Summary Deer numbers have increased dramatically throughout Europe and North America over the last century, but empirical analyses of variation in harvesting influence biological cultural factors are lacking. We examined trends size composition red deer Cervus elaphus harvests three to four decades 11 European countries with contrasting productivity, management strategies hunting traditions. The harvest exponentially all except Austria Germany, where it was stable, Poland, has declined...
Roe deer is the most abundant cervid species occurring in of Europe.It has an increasing economic, cultural, and ecological importance.Therefore roe research programmes are essential for sustainable use this species.Our purpose was to analyse changes population harvest Europe on basis available game management information.For study we used published data 1984 early 2000s.During these two decades reported numbers (spring population) increased from 6.2 9.5 million hunting bag 1.7 2.7...
The European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW) as part the ENETWILD project, aims to improve capacity for monitoring wildlife populations, implementing international standards data collection, providing guidance on density estimation, and finally, promote collaborative, open networks develop monitoring, initially focusing terrestrial wild mammals. This report presents estimates species that are widely distributed (wild boar (Sus scrofa), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red (Cervus elaphus)) by...
Red deer is one of the most abundant cervid species occurring in Europe. It has an increasing economic, cultural and ecological importance. Therefore red research programs are essential for sustainable use this species. Our purpose was to analyze changes population harvest Europe on basis available game management information. For study we used published data 1984 early 2000s. During these two decades reported numbers (spring population) increased from 1.1 million 1.7 hunting bag 275...
Abstract Genome‐wide technologies open up new possibilities to clarify questions on genetic structure and phylogeographic history of taxa previously studied with microsatellite loci mitochondrial sequences. Here, we used 736 individual red deer ( Cervus elaphus ) samples genotyped at 35,701 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) assess the population species throughout Europe. The results identified 28 populations, higher degrees distinction in peripheral compared mainland populations....
The dynamic spread of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) in Hungary results human—carnivore conflicts. We presumed that an area intensive big-game management jackal's diet would contain increased proportion ungulates (or their viscera). collected and analysed stomachs 62 jackals during a period two years. Viscera carrion wild were found to be primary food every season (wet weight: 55%), addition, consumption adult boar cervids proved remarkable. A deer calf was detected one stomach. Adult...
Summary Human harvesting has a large impact on natural populations and may cause undesirable life‐history changes. In wild ungulate populations, unrestricted trophy hunting strong selection pressures resulting in evolutionary change towards smaller trophies. It rarely been tested how varies space time, whether directional hunter is sufficiently to induce long‐term decreases size century‐scale data. We analysed two unique data sets of records spanning decade (1973–2008) century scales...
Abstract The American mink Neogale vison is an invasive alien species in Europe that threatens endemic biodiversity and can transmit zoonotic diseases, including the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus. last attempt to map geographic range of this Europe, at continental scale, dates back 2007. We aimed update distribution feral assess its temporal trends. information we collected was critically analysed with aim improving future monitoring protocols data collection. gathered standardised from 34 databases,...
The golden jackal has rapidly expanded across Europe in recent decades and was one of the first to reappear Hungary. Using hunting bag data from National Game Management Database 1995 2021, we examined spatial expansion species its population dynamics. Our findings reveal an exponential increase since mid-1990s, with average annual growth rate 40% occupancy 86% country. speed range 536.9 km 2 year -1 until 2007 increased 5,289.1 during second part process. density shot jackals also shows...
Agricultural damage caused by wild ungulates can be economically very important worldwide. In Europe, the impact of causes significant losses to crops, mainly maize, where it exceeds billions US dollars annually. The objective this study was explore spatial and temporal characteristics boar red deer in order propose efficient prevention mitigation agricultural producers carried out three forests neighbouring maize fields two different areas. We recorded data on proportion, type location...
Abstract Red deer is the most valuable game of fauna in Hungary, and there a strong need for genetic identification individuals. For this purpose, 10 tetranucleotide STR markers were developed amplified two 5‐plex systems. The study presented here includes flanking region sequence analysis allele nomenclature loci as well PCR optimization DeerPlex I II . LD pairwise tests cross‐species similarity analyses showed to be independently inherited. Considerable levels differences between...
Fallow deer is one of the most common and widespread cervid species in Europe. To make informed management decisions on any scale, it essential to have long-term data abundance populations their harvest. We provide missing information changes status fallow Europe analyse relationships between population harvest using a numerical approach. conduct our analyses, we collected national statistical sizes hunting bags for all European countries four periods: 1984, mid-2000s, mid-2010s, early...
Wildlife have an important role in the lives of local people and conservation practitioners Malaysia because their rare elusive status, socioeconomic impacts, management conflicts. However, few studies evaluated attitudes toward wildlife methods Malaysia. In this study, we used indices to measure The iterative item reliability analysis was executed on online questionnaire data from a random sample 585 respondents using Cronbach’s alpha. result yielded two locals’ attitudes; (i) Attitude...
In our study, we examined the movement of two wild boars marked with GPS/GSM transmitters in city Budapest. We hypothesised that: do not leave urban area (H1); prefer places that are less disturbed by people, and which rich potential hiding (H2); their home ranges would be smaller than living non-urban environment (H3). Based on results, accepted first hypothesis, as had left However, partly rejected second hypothesis: preferred areas were forested richly covered vegetation; however, human...
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) significantly impacts the pig farming industry globally, leading to economic losses due reduced productivity. This study focuses on assessing presence impact of PRRS within Hungarian wild boar populations amidst efforts eradicate virus from domestic herds. We used a combination serological virological tests samples collected boars across Hungary evaluate prevalence its potential transmission risks pigs. Our findings reveal low...
Sustainable wildlife management requires reliable data on population, habitat, and the interaction between them. Since 1993, Hungary has maintained National Game Management Database, which collects game populations hunting bags annually. During last three decades, of medium-sized predators have remarkably increased in country. Our study analyzed changes bag spatial distribution two invasive alien species, raccoon (Procyon lotor) dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), utilizing annual reports from...
Abstract Most European rewilding initiatives are based on the recovery of large herbivores, particularly bison Bison bonasus , aiming at restoring ecosystem processes and increase trophic complexity. The growing support for release as a wild species, change its legal status, in Spain, an ecological analogue extinct steppe priscus makes it excellent example to reflect limits biogeographically advisable. We discuss if this initiative could be justified from ecological, biogeographical,...
