Abstract Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Eptesicus serotinus, Nyctalus noctula, N. leisleri, Myotis daubentonii, M. myotis , unidentified small spp. and Plecotus were recorded during bat detector transects within a central European city of 350,000 inhabitants. Bats in all seven habitat types under study, the levels activity for each species type significantly different. The relative whole community was highest old outskirts (low density housing) at river, lowest centre new housing estates (high...
Impact of small rodents on mountain forest regeneration was studied in National Nature Reserve the Beskydy Mountains (Czech Republic). A considerable amount bark damage found young trees (20%) spring after peak abundance field voles ( Microtus agrestis ) combination with long winter heavy snowfall. In contrast, little to noted under high densities bank Myodes glareolus a lower snow cover following winter. The deciduous more attractive (22% damaged) than conifers (8%). Young growing open and...
Wild boar is an autochthonous animal species of the Czech Republic that has significantly increased its population density in recent years. There are concerns there associated negative impact upon agricultural crop production however, objective methods for sustainable management wild boar, especially estimation and intensity regulation still lacking. differs markedly from other free-living ungulates spatial activity food selection, which limits applicability experiences used species. Two...
The dietary composition of the western Derby eland (Taurotragus derbianus derbianus), a critically endangered antelope, was investigated using microhistological analyses faeces. Samples were collected in Niokolo Koba National Park, refuge last wild population, and Bandia wildlife reserve, where animals foraged on natural supplementary food. Leaves, shoots woody plants, fruits three major components at both sites. They formed 98.8% diet volume 77.5% Reserve food reduced consumption but...
Wild boar is a native species in the fauna of Czech Republic. It becoming problematic game both Republic and other European countries due to its harmful impacts. So far no suitable method sustainable management has been devised. Yet, correct abundance estimate essential for proper management, field crop damage prevention hunting planning. This paper employed faecal pellet group count wild density forest environment. The research was conducted study area covering 12.83 km2, which surrounded...
Understanding how large carnivores utilize space is crucial for management planning in human-dominated landscape and enhances the accuracy of population size estimates. However, Eurasian lynx display a inter-population variation home ranges across their European range which makes extrapolation to broader areas species distribution problematic. This study evaluates variations 35 Western Carpathians during 2011-2022 based on GPS telemetry explains intrinsic environmental factors shape spatial...
In this study, we tested the efficiency of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to assess nitrogen content in faeces free‐living ruminants. Faecal (FN) was analysed 168 pellet groups from red deer Cervus elaphus and roe Capreolus capreolus growing season winter using both standard Kjeldahl method NIRS analysis. Estimates obtained by two methods did not differ (P > 0.1), correlation between FN values significant < 0.001). ranged within 1.10–4.58% dry matter and, as anticipated,...
The aim of this study was to compare the diet composition based on rumen contents mouflons from two localities differing in food supply. In northern Moravia (NM), secondary forests with dominance conifers prevailed, whereas southern (SM) broad-leaved trees dominated. A total 50 (NM, n = 23; SM, 27) quantitative and qualitative analyses were carried out. specimens both tree species predominated (NM 32.56% volume; SM 38.92% v) during autumn-winter season. Among woody plants, ash most...
Norway spruce is a wide-spread food resource and its utilisable biomass exceeds the needs of herbivores. Needles seem to be generally ignored component in temperate forests that consumed only when there are no better sources. It used especially during winters with deep snow cover. The aim this study was test presumption needles as nutritive poor ungulate diets through botanical diet analyses chemical nutrition estimation (content crude protein metabolizable energy volume faeces) elaborate...
