Abstract

Garden dormice (Eliomys quercinus L.) were investigated in 1993 and from 1995 to 1997 by trapping and radio tracking in a nature reserve (Petite Camargue Alsacienne, Alsace) in France. The number of captured animals was 463, 118 were trapped for the first time, 345 animals were recaptured. Normal seasonal activity of the population was from April to October in 1993. Newborn animals entered the population in 1993, 1995 and 1996 only in July. Radio tracking results showed a correlation of activity and sun rhythm, a behaviour which is already described for edible dormouse and hazel dormouse.
