Abstract
We examined path selection and avoidance by tracking Peromyscus leucopus marked with fluorescent powder in Minnesota and Maryland. Mice at both sites selected logs >5 cm in diameter and avoided logs P. leucopus appear to restrict their movements to paths that offer protection from predators searching by sight or sound.Keywords
