Abstract
A field study was conducted in two woodlots to identify the major physical features of the habitat that Peromyscus leucopus uses in short-range orientation and navigation, and to which it is responsive in the process of habitat selection. In one woodlot, landmarks used for short-range orientational and navigational aids were trees, logs (fallen branches and tree trunks), rocks, stone fences, and rock piles. In the other woodlot, trees (particularly those of large diameter) were important but logs and rocks were avoided to some extent. For both woodlots, areas with high densities of woody stems were avoided; logs were not important as refuge sites.
