Abstract Aim Population fragmentation represents a leitmotif of conservation biology, but the impact population reconnection is less well studied. The recent recolonization large carnivores in Europe good model for studying this phenomenon. We aim to show novel data regarding distribution and genetic structure grey wolf Central Europe, region considered frequent crossroad contact zone different phylogeographic lineages, biogeographic context. Location Western Carpathians, Europe. Methods In...
The recovery and expansion of formerly isolated wolf populations in Europe raise questions about the nature their interactions future consequences for population viability conservation. Will fragmented fuse or maintain a certain level isolation with migration? Central is suitable obtaining empirical data this field as it represents ‘crossroad' potential contact among several phylogeographic lineages. In study, non‐invasive genetic samples obtained during monitoring Bohemian Bavarian Forest...
Green infrastructure is a strategically planned network that broadens traditional biodiversity conservation methods to also encompass the concept of ecosystem services (ES). This study aims identify green in Central Europe. An analysis ecological connectivity based on ES supply quantified for CORINE land cover classes. Corridors between core areas, which are represented by Natura 2000 sites, capacity ecosystems maintenance and regulating ES. The delineated corridors covers approximately 15%...
The main aim of our study was to delineate a coherent ecological network for large carnivores, using unified methodology, which would be flexible and serve as basis nature habitat connectivity protection across the Carpathians. We applied comprehensive methodological approach based on suitability modelling followed by modelling. For modelling, we used robust set carnivores occurrence data, allowed us build solid model. From model, derived layer patches suitable required quality resistance...
Landscape fragmentation refers to the division of originally continuous landscapes into smaller, disconnected segments. This study aims assess current state and trends in landscape Czechia using Effective Mesh Size metric, with a particular focus on role migration corridors. The analysis considers anthropogenic factors, including road networks urban areas, measurements taken regular grid square cells. Four different scenarios (A, B, C, D) were created, reflecting combinations conditions,...
lf and Eurasian lynx were used to delineate core habitat areas stepping stones important for dispersal. The Circuit Theory was applied assessment of landscape connectivity finally a coherent network wildlife corridors designed. Proposal such green infrastructure is going be presented regional authorities stakeholders, provide them with relevant information negotiations road motorways planners.
The paper presents a study on the evaluation of potentially suitable habitat for Black Grouse in Giant Mountains.The modelling using traditional MAXENT method was extended by detailed assessment impact intensive recreation level fragmentation habitat.The results showed that degree isolation individual populations due to recreational within area leads gradual extinction particular subpopulations.Therefore, much stricter form visitor regulation region is urgently needed save these from extincion.
