Quantification of the Edible dormouse Glis glis (Linnaeus, 1766) calling activity for biodiversity surveys: comparison of core and peripheral populations

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The edible dormouse Glis glis is known to emit typical calls during the night. These calls were used in various studies for the detection of species presence or habitat occupancy as well as for quantifying abundance estimates. However, to date, we lack rigorous data on the quantification of the call activity throughout the night and within-season changes in calling activity. To fill this gap, we compared the calling activity of the edible dormouse in core and peripheral populations using voice recorders. During the summer when dormice are active, we deployed voice recorders at three sites with high dormice densities in the Czech Republic and three localities with low densities in Lithuania. We found that calling activity during night varied considerably but seasonally it peaked in August. It was lower in July and lowest in September. Rainy or windy nights significantly reduced call frequencies. Edible dormice started calling around sunset and the intensity increased within two hours, with a peak 4-6 hours after sunset. The frequency of calling decreased before sunrise. Call frequencies per hour were slightly lower in Lithuania. The duration of calls ranged from 1 to 1147 seconds and was significantly shorter at the Lithuanian sites. Our study shows that edible dormice call at a high rate even in peripheral populations and offers promising support for biodiversity surveys and acoustic monitoring.
