The Dormouse Hollow

What's New? - The History of The Dormouse Hollow

• March/April 2003: "Dormouse Talk" archives available online.
• March 2003: Changed the design a little; switched to CSS layout control for greater ease of maintenance. Tried to fix all names with foreign special characters so they're displayed correctly. If your name is missing any diacritical signs, please let me know.
• March 2003: Added Frequently Asked Questions. Fixed all broken links and eliminated most links to pages that are still "under construction". These links are visible but not clickable now, in order to spare you the bother of following them all and finding nothing.
• March 2003: Fixed the Search. It seems to have been out of order since glirarium.org changed provider, that is, for several months. Sorry!
• March 2003: The Dormouse Bibliography is growing in size (about 250 entries). I tried to update the address data at Dormousers on E-mail. In order to reduce spam mail you need a password now to view the detailed address information.
• February 2003: The Dormouse Bibliography added (in HTML and PDF format. Still small, but we hope the bibliography will grow quickly.
• Autumn 2002: Kathrin Passig (www.glirarium.org/bilch) temporarily takes over the maintenance of this website until Werner Haberl will have time to take care of it again.
• 2000 - 2003: "What's new" was not maintained properly, so several changes are missing here. In 2002 the Dormouse Hollow moved from its German domain to glirarium.org. Some technical changes to the website's structure so it should become easier to maintain in the long run.
• 29 February 2000: The detailed report by the Sicilian (Italy) Dormouse Research Group. A text provided by M. Sarà. Includes 1 table, 3 figures and 3 distribution maps. Photos will be added soon.

• The website for The Dormouse Hollow was created in September 1999. In hard labour and with the help of a professional web-designer (thanks Kathrin!) the framework was completed in November 1999. It is not to the satisfaction of the said professional, but it is the best my html-editor and I could do...
• At the 4th International Conference on Dormice (Rodentia, Gliridae), 13 - 16 September 1999 in Edirne Turkey, Dr. Pat Morris proposed - in the name of the scientific committee - that a website and an e-mail newsletter dealing with dormice should be established in order to facilitate contacts among scientists and to discuss standard methods for future dormouse research. With regard to the positive experience I have had with the maintaining of "The Shrew Shrine" for many years, it was proposed that I take over this duty for the Dormouse Specialist Group ... I am trying to do my best. The following is a preliminary framework for this network. Many pages do not work yet. I will be waiting for your contributions and suggestions to make the "Dormouse Hollow" a functioning network ...
