Brown bears (Ursus arctos) in the Cantabrian Mountains of northwestern Spain occur 2 small, isolated, and endangered populations: western population (WP) smaller eastern (EP) were studied from 1989 to 2004. We documented number unique females with cubs-of-the-year (FCUB), cubs per female, area occupied by FCUB. The estimated FCUB using Chao mark–resight estimator was similar a conservative obtained protocols distinguish animals (N̂Obs). In WP, N̂Obs increased during period, whereas trend...
Abstract In order to understand wild boar's diet during the cold season and its alternatives mast in a southern European mountain range, 234 boar stomachs we collected autumn winter three consecutive hunting seasons. The study was undertaken several valleys of southwestern Pyrenees, third which forest. Results indicated that mainly consisted plant matter from aerial parts different forest plants. most important items terms abundance frequency appearance were beechnuts Fagus sylvatica, acorns...
Abstract Two political jurisdictions in northern Spain, Navarre, where the Pyrenean chamois Rupicapra pyrenaica is categorized as Vulnerable, and Aragon, it huntable, coordinated management for recovery of this subspecies at western limit its range. After an estimate only a small population 1992–1993 hunting was banned Aragon and, 1995–1996, monitoring both populations began. In two massifs lives, which lie across border jurisdictions, increased from 33 to 136 144 455 by 2007 (average annual...
Between 2006 and 2008, an outbreak of Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) affected Pyrenean chamois Rupicapra p. pyrenaica, endemic subspecies mountain ungulate that lives in the Pyrenees. The study focused on 14 massifs (180,000 ha) where species' population is stable. Cases IKC were detected ten and, five them, mortality was substantial. spread quickly from first location detected, with two peaks one (2007) three (2008) massifs. In latter, peak seasonal (spring to autumn) former,...
Agricultural damages caused by wild boar Sus scrofa have given farmers a negative impression of protected areas and their management. To mitigate those the social conflicts that they create, hunting battues involving experienced local hunters were used as lethal population control method in Iberian wetland. In Ebro Sotos Galachos Nature Reserve, Spain, between 1994 2011, 259 boars culled during 476 battues. On average, involved six ten dogs, culling efficiency (number animals killed per seen...
La importante expansión de las poblaciones ungulados silvestres en Aragón desde los años 50 del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, tanto superficie ocupada como abundancia ejemplares, ha hecho necesario el seguimiento mismas para su adecuada gestión. Su incremento dos últimas décadas, junto con aumento daños agrícolas y colisiones vehículos, motivado un cambio criterios gestores; pasando conservación fomento al control e incluso reducción efectivos. Los métodos utilizados fueron: encuestas...
In January 2000, the last Pyrenean wild goat, Capra pyrenaica pyrenaica, died in Ordesa National Park Spanish Pyrenees. Since that time, there has been an intense debate over possibility of using individuals from other extant subspecies to restore Iberian goat C. late 1990s, some goats hispanica escaped enclosure Guara Nature Park, also Between 2006 and 2012, four annual counts were conducted quantify demographics population. This expanding but isolated population numbered at least 86...
Aim of study: To manage and conserve wild populations effectively, a good understating population density is critical. During 2010, the Iberian goat Capra pyrenaica mouflon Ovis aries were estimated.Area The area situated in Muela de Cortes Game Reservation (Spain), Mediterranean forest plateau, after mange Sarcoptes scabiei outbreak that affected both species. Material methods: measure abundance, sex ratio productivity mouflon. Field work was conducted during spring (after parturition)...
Monitoraggio a lungo termine del camoscio dei Pirenei in una zona protetta: fluttuazione della popolazione. Tra il 1993 ed 2009, la popolazione di pirenaico Rupicapra p. pyrenaica Parco Nazionale d’Aiguestortes e Estany de Sant Maurici (14119 ha, Catalogna, Spagna) stata monitorata periodicamente. Nel periodo post-riproduttivo (luglio), i censimenti sono stati condotti 20 percorsi supraforestali fissi, con l’obiettivo stimare le variazioni nelle dimensioni, rapporto sessi, struttura...
Abstract During 2017, we studied knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes towards brown bears by extensive mountain sheep farmers in the Western Pyrenees, using a structured questionnaire, specifically, whether scarce bear presence, or administrative region, was influential. Livestock raising practices are mainly family properties have suffered strong decline last decades. Despite its low abundance (only 2 individuals during study period area), there generalized negative attitude presence of...
Estudiamos el uso del hábitat por parte jabalí Sus scrofa a lo largo de tres años en Parque Natural Moncayo, un área protegida montaña Sistema Ibérico, España. Para ello rastreamos las huellas y señales su actividad función la vegetación, topografía, cinegética estacionalidad. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando regresiones logísticas binarias. El usado difiere según estaciones, gestión vegetación. mayoritariamente seleccionados altitudes medias (1101-1600 m) áreas dominadas encina...
El objetivo del estudio fue estimar la distribución y densidad de cabra montés en provincial Castellón, España. Pedimos a los agentes medioambientales Departamento Medio Ambiente Generalitat Valencia que estimaran su utilizando cuadrículas 2,5 x km2 e identificaran 130 puntos observación fijos con buena visibilidad toda el área. seguimiento se hizo dos periodos: junio julio, tras partos noviembre-diciembre, durante celo. conteo realizó amanecer o antes atardecer periodos 3 horas para...
The studied farms are small family businesses, and so, in more than half of the cases, their continuity is not guaranteed. Livestock management typical a mountain system, which animals graze throughout year cultivated fields, sown meadows, forests near farms, pastures during three summer months. herds always have constant surveillance shepherd. Farmers consider current infrastructure present grasslands insufficient to facilitate care herd. Their activity conflicts with various species...
[fr] Par la voie de l'observation directe nous avons étudié le grégarisme journalier chez une population d'isard (Rupicapra p. pyrenaica ) à limite occidentale l'aire répartition l'espèce. La surface complète occupée a été suivie par trajets fixes mensuels durant un an. taille des différents troupeaux varié là 54 individus. De même, composition était également très variable et changeait d'une saison l'autre ou d'un habitat l'autre. manière générale, les étaient petits (45% seulement animal,...
