Features daily activity of small rodents in the forest and open habitats in Belarus

Abstract

Assessed daily activity of small rodents in forest habitats and open grass in warm and cold periods. Determined that they are active in almost all hours, but there are some intervals with a little more activity. Voles in the warm season more active during daylight, and in the cold season - at dusk and at night, kind of mouse Apodemus - in the dark, and vole genus Microtus-day. Distribution of such things daily activity species of small rodents allows little conflict related to the same residences, primarily for food.
