	Woodmouse
		The wood mouse does not have the distinctive odour associated with the house mouse.
		Wood mice are primarily seed eaters (granivores), relying to a great extent on the seeds of trees such as oak, beech, ash, lime, hawthorn and sycamore.
		Although it is not aggressive towards the wood mouse, it is avoided by this smaller, less dominant animal and, within a shared area of woodland, the two species may rarely meet.

	Wood mouse - Apodemus sylvaticus: More Information - ARKive
		The wood mouse is the most common native rodent in Britain (2).
		Wood mice are generally nocturnal, but males, or females suckling young may be active for short times during the day (4).
		This species has many predators, including foxes, weasels, cats, owls and kestrels (4); the wood mouse has evolved a number of strategies to avoid these predators, it can make impressive leaps to safety, and can shed the skin of the tail if it is gripped anywhere other than its base, allowing the mouse to escape.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Way-marking behaviour: an aid to spatial navigation in the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus)
		In the case of the wood mice, the problem of navigation would seem, to a human observer, to be particularly challenging because their relatively huge home ranges encompass environments – for example, expanses of ploughed fields or uniform cereal crops – that seem particularly homogeneous.
		The reality of temporal shifts in the ecology of wood mice is illustrated dramatically by the impact of harvest on the dispersions of both their food and of predatory risk [7].
		When the mouse finally left that place of temporary interest the disc would be left behind, but once the mouse started to investigate a new place it might return to the original disc, or to any other, and transfer it to the new place of temporary interest.

	Wood mouse - Apodemus sylvaticus - ARKive
		The wood mouse is the most common native rodent in Britain.
		The alternative common name of this species is the long-tailed field mouse, as the tail is often roughly the same size as the combined head and body length.
		This species can be distinguished from the similar yellow-necked mouse as it lacks a yellow collar that forms a bib on the chest.

	Wood Mouse by Lily (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The wood mouse's storage room is close to it's home, and there is often a tunnel connecting the mouse's bedroom to its storage room.
		The wood mouse's body is especially adapted to get food because they have food pouches in their cheeks, in which it can bring more food home than if it could only hold one piece in between its teeth.
		One is the wood mouse's fuzzy-like fur, which is not the best for keeping warm, but will keep the wood mouse fairly warm in cold weather.

		The wood mouse, also known as the long tailed field mouse, is a prolific and adaptable creature.
		The wood mouse is a shy creature that is easily disturbed by man. When wood mice are nervous they often wash and groom themselves.

		Wood mice are important prey items for tawny owls and when numbers of woodland rodents are low owl breeding may not take place.
		Wood mice have no legal protection and conservation does not seem necessary as recolonisation after mortality is often rapid.
		Wood mice can be beneficial to man by preying on harmful insects and many trees and shrubs germinate from forgotten wood mouse food stores.

	Wood Mouse
		The wood mouse, also known as the long-tailed field mouse, though rarely seen as it is nocturnal, is probably Britain's most numerous mammal.
		A close relative of the wood mouse is the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) which looks like a large, sandy-coloured wood mouse with a distinct yellow collar; it occurs only in the south of Britain & Wales and is much rarer than the wood mouse.
		Wood mice often live in gardens, in or near sheds and outbuildings and are sometimes mistaken for house mice.

		The relation between wood mouse and oak was not yet intensively studied in contrast to the relation between jay and oak.
		We expected wood mice to prefer large acorn sizes because of the trade off between costs of hoarding and benefits of retrieved acorns.
		Wood mice contribute to the dispersal and regeneration of oak by dispersing acorns away from the parent tree and hoarding acorns at optimal germination depths.

	The Mammal Society: Yellow Necked Mice
		In central Europe the Yellow-necked Mouse tends to be restricted to montane areas (Müller, 1972; Saints Girons, 1973) and it is absent from much of the lowland in the west of the continent.
		The mean abundance of all three species for all woods, woods where Yellow-necked Mice were present, and woods where Yellow-necked Mice were absent, is shown in Table 3.
		However, it is the structure of Wood Mouse populations in woods with and without Yellow-necked Mice that is of particular importance to understanding possible consequences of sympatric living.

		The study of wood mouse was carried out in the forest of Oostereng, near Wageningen in the Netherlands.
		I examined how to mark acorn (Quercus robur) in a way that wood mouse would remove and disperse the acorns from the seed plot and that retrieval of the marked acorns was possible.
		The aim of this study of wood mouse was also to examine the role of seed size in the dispersal of oak by wood mouse, but unfortunately I couldn't collect enough data during my fieldwork to test my hypothesis.

	Roadsigns for rodents
		Wood mice, say scientists, move objects from their environment around using them as portable signposts whilst they explore.
		When a mouse found an area it was interested in, it would collect a white disc and move it there.
		Once the mouse had finished searching a particular area and identified a new point of interest, it would pick up the disc, move it to the new area and repeat the exploration, again using the disc for orientation.

		Origin of an insular population of the wood mouse based on parasitological evidence -- Wilson et al.
		Parasitological data were used to test the hypothesis that the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) population of Fair Isle, Shetland, originated from the British Isles rather than Scandinavia, as is usually argued.
		The ecto- and endo-parasites of wood mice on Fair Isle between 18 June to 10 July 1987 and 17 to 26 August 1991 were identified and compared with those reported from conspecifics in the two putative source areas.

	Biochemical Effect Evaluation of Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid-Contaminated Wood Mice (Apodemus sylvaticus)
		Wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) were captured at Blokkersdijk, a nature reserve in the immediate vicinity of a fluorochemical plant in Antwerp, Belgium, and at Galgenweel, 3 kilometers farther away.
		In the presented study, the theoretical risk quotients for wood mice (defined as the ratio of their hepatic PFOS concentration and the environmental toxicity value) exceed the value of 1 for all wood mice analyzed, suggesting that there might be a toxicologic risk associated with PFOS exposure in these animals.
		This study shows that wood mice living in proximity to a fluorochemical plant in Antwerp are heavily contaminated with PFOS and to a lesser extent with perfluorocarboxylates.
