Abstract:
Population density of shrews in a clearing in the submountain spruce forest was established per 1 hectare 17.5 individuals of common shrew, 4.6 of pygmy shrew and 1.1 of alpin shrew. The mean radius of activity in common shrew amounts to 13 m. The ratio of shrew to rodents was 1:3 or 1:2 in summer and autum respectively. Theoretical home range reached 532 m2. The importance of home range studies for synecological studies and theory of natural focality was demonstrated.
