Live‑trapping grids (10 × 10 m, 100 Sherman traps) were deployed for 5‑night sessions each month from May 2015 to September 2022. Each captured individual was marked with a Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag, measured (weight, body length), and released at point of capture. Radio‑telemetry (VHF) was employed on a subset (n = 120) to quantify home‑range size and seasonal movement. Vegetation surveys and micro‑climate loggers (temperature, humidity) were co‑located with trapping stations. masha babko siberian mouses
Masha Babko’s longitudinal trapping data demonstrate that A. sibericus possesses notable behavioral flexibility, enabling it to exploit a spectrum of micro‑habitats. The reliance on snow cover for winter thermoregulation suggests that decreasing snow depth—a direct consequence of Arctic warming—poses a severe physiological challenge.
