Abstract
Distances and directions of Apodemus agrarius and Clethrionomus glareolus movements were studied using snap traps and colored bait. The longest distances traversed exceeded 1500 m. Some directions of movement were significantly more common. High variability in the number of captures along traplines suggests distinct movement routes. Small mammals appear to base their movement on the landscape and not on individual biotopes.
