Population ecology of small rodents in sown wild flower areas in Western Switzerland
No full textSummary. — Small mammal communities on four sown wild flower areas in western Switzerland were studied from spring to autumn 2005 using the capture-recapture method. We trapped 666 animals belonging to Microtus arvalis, Apodemus sylvaticus, Apodemus flavicollis and Crocidura russula. M. arvalis, the most abundant species, reached a peak of 581 animals/ ha known to be alive (MNA ) on one area in late
September. Spring populations of M. arvalis were very low on all fields. A preliminary study in 2003-2004 showed a very low number of animals known to be alive during the winter months and a similar population growth in spring. Population turnover was generally high with up to 81 % of the population renewed in a one-week period (August). On all fields, there was a surplus of female M. arvalis. In August and September, the difference from 1 : 1 ratio was significant in one field, apparently a result of differential survival rate and recruitment between sexes. There was no significant difference in body mass between adult females and adult males. The second most frequent species, A. sylvaticus reached densities of up to 225 animals/ ha on one area, but only 60-100 animals/ ha, on the other three sites.Résumé. — Écologie des populations de petits rongeurs dans des jachères florales dans l’ouest de la Suisse. — Des communautés de petits mammifères ont été étudiées dans des jachères florales en Suisse romande du printemps à l’automne 2005 au moyen du piégeage par capture et recapture. Au total, 666 individus ont été capturés, appartenant aux espèces suivantes : Microtus arvalis, Apodemus sylvaticus, Apodemus flavicollis et Crocidura russula. M. arvalis, l’espèce la plus abondante, a atteint un maximum de 581 animaux/ ha (MNA MNA : minimum number alive) sur une parcelle en septembre. Au printemps, les populations de M. arvalis furent très basses sur toutes les parcelles. Une étude préliminaire en 2003-2004 a montré que le nombre d’animaux était très bas en hiver et ne s’accroissait qu’à la fin du printemps. Le renouvellement (turnover) des populations fut généralement élevé, dépassant 80 % en une semaine en août. Sur toutes les parcelles, un surplus de femelles de M. arvalis fut observé. En août et septembre, la différence par rapport à un sex-ratio de 1 : 1 fut statistiquement significative, due probablement à des taux de survie différents entre mâles et femelles. Aucune différence significative entre les poids des mâles et femelles adultes ne fut observée. La deuxième espèce la plus fréquente, A. sylvaticus, atteignit une densité de 225 individus/ ha sur une parcelle, mais seulement 60-100 individus/ ha sur les trois autres sites.Elmiger Raphael, Ramseier Michaela, Nentwig Wolfgang, Airoldi Jean-Pierre.

In the Footsteps of Raphael Lemkin
No full textWhen Raphael Lemkin invented the word ‘‘genocide’’ in 1944, he explained that this is a ‘‘new word, coined by the author to denote an old practice in its modern development.’’1 As Lemkin wrote these words, the paradigmatic genocide, the Holocaust, was raging in Europe
