abstract |
This is
a republication of the methodological review originally
published in 1957, which has been important for
the organization of local and regional studies of
the mammal fauna, particularly in the identification
of species composition and estimates of the relative
abundance of small (mouse-like) rodents. The present
publication is accompanied by an editorial foreword
and contains seven chapters. The first three are
titled ‘Rodents as objects of census and monitoring,’
‘Census of rodents and its components,’ and ‘Census
of rodents in the field with attention to relative
and absolute census.’ The section on relative census
includes such topics as ‘Census by biological indicators,’
‘Census by analysis of pellets and excrements of
predators of mice,’ ‘Census by counting burrows
(holes),’ and ‘Cenus on trap lines.’ The section
on absolute census includes parts such as ‘Census
by complete excavation of burrows and complete capture
of their population’ and ‘Census of rodents in various
kinds of haystack.’ The other sections are ‘Census
of forest-dwelling rodents,’ ‘Census of rats and
mice in human settlements’ (includes three parts:
the method of dusty areas, the method of trial bait,
and the method of almost complete capture), ‘Methods
of combating certain species of harmful rodents’
(abridged), ‘Controlling methods of some species
of harmful rodents’ (abridged), and ‘Collection
and transfer to specialists of rodent materials
for scientific purposes.’ |
