Where such works impact on European Protected Species in the UK, such as hazel dormice (Muscardinus avellanarius), mitigation is required to satisfy the relevant Statutory Nature Conservation Organisation licensing process. The study described here concerns the removal of dense road verge landscape planting occupied by hazel dormice prior to the construction of a new road junction and slip roads on a dual carriageway in Wales. Pre-construction monitoring started in May 2007, followed by vegetation clearance between August and September. Dormice were displaced into retained habitat through maximum daily vegetation clearance of 30 m lengths (varying widths), in parallel with translocation. This process resulted in the discovery of 48 natural (i.e. not within a nest box) dormouse nests, and the capture of 29 dormice for translocation; 90% were successfully released. Whilst within soft-release cages prior to release, dormice preferred a diet of blackberries (Rubus fruticosus agg.) and freshly picked hazel (Corylus avellana) nuts, prompting a recommendation for early Autumn (mid-August – September) as the ideal translocation season. Other recommendations for displacing and translocating dormice are provided, albeit limited in the absence of comprehensive pre-construction, and post-translocation monitoring.","PeriodicalId":105794,"journal":{"name":"Mammal Communications","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131485483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three records of fossil grey whale bones were known previously from Cornwall and Devon in the 18th and 19th centuries. Morphological identification to species of cetacean remains from palaeontological and archaeological sites is problematic, because the bones are often fragmentary or have been modified by humans. The application of ancient DNA analysis and collagen fingerprinting (ZooMS) allows the identification of fragmentary and modified cetacean bone to species and/or generic level, thus offering new opportunities to understand the exploitation of cetaceans by human coastal communities. Analyses of cetacean bone from Orkney and Shetland have identified for the first time the presence of grey whale at archaeological sites in Scotland, extending the geographical range of records in Britain. These findings confirm for the first time that the seas around Scotland were part of the range of the grey whale in the eastern North Atlantic, thereby linking records of this species (from southern Scandinavia, the Northern Isles of and southwest Britain, the southern North Sea and Netherlands, to the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco) over a similar latitudinal range that the species still occupies in the Pacific Ocean.","PeriodicalId":105794,"journal":{"name":"Mammal Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130629416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
