Description:

Of 2526 small mammals, twenty-nine common dormice, Muscardinus avellanarius (Linnaeus, 1758), were caught in Gorce National Park from 1981 till 1983. It was ascertained that average body and skull measurements of M. avellanarius fron the Gorce were greater than those of animals from other Polish populations. The average body weight of mature females was 19.5 g and was significantly higher than the body weight of mature males (16.0 g), whereas a male hindfoot was significantly longer (17.0 mm) than a female hindfoot (15.8 mm).
