David Stone] Biologia di Talpa Romana thomas (Mammalia, Insectivora: Talpidae). 1. Home range e ritmi di attività: nsultati preliminari di uno studio di radiotelemetria Home range and activity rhythms were investigated through the use of radiotelemetry. Field work was conducted near Rome, Italy, during the reproductive season. Results from the first two months of the study are presented. A total of eight moles (5 females; 3 males) were followed during this investigation, each for an average period of two weeks. Individual moles occupied a well defined home range, which varied in size from average 4300 m2 in males to average 1658 m2 in females. Range overlap was observed between animals of different sex, while home ranges patrolled by animals of same sex were largely exclusive. Overlap was highly reduced when core areas of activity were considered. Daily activity rhythms showed a regular alternation between periods of rest and activity, each lasting about four hours in duration. Activity patterns of females were better synchronized then those of males, a feature which is probably related to mating activity.
