Abstract
In Belgium the following species are studied: the birds great and blue tit (Parus major;Parus caeruleus), starling (Sturnus vulgaris) and moor hen (Gallinula chloropus), the mammals (rodents) red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) and wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) and the amphibian (anuran) natterjack toad (Bufo calamita); in Kenya the birds Taita thrush (Turdus helleri), white-starred robin (Pogonocichla stellata) and Taita white-eye (Zosterops poliogaster)This research does continue after 31/01/2001
