Ekologija japanskog puha, Glirulus japonicus

Different places of hibernation of Glirulus japonicus were monitored. The home range of a male was larger than that of a female, and they overlapped. The adult female remains in her home range for several years and has litters, while the young female moves from the mother\u27s home range. The Japanese dormouse eats bark, pollen and insects. It sometimes saved food as food-cache in autumn.Different places of hibernation of Glirulus japonicus were monitored. The home range of a male was larger than that of a female, and they overlapped.

Physical and behavioural development of the Japanese dormouse, <em>Glirulus japonicus</em>

<strong>Abstract</strong> The Japanese dormouse, <em>Glirulus japonicus</em>, is an arboreal, nocturnal hibernating rodent endemic to Japan. Shimoizumi described the hibernation (1939, 1940, 1943) and food (1933) of the Japanese dormouse, but there is otherwise very little information about the biology of this species. The present author performed extensive studies of reproduction in captive Japanese dormice. The physical and behavioural development, and the relationship between hibernation and ontogeny, as well as maternal care will be described here. <strong>Riassunto</strong> <strong>Sviluppo fisico e comportamentale del Ghiro giapponese <em>Glirulus japonicus</em></strong> - Il ghiro giapponese, <em>Glirulus japonicus</em>, è un roditore arboreo, notturno e ibernante endemico del Giappone. Shimoizumi ha fornito dati sul letargo (1939, 1940, 1943) e sull'alimentazione (1933) del ghiro del Giappone. Tuttavia le informazioni sulla biologia di questa specie sono scarse. L'autore ha condotto ampi studi sulla riproduzione in cattività del ghiro giapponese. Nel presente lavoro verranno descritti lo sviluppo fisico e comportamentale, la relazione tra letargo e ontogenesi e le cure parentali
