On the ecology of striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius Pall., 1771) in forest-steppes of the chernozem zone: 1. Abundance

It is confirmed that the abundance of Apodemus agrarius mice in Lipetsk oblast has a long-term positive trend, directly correlating with the amount of precipitation in March (in the current and previous years) and inversely correlating with August precipitation. The range of favorable temperature an...

Description
Summary:It is confirmed that the abundance of Apodemus agrarius mice in Lipetsk oblast has a long-term positive trend, directly correlating with the amount of precipitation in March (in the current and previous years) and inversely correlating with August precipitation. The range of favorable temperature and precipitation conditions providing a high probability for the species to reach high abundance has been estimated.
