Limited mapping of migrations hampers conservation
Abstract Aim To determine whether a contemporary population of the moose ( Alces alces ), large northern ungulate, retains genetic signatures post‐glacial recolonization and/or effects anthropogenic factors. We focused on investigating spatial structure and distribution diversity this species to clarify its still obscure history. Location Eastern Fennoscandia, Northern Europe. Methods In total, 574 Finnish Russian Karelian were genotyped at 16 microsatellite loci, mitochondrial control...
Zoo conditions are unique for reindeer, since even domestic reindeer not kept in captive facilities like cattle. In the zoo, usually surrounded by many different animals they would never encounter naturally. Thus might pick up some new helminths. Numerous petting zoos raise an issue of safety tactile communications human visitors. Out study is first large-scale one. Qualitative and quantitative fecal analysis was carried out 233 distributed over 50 Russian according to National Standard...
The existence of the wild forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus) in North Europe is under threat.Urgent measures are needed to protect this species.One main consideration development a network Protected Areas (PAs).The Russian part Finnish-Russian Friendship Nature Reserve includes Metsola Biosphere (MBR).The MBR contains habitats Kuhmo Area -Lake Kiitehenjärvi's (Lake Kamennoe) R.t. fennicus subpopulation and it great importance for animal.This area mainly summer pastures rutting...
Abstract Background Reduction of genetic diversity can lead to reduced fitness species, such as the loss adaptability changing environments. The native Eurasian beaver ( Castor fiber ) was hunted extinction from Finland and many other countries in Europe nineteenth century. In Finland, species re-introduced 1930s with only a few individuals Norway. Re-introductions were performed also northern result, populations have undergone population bottlenecks leading low levels diversity. Materials...
The size of erythrocytes varies widely across mammals.Previously, deviations from allometric relationships and existence factors regulating erythrocyte other than body mass have been shown.The contribution such as habitat taxonomy are still under discussion.In the present study we examined morphology in rodent species determined their diameter, for Ondatra zibethicus Sciurus vulgaris this was done first time.We discovered that diameter investigated ranged 5.5 to 8.4 μm, varying by a factor...
The Russian Arctic supports wild sympatric ruminants and their data-deficient helminths. In this study, we: (1) collected fecal samples of semiwild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus), snow sheep (Ovis nivicola) across Palearctic North territories: Arkhangelsk Oblast (including Novaya Zemlya archipelago), Karelia Sakha Republics, Kola, Yamal, Taimyr, Chukotka Peninsulas, Bering, Svalbard, Wrangel Islands; (2) conducted a coprological survey (noninvasive life-time method...
The article provides data on the diet of brown bear, collected in Karelia and Terski district Murmansk Region 2002-2016 years. Quantitative characteristics bear are given basis analysis composition feces (n = 631) registration patterns predator foraging activity. seasonal dynamics consumed food items, regional local features described article. Particular attention was paid to role ants feeding, estimate this more than 800 ant colonies were examined routes.
The study of the distribution and abundance ungulate mammals in Karelian part Green Belt Fennoscandia (GBF) showed that these characteristics are subject to significant influence natural anthropogenic factors. GBF territory is a complex set landscapes belonging northern, middle partly southern taiga, shaping ungulates within it. High, compared regional average, moose wild boar track densities recorded North-Western Ladoga region (Lahdenpohsky, Sortavalsky Districts). A large share forest...
