ferox – Himalayan hazel, Himalaya, Tibet and southwest China (syn. C. tibetica)."Several hybrids exist, and they can occur between species in different sections of the genus, e.g. Corylus × colurnoides (C. avellana × C. colurna). The oldest confirmed hazel species is Corylus johnsonii found as fossils in the Ypresian-age rocks of Ferry County, Washington.
"Chilean hazel (Gevuina avellana), despite its name, is not related to this genus.
Ecology
"At least 21 species of #fungus have a #mutualistic relationship with hazel. Lactarius pyrogalus grows almost exclusively on hazel, and hazel is one of two kinds of host for the rare Hypocreopsis rhododendri. Several rare species of Graphidion lichen depend on hazel trees. In the UK, five species of moth are specialised to feed on hazel including Parornix devoniella. Animals which eat hazelnuts include #RedDeer, #dormouse and #RedSquirrel.
Uses
"The nuts of all hazels are edible. The common hazel is the species most extensively grown for its nuts, followed in importance by the #filbert. Nuts are also harvested from the other species, but apart from the filbert, none is of significant commercial importance.
"A number of cultivars of the common hazel and filbert are grown as ornamental plants in gardens, including forms with contorted stems (C. avellana 'Contorta', popularly known as "Corkscrew hazel" or "Harry Lauder's walking stick" from its gnarled appearance); with weeping branches (C. avellana 'Pendula'); and with purple leaves (C. maxima 'Purpurea').
"Hazel is a traditional material used for making #wattle, withy #fencing, #baskets, and the frames of #Coracleboats. The tree can be coppiced, and regenerating shoots allow for harvests every few years. There is a seven-year cycle (cut and grow) for hurdle (fence) making.
"Hazels are used as food plants by the larvae of various species of #Lepidoptera including Eriocrania chrysolepidella.
Culture
"The #Celts believed hazelnuts gave one wisdom and inspiration. There are numerous variations on an ancient tale that nine hazel trees grew around a sacred pool, dropping into the water nuts that were eaten by salmon (a fish sacred to #Druids), which absorbed the wisdom. A Druid teacher, in his bid to become omniscient, caught one of these special salmon and asked a student to cook the fish, but not to eat it. While he was cooking it, a blister formed and the pupil used his thumb to burst it, which he naturally sucked to cool, thereby absorbing the fish's wisdom. This boy was called #FionnMacCumhail (Fin McCool) and went on to become one of the most heroic leaders in Gaelic mythology.
" 'The #HazelBranch' from #Grimms' Fairy Tales claims that hazel branches offer the greatest protection from snakes and other things that creep on the earth. In the Grimm tale '#Cinderella', a hazel branch is planted by the protagonist at her mother's grave and grows into a tree that is the site where the girl's wishes are granted by birds."

ENCOURAGING signs of #dormouse activity have been recorded in the restored woodland at Pentre Ifan, North Pembrokeshire, as part of a new #wildlife monitoring project.
The #hazeldormouse is one of the UK’s most threatened native mammals, listed as Vulnerable on the Mammal Society’s Red List. Populations have fallen by more than 70% since 2000, largely due to #habitatloss and fragmentation.

The rodents' presence was confirmed when their distinctive triangular footprints were found in tunnels laid down to track their movements.
The tiny nocturnal species has already disappeared from 20 counties in #England since the 19th Century.
#Climatechange has also disrupted their hibernation patterns.

Bis heute Abend 23 Uhr sind die Kameras noch online. Nutzt die Gelegenheit und schaut nochmal vorbei: -
Zum Start des Wintersemesters soll der neue Raum der Stille für Studierende und Beschäftigte der Uni Hohenheim geöffnet werden. Doch es könnte zu einer Verzögerung kommen. Denn gerade hat ein etwas anderer Campusbewohner den gemütlichen Rückzugsort für sich entdeckt: ein #Siebenschläfer.

The summer has been a "bumper" breeding season for dormice in #Hampshire conservationists have said.
Volunteers from the Hampshire Dormice Group, who have been carrying out surveys to monitor the tiny mammal, said the warm, dry summer had allowed them more time to breed.

