Abstract
Occurrence of harvest mouse breeding nests in relation to reed-bed structure was studied in 2000-2001. This study took place in midfield marsh patches and drainage ditches in an intensively used farmland of western Poland. A total of 88 nests was found. 98% of them were attached to reed stems at a mean height of 48 (± 41 SD) cm. Harvest mice favoured reed-beds with low, thin and sparse stalks, with a high ratio of Carexl grass. Areas with a high density of herbaceous vegetation were avoided as nest sites. © Publications Scientifiques du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle.
