wood mouse
The wood mouse (''Apodemus sylvaticus'') is a common murid rodent from Europe and northwestern Africa. It is closely related to the yellow-necked mouse (''Apodemus flavicollis'') but differs in that it has no band of yellow fur around the neck, has slightly smaller ears, and is usually slightly smaller overall: around 90 mm (3.54") in length. It is found across most of Europe and is a very common and widespread species, is commensal with people and is sometimes considered a pest.〔 Database entry includes a brief justification of why this species is of least concern〕 Other common names are long-tailed field mouse, field mouse, common field mouse, and European wood mouse.〔Wrobel, Murray. (2006). ''Elsevier's Dictionary of Mammals''. Elsevier, ISBN 978-0-444-51877-4.〕
==Habitat==
Wood mice inhabit forests, grasslands, and cultivated fields. Almost entirely nocturnal and terrestrial, wood mice burrow extensively, build nests of plants and live in buildings during harsh seasons. It is one of the most intensively studied species in the genus. In Europe it ranges north to Scandinavia and east to Ukraine. The wood mouse is also found in northwestern Africa and on many Mediterranean islands.〔''Encyclopædia Britannica''. 2008. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/206303/wood-mouse〕