Wer seinen #Garten "schlafmausfreundlich" gestalten möchte, sollte diese Punkte beachten:
-insektenfreundliche Bepflanzung mit heimischen Arten
-sichere Wasserstelle
-Nistmöglichkeiten
-Lebensraumvernetzung (Anbindung an benachbarte Lebensräume)
-Verzicht auf Pestizide
-Sicherung von Regentonnen
-Nisthilfen und Wasserschalen an sicheren Orten
Je naturbelassener/abwechslungsreicher ein Garten ist, desto besser für die Schlafmaus.

Anna macht sich heute zusammen mit Sven auf die Suche nach der seltenen Haselmaus. Dabei lernt sie schnell: Wer Haselmäuse finden will, der muss nach Haselnüssen suchen. Und zwar nach leergeknabberten mit einem kreisrunden Loch.

Die einstelligen Nacht-Temperaturen in dieser Woche sind schon fast so niedrig, dass sie den #Winterschlaf auslösen könnten. Es ist allerdings eine Kombination aus Temperatur, Licht, einer innerer Uhr, Nahrungsangebot und vorhandener Fettreserve, die den Winterschlaf letztendlich auslösen werden. Und die Jungen haben bisher noch nicht genügend Winterspeck.

Meet Roach’s mouse-tailed dormouse: https://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.

Die Jungen aus #Webcam 1 haben gestern Abend ihre ersten Ausflüge nach draußen gemacht! Man hat ihnen ihre Unsicherheit anmerken können. Und sobald die Mutter gegen 23h wieder im Nistkasten war (wegen Regen), wurde sie regelrecht „überfallen“. So eine Zitze ist halt sicherer als „die Welt da draußen“.
Aktuell sind sie wieder richtig "außer Rand und Band"und üben fleißig das klettern im Kasten.
Schaut doch selbst mal vorbei:

#Garten- und Waldbesitzer*innen aufgepasst: Aufgrund ihrer hohen Lebensraumansprüche und ihrer Vorliebe für besonders struktur- und artenreiche Flächen sind #Siebenschläfer in ihrer Existenz bedroht. Doch jede einzelne Maßnahme zum Schutz von Haselmaus, Sieben-, Garten- und Baumschläfer kommt auch vielen anderen heimischen Arten zugute.

#Siebenschläfer brauchen alte Hochstamm-Streuobstwiesen für Höhlen, Nahrung und Nachwuchs. Neue Plantagenbäume oder gespritzte Plantagen bieten keinen Lebensraum!
Unterstütze die kleinen Kobolde der Nacht: kaufe regionales #Obst und pflege #Streuobstwiesen.

Hazel dormice are a native #rodent to the #UK and are the only one with a distinctive furry tail, and while they can live in many habitats, they favour #woodlands and #hedgerows.
However, the #dormouse population has declined by 70% nationally since 2000, and the species is now extinct in 20 English counties, according to a 2023 report.

Der #Gartenschläfer und der #Siebenschläfer gehören beide der Artengruppe der Bilche an. Der Gartenschläfer hat über ein Drittel seines Lebensraums verloren. Durch das #Insektensterben findet der kleine #Bilch nicht genug Nahrung.
An Giften wie #Rattengift oder #Schneckenkorn können Gartenschläfer direkt sterben. Andere #Pestizide reichern sich in Fettdepots an. Im Winterschlaf werden diese dann konzentriert freigesetzt und die Tiere sterben im Schlaf daran

Paignton Zoo teamed up with #wildlife charity People’s Trust for Endangered Species (#PTES) and other partners to release 38 hazel dormice into a woodland at National Trust’s Calke Abbey, #Derbyshire, in an attempt to save this endangered species from extinction in the #UK.

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.

Welttag des Artenschutzes: #Gartenschläfer in Not
#Pestizide gehören zu den wesentlichen Ursachen für das Verschwinden des Gartenschläfers.Pestizide bedingen #Insektensterben. Dadurch fehlt Gartenschläfern Nahrung. Mit #Insekten nehmen sie außerdem das #Gift auf, das sich dann im Fettgewebe anlagert.
Zusätzlich droht ihnen #Rattengift.
Zahlreiche Arten gehören geschützt, dem Gartenschläfer widmet sich dafür das Projekt “Spurensuche Gartenschläfer”
