Abstract
Ring — shaped damages at a stem of silver fir presumably caused by the dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius L.
A report is given on ring-shaped damages at the stem of a silver fir, observed in summer of 1963 near Freilassing/Southern Bavaria. These rings consisted in several single deepenings and were cause in the highest degree by dormice,M. avellanarius. At the same stem near the damages there was a nest box of birds containing an nest of the dormouse. The next relations of this rodent, the Seven Sleeper(Glis glis) and the Garden Sleeper(Gliomys quercinus) are already known to be the originators of ring-shaped damages at tree stems.
