Nest losses of cavity nesting birds caused by dormice (Gliridae, Rodentia)

Original language description

Mammals are common predators on bird nests. However, their species identity frequently remains unknown. Here we present long-term data (1975-2005) from a central European woodland on the predatory effect of three dormice species (Rodentia, Gliridae) on cavity-nesting birds. Dormice are mostly frugivorous during the active late-summer season, but shortly after they terminate hibernation, they frequently depredate cavity-nesting-bird nests. The seven bird species studied, lost on average between 2.9 to 18.4% of their broods. Migratory Ficedula flycatchers suffered the highest brood losses, while the resident Parus titmice and the nuthatch Sitta europaea (Linnaeus, 1758) had much lower brood losses. The three dormice species differed significantly in their predatory effect during different avian breeding stages. The edible dormouse Glis glis (Linnaeus, 1766) depredated both eggs and nestlings equally, while the common dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius (Linnaeus, 1758) and forest dormouse
