Mus musculus mollossinus, House Mouse
The house mouse on Jeju was regarded as M. m. yamashinai, as with the Korean peninsula population ( Won, 1968). The main competitor of the house mouse is Rattus norvegicus and interiors of human construction are preferred habitat for both species ( Won, 1967). Most small mammal surveys on Jeju are conducted in suburban or forested areas, and therefore, house mice are rarely captured ( Oh et al., 2007).
