	abstract = {European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus) populations have declined precipitously over the last 70 years. Its protection cannot be ensured solely by protecting its habitat; it is also necessary to protect the animals ex situ. In our study, within a European ground squirrel species protection program, we examined two elements of indoor housing technology. Knowledge of the animals’ needs is essential for captive housing and breeding success, so in our tests, the animals could freely choose both nest-building materials and feed. In the nest material preference test, the animals could choose from three materials with different structures: paper, Lignocel and hay. In the feed preference test, the animals could also choose from three types of feed: commercial rabbit feed, complete rabbit feed and a natural feed mixture. The first two feeds were in granulated format, and the third was a grain feed mix. Among the nesting materials, they preferred hay, which allowed them to build better-quality nests. Among the feeds, they preferred the grain feed mix, the composition closest to their natural feed, and it was the only one that contained animal protein. Our results contribute to the successful maintenance and breeding the European ground squirrel in captivity.},

	abstract = {One of the problematic points of rabbit breeding is that the nutritional requirements of the kits are not fully satisfied by the does’ milk production from the third week of lactation onwards. The prolactin receptor gene has a significant effect on reproductive processes, and its polymorphisms have been associated with milk production in several species (cattle, goats, sheep, and buffalo). The European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), has a more diverse genetic background compared to domesticated lines. In the course of our study, sequencing of the 1210 bp long segment of the PRLR gene promoter region was accomplished. We detected four point mutations (SNP1-407G > A, SNP2-496G > C, SNP3-926T> and SNP4-973A > C) and one microsatellite at position 574. In our population, the four SNPs were segregated into four genotypes: AACCCCCC, GGGGTTAA, AAGGTTAC, and GGGGTCAC. Our results show that the genotype in the homozygous form is associated with higher milk production (1564.7 ± 444.7 g) compared to the other three genotypes (AACCCCCC 1399.1 ± 326.8 g; GTGACCTT 1403.8 ± 517.1 g; GGGGTCAC 1220.0 ± 666.2 g), and the short microsatellite repeat (167 bp) also coincides with significantly higher milk production (1623.8 ± 525.1 g). These results make the marker-assisted selection possible also for domesticated lines.},

	abstract = {Correct identification of similar, closely related species with overlapping distribution is a crucial point in field biology. In small mammal studies, species identification is particularly problematic in population studies using trapping where live animals need to be identified. The aim of our research was to develop a method making the classification of the two Hungarian mouse species, mound-building mouse (Mus spicilegus) and house mouse (Mus musculus) possible based on morphometric characters. The basis to obtain reference data was the captive populations of caged animals housed in our laboratory where the true species classification was known for every animal. Body weight, body length, tail length, and tail diameter were measured for 56-56 individuals from both species. From these measurements the ratio of the body length/tail length was also calculated. Besides, the sex and age of these animals were also recorded. Data analysis consisted of stepwise discriminant procedure and discriminant analysis, respectively. The stepwise discriminant procedure restricted the morphometric characters to the ratio of the body length/tail length and tail diameter. Performing the discriminant analysis to these body measures a perfect classification was obtained even using cross-validation. Thus, applying the obtained discriminant function to the classification of any live trapped mice is feasible.},
