Other mammals
The distribution, status and habitat demands of the water shrew (Neomys fodiens) in Denmark*. were studied 1993-94 within a project financed by the Danish Animal Protection Organization and the Danish branch of the World Wildlife Fund. (M. Carlsen).
A project on Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), fallow deer (Dama dama) and motorized road traffic has been completed in collaboration with the Danish Animal Protection Organization (M. Ujvári, cand.scient. project, H.J. Baagøe, A.B. Madsen, The National Environmental Research Institute, Kalø). The status, occurrence, and behavioural adaptation for living in or near buildings of the stone marten (Martes foina) in Denmark, has been studied (V. Sørensen, cand.scient. project). Density, choice of dens and the attitude of the human population towards town foxes have been studied in a Copenhagen suburb (S. Jørgensen, cand.scient project). A project concerning the biological and environmental effects of reintroducing wild boar (Sus scrofa) and beaver (Castor fiber) has been initiated (I.B.F. Andersen, cand., scient. project). A study on species richness in African mammals has been initiated (J. Larsen, cand.scient. project). A study of the effect on larger mammals, especially primates, of disturbance caused by hunting and logging has been initiated in the Udzungwa Mountains, Tanzania (U. B. Pedersen and J. E. Topp-Jørgensen, cand.scient. projects). A study of the occurrence of mammals, especially rodents, in relation to human habitat disturbance, has been initiated at Saila Pata in Cochabamba, Bolivia; the project is part of a multidisciplinary approach which also includes botany and ornithology as well as studies of human exploitation (J. Rasmussen, cand.scient. project). A review of the terrestrial mammal fauna of Thailand (C.C. Kinze) and a review of the possibilities to use ultrasonic detectors for mammal surveys in Thailand (H.J Baagøe) have been prepared and presented on a conference on the Biodiversity of Thailand.
