Abstract

Feeding habits of field mice Apodemus flavicollis Melchior, 1834 and A. sylvaticus Linnaeus, 1758, and bank voles Clethrionomys glareolus , Schreber, 1780 in a mixed farmland area in Northern Germany were investigated from March to December 1992. For semi-quantitative analysis of diet composition, feaces were sampled in the margins of an arable field surrounded by hedgerows.
