Distribution of the black-striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) was studied in the south-western edge of the species European range, based on data from trappings and other records from nothern Bohemia. Altogether, 30 squares of the Central-European Mapping Grid System were included in this study.…

The bat assemblages of peat bogs in the Šumava Mts. were studied from 1989 to 1997. Changes of the composition of bat assemblages, which included Myotis mystacinus, M. brandti, M. daubentoni, Vespertilio murinus, Eptesicus nilssoni, Nyctalus leisleri and Plecotus auritus, were dependent on…

Research on small terrestrial mammals was carried out in different localities, some of them under statute of the nature reserve (Balinka valley, Rasuveň, Mrázkova loučka meadow) and remaining considered to be applied for (Dědkovská hora hill, Zátoky). The small mammal communities found were of…

In this paper 19 present records of Vespertilio murinus in eastern Bohemia are described. Only three findings were reported from the south part of this region. The average altitude of the localities was 595 m a. s. l., a half of this localities was situated in 400–620 m a. s. l.

Dormice were found in prey remnants of seven owl species in Slovakia: Asio otus and Athene noctua (1% dominance). The prey of A. otus, A. noctua, and T. alba comprises mostly Muscardinus avellanarius, however, only in lower altitudes (up to 300 m a. s. l.). In the diet of A. funereus from the…

Fauna of small terrestrial mammals in the Horní Poohří region (western Bohemia, Czech Republic) was studied by the analysis of barn owl pellets. With the exception of a single locality sampled in 1963, the material from the other 25 localities was collected between July 1978 and February 1980. The…

In the Horšovský Týn State Castle (SW Bohemia) a flat skin of the “white” tiger is preserved. Judging from its size, it originated from an adult male. This animal was shot (the skin shows round penetration after bullets in the groin and in the neck) probably between the World War I and II (1926 ?)…

The results of faunistic investigations of the small terrestrial mammals, in the area of southwestern Moravia in 1993–1997, are reported in the present paper. Totally, 2306 individuals of 16 species mammals were captured in 40 localities within 35 quadrats of the standard grid maps of the KFME…

Species dominance, constancy, and diversity of the community of small mammals from a small area situated near the town of Česká Kamenice in northern Bohemia, Czech Republic (50° 49’ N; 14° 23’ E), is reported based on results of trappings and accidental observations. Altogether, 770 individuals…

Current knowledge of the distribution of insectivores and rodents in Moravian Karst (central Moravia, Czech Republic) is summarized and evaluated, based on results of own trappings, analyses of the content of owl pellets, and recently published data. In trappings, a sample comprising 1668…

The actual area of rearing of hog deer (Axis porcinus) in the last century was the town of Litvínov, not the village of Mníšek (Krušné hory Mts.). The mistake was caused by incorrect location of the stream “Poustevnický potok”.

The northern bat, Eptesicus nilssonii (Keyserling et Blasius, 1839), occurs mainly in the northern, central and eastern parts of Europe. Individual records were reported also from western and southwestern Germany, Switzerland, and eastern France (e. g. Moeschler et al. 1986, Hommay et al. 1989,…

A total of 43 355 specimens of free-living foxes were examined for the parasite Sarcoptes scabiei between 1981–1996. Altogether, 741 specimens were diagnosed as mangy. The weight, sex, date of catching, localization, type of skin changes and behaviour before catching were evaluated. The sarcoptic…

The occurrence of Pipistrellus nathusii was recorded by netting in a site at the Věžický pond, near the village of Krčkovice. Altogether, four individuals were netted in 1993 to 1995. A finding of a delivering female in a colony mixed with P. pipistrellus evidenced the reproduction of P. nathusii in…

The first list of students theses in mammalogy defended at the Faculty of Science in Brno was published in this journal by Gaisler & Zukal (1989). In this report the additional list is presented concerning theses defended in 1989 to 1997 and one defended earlier but omitted in the previous list. On…

The professional career of Professor Jaroslav Pelikán in the research of mammalian biology is briefly summarized, with an emphasis to his scientific echievements in the field of population ecology of small mammals. A bibliography of Jaroslav pelikán’s mammalogical publications is attached.
