The ratio (%) of bank voles Myodes glareolus of different age trapped in odorless (black segment and percent) and traps with the house mice odor (white segment). 1: immature (subadult + juvenile), 2: subadult, 3: juvenile, and 4: adult. The difference is statistically significant for: * χ 2 = 12.1; P = 0.0005; **χ 2 = 13.4; P = 0.0002.

In this study we examined an effect of synanthropic house mouse (Mus musculus) urine odor on catching probability of small mammals to live traps. We conducted a series of field experiments in August 2016 and 2017 in natural forest of northwestern Moscow Region (Russia). Small mammals were trapped at two 4-ha fields using capture–mark–recapture tech...
