Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “Tattersall et al. (2001) found that blocks of set-aside were used by wood mice Apodemus sylvaticus with strips adjacent to margins being avoided, possibly due to the increased risk of predation.”
Effects of tillage and irrigation in cereal fields on weed seed removal by seed predators (2009, background): “Rodents resort to vegetated field margins to avoid disturbances and bare soil (Tattersall et al. 2001) or use field margins as a permanent habitat while foraging in crop fields.”
Local habitat and landscape affect Ixodes ricinus tick abundances in forests on poor, sandy soils (2012, background): “Wood mouse, on the other hand, is a habitat generalist which also uses open habitats (Hansson, 1978; Tattersall et al., 2001) and thrives in situations where forests meet open land (García et al., 1998; Geuse et al., 1985; Tellería et al., 1991).”
Are hedgerows the route to increased farmland small mammal density? Use of hedgerows in British pastoral habitats (2007, background): “In arable environments wood mice (but no other small mammal species) have been shown to make substantial use of the field at certain times of the year (Tattersall et al. 2001; Tew et al. 2000; Todd et al. 2000).”
