Abstract:

This is the first report of the occurrence and distribution of fat dormouse Glis glisin Polish part of the Złote Mountains (East Sudetes). Field studies, conducted inthe years 2002–2003, included control of birds’ nesting boxes, hunters’ lookouts and forest car parks, recording the fat dormouse night calls, and searching for the traces of their activities (i.e. nests, remnants of the beech fruits, feaces). In 42 (40%) out of 105 checked birds’ nesting boxes the fat dormouse nests, and in 11 (10%) the animals were found. During the study, 29 localities of fat dormouse and a total of 50 individuals were found. Additionally, questionnaires of the forestry administrated bythe forestry management of Bardo Śląskie and Lądek-Zdrój, as well as interviews were used. Our data indicate that the Złote Mountains are one of a few areas in the Sudety Mountains, where the continuous range of the species is still preserved.
