Abstract

Fourteen papers review the ecology of the three rodent species commonly found in woodland throughout Britain and Europe: the bank vole ( Clethrionomys glareolus ), the wood mouse ( Apodemus sylvaticus ), and the yellow-necked mouse ( A. flavicollis ). The specialist authors explore current knowledge and questions for the future, and comparisons are made with ecologically equivalent species elsewhere.
