The temporal pattern of artificial nestboxes use by coexisting dormouse (Gliridae), passerine bird, amphibian and invertebrate species and the interspecific interaction between them were analyzed in a deciduous forest in the Transylvanian Plain. The active and/or breeding season for several species overlap for at least a time period and competition and predation were observed between them. The fat dormouse Glis glis outcompetes and/or predates on bird and other dormouse species, but also peacefully coexists inside the same nestbox with the tree frog Hyla arborea and the Copper Underwing moth Amphipyra pyramidea. The Great Tit Parus major seems to be unaffected by the competition for nest sites or by nest predation.
Keywords: amphibian, interspecific competition, passerine bird, predation, secondary cavity nesters
