Small mammals (mammalia: Erinaceomorpha, soricomorpha, rodentia and lagomorpha) in ponor special protection area (natura 2000), western bulgaria: Species diversity, distribution and conservation [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Ponor Special Protection Area (Ponor SPA) is part of the Western Stara Planina (Western Balkan Range) and includes open grasslands and forests. Twenty-seven species of small mammals were detected in it: 1 species of the order Erinaceomorpha, 7 species of the order Soricomorpha, 1 species of the order Lagomorpha and 18 species of the order Rodentia. The density of Spermophilus citellus has gradually decreased from 2008 to 2011during the period of study. The density of Lepus europaeus is relatively low. Nannospalax leucodon is well distributed throughout. The most common threats are the succession of habitats caused by reduction of free grazing livestock, the decrease of haymaking, burning of pastures and deforestation affecting old forests. Conservation activities with regard to small mammals and their habitats have been proposed.
