✦ Synopsis

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.

In contrast to adult humans, the epiglottis of other mammals and infant humans is situated close to the soft palate. It has been argued that this posture is maintained during swallowing, with food passing laterally around a n intact airway. To test this supposition, the movement of the epiiglottis i

Interest in the influence of landscape features on animal movement has been widespread; however, few field studies of the emigration of small mammals from patches of habitat directly consider the effects of the smallscale landscape features. The simulation models of Stamps et al. (1987a, b) and Buec
