Description:

To characterize the migrants of Mus musculus Linnaeus, 1758 we examined population in an outdoor enclosure and in the areas surrounding it (lawns with shrubs, gardens, crop fields, buildings). Mice had the possibility to go out of the enclosure and to move between its different parts. The animals were caught in live traps and then they were marked and releasednin the place of capture (except for the mice caught inside the buildings; they were removed). Among mice living in the enclosure two groups of migrants were distinguished: inside and outside the enclosure. The possible reasons of the differences in the characteristic of migrants were discussed.
