Material Mice skulls (n = 491) were extracted from barn owl pellets collected in towers, churches and old houses all over the northern part of Corsica during the years 1980 and 1981 (Fig. 1). On the mainland, we also collected barn owl pellets in Viens (Vaucluse; n = 49) and Belflou (Aude; n = 35) to sample Mediterranean populations of A. sylvaticus. To compare all that material with the nominal subspecies and with A. flavicollis, we made similar sampling in several locaUties of Belgium spread in the provinces of Liege, Luxembourg and Namur. The specific identity of these skulls was ascertained using the discriminant functions computed by Van der Straeten & Van der Straeten-Harrie (1977). Sample size is 47 for A. s. sylvaticus and 86 for A. flavicollis. During the spring 1981, six Corsican mice were live trapped in three different localities. They were kept in captivity for further blood analyses. In the same way, we caught three A. favicollis and two A. sylvaticus in the forests of Florenville (South Belgium), Methods Biochemistry Blood samples were taken by retroorbital puncture and the blood treated as described in Debrot & Mermod (1977). An electrophoresis of seralbumins was performed on an agarose gel (20 Vcm""") and the proteins stained with Coomassie Please note that these images are extracte
