  6. 20. Abundance and diversity of small mammals in Swedish beaver systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Felicitas Glabischnig; [2015]
    Keywords : small mammals; beaver; Castor fiber; habitat heterogeneity; ecosystem engineer; biodiversity; bank vole; Myodes glareolus; wetlands;

    Abstract : Through their ecosystem engineering activities, beavers (Castor fiber ) create ponds and riparian zones littered with deadwood, providing hetero- geneous micro-habitats for a variety of small mammal species. In this study small mammals were snap-trapped in nine beaver systems and four reference wetland systems that were not created by beavers in southern and central Sweden to compare abundance and diversity of voles, shrews and mice.
