Threats
As the yellow-necked mouse is associated with ancient woodland, it is likely that it is vulnerable to habitat fragmentation. However, a high dispersal ability and good reproductive potential suggests that this mouse can colonise new areas quickly (4). The increase in conifer planting may have reduced the availability of seed producing trees (4).
Conservation
Research and survey work is currently being carried out on this species by the University of Bristol's Mammal Research Unit (5). This work will hopefully shed light on the conservation status of this patchily distributed species (5).
