The bank vole Myodes glareolus was by far (87%) the most common species trapped, but also other species were observed (including shrews). We provide digital data collection forms and highlight the importance of long-term data collection.</dcterms:description><dcterms:subject>Earth and Environmental Sciences</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>arvicolinae, vole, shrews, trapping, abundance index, field method, database, dissection</dcterms:subject><dcterms:language>English</dcterms:language><dcterms:isReferencedBy>Neby, M., Andreassen, H., Milleret, C.P., Pedersen, S., Peris Tamayo, A.-M., Carriondo Sánchez, D., Versluijs, E. &amp; Zimmermann, B.
