Аннотация: In this study, we examined the effect of synanthropic house mouse (Mus musculus) urine odor on catching probability of small mammals to livetraps. We conducted a series of field experiments in August 2016 and 2017 in a natural forests of the northwestern Moscow Region (Russia).Small mammals were trapped at two 4-ha fields using capture-mark-recapture technique by setting 200 live traps (100 points, 2 traps per point)within each field. One trap in each pair was odorless (control) with bait only, whereas the other one was odor-baited with 20 μL of the urine ofa synanthropic house mouse. Further analysis was based on the data collected from 2 rodent species (bank vole Myodes glareolus, herb fieldmouse Apodemus uralensis) and 3 shrew species (common shrew Sorex araneus, Laxmann’s shrew Sorex caecutiens, and Eurasian pygmyshrew Sorex minutus). As a result, only bank voles significantly avoided odor-baited live traps. Using generalized linear mixed models, weshowed that the choice of a trap by bank voles depended on their age, whereas the probability of repeated capture to a certain live trap wasrelated to their prior experience. We discuss the possible role of components of synanthropic house mouse urine in the population managementof exoanthropic small mammals.
