The article considers the recordings of the vocalization of Tengmalm’s owl in the Middle Volga were obtained using dictaphones. The first calls of Tengmalm’s owl were recorded 1 h 30 min after sunset. The last calls were recorded 3 h 45 min before sunrise. The longest vocalization interval was observed at night. The frequency range of male calls is 550-950 Hz. Continuous vocal activity in certain periods of the day lasted from 3 min to 27 min. Vocal activity were observed in the temperature range from -5 to +6°C. Calls were recorded at wind strength from 1 to 3 m/s, at cloud cover from 10 to 30%, at pressure from 750 to 764 mm Hg.

“…Hedgehogs are small, nocturnal and spiny-haired mammals found in synanthropic environments ( Jarosz et al 2010 , Silaghi et al 2012 , Kryštufek and Motokawa 2018 , Andreychev and Kuznetsov 2020 ). Recently, they have become popular amongst pet owners due to their potential benefits as they feed on insects, worms and other small harmful animals to vegetation.…”

Does urbanisation have an impact on the trophic ecology of the Algerian hedgehog Atelerix algirus in northern Algeria?

The Algerian hedgehog, which is an endemic Mediterranean species, is a nocturnal and terrestrial insectivorous mammal. Atelerix algirus’ populations are widespread in various habitats comprising human agglomeration, such as rural, suburban or natural ecosystems. However, the impact of the habitat’s characteristics on its diet remains unknown in Algeria. To contribute to a better understanding of this question, we have analysed 158 faeces samples of the Algerian hedgehog in three different areas: urban, suburban and natural area. The findings show that the Algerian hedgehog is an opportunistic species. It feeds on several classes of Arthropoda, but the harvester ant Messor barbarus dominates largely its menu with AR = 74.81% in the diverse habitats. Furthermore, the HAC and FCA analyses confirm the positive impact of the level of urbanisation and the anthropogenic activity on the Algerian hedgehog prey richness in the north of Algeria (79 prey species and 5574 individuals ingested in the urban area, compared to 64 prey species and 3188 individuals ingested in the natural zone).

In this paper, we present our dataset containing up-to-date information about occurrences of small mammals (Erinaceomorpha, Soricomorpha and Rodentia) on the territory of Samarskaya Luka. It is a bend of the Volga River in the southern part of the forest-steppe zone of the Russian Plain (European Russia). This unique territory is surrounded on almost all sides by water. The dataset summarises small mammal occurrences noted in long-term studies in Samarskaya Luka from 2000 to 2020. A major part of the dataset was obtained during our helminthological study of small mammals. Besides, some data were attained when studying the ecology of tree-dwelling rodents. Our studies of small mammals were conducted by trap lines and direct observations in the wild. The dataset includes 8147 records of erinaceomorphs, soricomorphs and rodents of 26 species (of total 28) belonging to three orders, nine families and 21 genera. It is based on the research of the staff of the Institute of Ecology of the Volga River Basin of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Zhiguli State Nature Reserve. The distribution of erinaceomorphs, soricomorphs and rodents in Samarskaya Luka has not been completely studied and further investigation may well discover new small mammal habitats. Our dataset contains new information on occurrences of erinaceomorphs, soricomorphs and rodents in Samarskaya Luka (European Russia). All occurrence records of 26 mammal species with georeferencing are published in GBIF for the first time. The occurrence data are stored in our field journals and we would like to make them available to all researchers.
