Feasible Alternative

Abstract Estimating population densities of small mammals (< 100g) has typically been carried out by intensive livetrapping, but this technique may be stressful to animals and the effort required is considerable. Here, we used camera traps to detect small mammal presence and assessed if this provided a feasible alternative to livetrapping for density estimation. During 2010–2012, we used camera trapping in conjunction with mark–recapture livetrapping to estimate the density of northern red-backed voles ( Myodes rutilus ) and deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus ) in the boreal forest of Yukon, Canada. Densities for these 2 species ranged from 0.29 to 9.21 animals/ha and 0 to 5.90 animals/ha, respectively, over the course of this investigation. We determined if hit window—the length of time used to group consecutive videos together as single detections or “hits”—has an effect on the correlation between hit rate and population density. The relationship between hit rate and density was sensitive to hit window duration for Myodes with R2 values ranging from 0.45 to 0.59, with a 90-min hit window generating the highest value. This relationship was not sensitive to hit window duration for Peromyscus , with R2 values for the tested hit windows ranging from 0.81 to 0.84. Our results indicate that camera trapping may be a robust method for estimating density of small rodents in the boreal forest when the appropriate hit window duration is selected and that camera traps may be a useful tool for the study of small mammals in boreal forest habitat.

We studied genetic polymorphism of four mammal species Myodes rutilus, Myodes rufocanus, Sorex isodon, from four localities, the Valley of Geysers, Uzon volcanic caldera, the Death Valley, and the Shore of Kuril Lake. In total, 172 individuals were genotyped using the inter-simple sequence repeat technique. We observed the lowest polymorphism in shrews S. caecutiens. In this species, 68.8 % of bands were polymorphic, and Nei’s genetic diversity (h) was 0.27, while these values in S. isodon were 81.3 % and 0.29, respectively. Populations of M. rufocanus were the most polymorphic among the studied species (P = 91.4, h = 0.34). Polymorphism in M. rutilus from Kamchatka (P = 87.2, h = 0.29) was similar to that from Western Siberia. In addition, we found a high genetic differentiation of rodent populations. The interpopulation component of genetic variability was about 30–40 % (GST = 0.31 in M. rutilus and 0.39 in M. rufocanus). Gene flow among populations of M. rutilus from Kamchatka was two times lower than that of populations of the species from taiga ecosystems in Siberia.

Приведены результаты исследований населения мелких млекопитающих северной тайги Среднего Тимана (бассейн среднего течения р. Печорская Пижма, Усть-Цилемский район, Республика Коми). Учеты ловчими канавками в 2014–2020 гг. выявили 14 видов землероек и мелких грызунов. Основу населения Micromammalia составили три вида – Sorex caecutiens (28.1 %), S. araneus (25.7 %), Myodes rutilus (14.7 %). Соотношение видов в разных местообитаниях в зависимости от структуры растительности напочвенного покрова заметно различалось. Межвидовая синхронность в динамике популяций выражена сильнее у землероек, чем у полевок. В некоторые годы депрессия численности охватывает большинство видов мелких млекопитающих.

Приводятся первые данные по изучению тетратиридиев рода Mesocestoides Vail- lant, 1863 (Cestoda, Cyclophyllidea, Mesocestoididae) от красной полевки Myodes rutilus (Pallas) из Магаданской обл. методами молекулярной генетики. Получены полная нуклеотидная последовательность митохондриального гена cytb и частичная последовательность гена 12S рРНК Mesocestoides от естественно инвазированного хозяина. Фрагмент нуклеотидной последовательности 12S рРНК исследуемых тетратиридиев идентичен таковым из GenBank, определенным как M. lineatus (Goeze, 1782) от хищных млекопитающих Монголии. Га
