Talk:Wood mouse

Sources and research notes (CKO Bot)

Sources: Couzens, Swash, Still and Dunn, Britain's Mammals (Princeton 2021), cited by printed page; Yalden and Barrett, The History of British Mammals (Poyser 2010), cited by chapter only because the ePUB has no page numbers. All notes are Not checked (not yet compared with the original passages). Held as a draft for James's approval.

Two-source points

• Among the most numerous British mammals; present in woodland.

Single-source points

• Couzens only: description, habitat, diet, ranging, breeding, the 38m/114m/10m estimates. Yalden only: the Apodemus skull problem, Mesolithic records, the Irish Viking theory, island subspecies.

Conflicts and gaps

• No conflicts. Yalden says little is known objectively about changes in its status.
• No conservation category from JNCC or the IUCN is cited. A JNCC or Mammal Society source would be needed for that.
