We studied how wood mice (\n                    <jats:italic>Apodemus sylvaticus<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), inhabiting a Mediterranean environment, use nests and the factors that could be determining this use. Radio\u2010tracking of 16 mice allowed us to detect 24 diurnal nests, which were used with a high fidelity rate (1.75 nests\/animal). Nest sites that had been identified using radio\u2010tracking were matched with 24 randomly selected non\u2010nest sites (located within an area defined by the sum of all individual home ranges), and all sites were characterized according to their macro\u2010 and micro\u2010habitat parameters. Using a generalized linear model, we tested three hypotheses: (1) a nest's use is influenced by its proximity to food patches; (2) the degree of sheltering provided by each site influences its use; and (3) nest use is constrained by a combination of food\u2010 and shelter\u2010related features. Females had higher nest fidelity than males, and the degree of sheltering provided by each site had a positive significant influence on its use. Nests offering higher protection (e.g., under thick vegetation), good drainage (e.g., sleep slopes), and lower human and predatory disturbance (far from orchards) were most often used. The proximity to food patches seemed to negatively influence nest use. Results indicate the need to preserve patches of natural dense vegetation near riparian habitats, which is in agreement with the focus of mammalian protection plans in Mediterranean agricultural landscapes. These patches are important areas for\n                    <jats:italic>Apodemus sylvaticus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , an acorn disperser species, which is preyed on by raptors and mammalian carnivores.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11284-010-0797-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,14]],"date-time":"2011-01-14T08:53:28Z","timestamp":1294995208000},"page":"445-452","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Selection of nest sites by wood mice\n                    <i>Apodemus sylvaticus<\/i>\n                    in a Mediterranean agro\u2010forest landscape"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Lu\u00eds M.","family":"Rosalino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Biologia Ambiental, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias de Lisboa Universidade de Lisboa Ed.
