Abstract Aim Several large‐mammal species in Europe have recovered and recolonized parts of their historical ranges. Knowing where suitable habitat exists, thus range expansions are possible, is important for proactively promoting coexistence between people large mammals shared landscapes. We aimed to assess the opportunities limitations Europe's two largest herbivores, European bison ( Bison bonasus ) moose Alces alces ). Location Central Europe. Methods used occurrence datasets from...
Abstract Context Global warming has been exerting an increasing stress on mammal populations occurring at the bioclimatic edges of their ranges. Moose, as heat-sensitive ungulates, are expected to be increasingly susceptible thermal stress; however, behavioral responses animals could mitigate unfavorable weather conditions. Objectives We aimed evaluate temperature-mediated changes in moose southwestern edge species’ range Europe. predicted that temperature summer would modify daily activity...
Spatio-temporal variation in resource availability leads to a variety of animal movement strategies. In the case ungulates, temporally unpredictable landscapes are associated with nomadism, while high predictability distribution favours migratory or sedentary behaviours depending on spatial and temporal scale landscape dynamics. As most surveys moose (Alces alces) Europe have been conducted Scandinavian populations, little is known about strategies at southern edge species' range. We...
Insects of the genus Lipoptena, e.g., Lipoptena cervi and fortisetosa, are hematophagic ectoparasites mainly attacking deer, roe moose, horses, cattle. Humans may also be incidental hosts for these insects. The species vectors numerous pathogens, including Bartonella schoenbuchensis, Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Due to short time feeding on humans, usually painless bites, an initially small trace at site bite, symptoms reported by patient not associated with deer ked...
A new multi-criteria method of evaluation and assessment the ecological status lakes is proposed. It based on macrophytes analysis integrated with geomorphological, landscape catchment sources threats. total 22 in Transboundary Biosphere Reserve ‘West Polesie’ (Poland) were investigated along trophic (available nutrients) human pressure gradients, testing proposed ESMI TRS indices. Therefore, present indexation included criteria (i.e., land use, phytolittoral area, number plant species)...
Ecological corridors are zones of natural vegetation, which connect with other vegetation strips to create migration routes for animals and plants. The aim our study was investigate the occurrence relative abundance Dermacentor reticulatus in various habitats ecological corridor Wieprz River eastern Poland. Ticks were collected using flagging method seven sites within River, i.e., one longest uninterrupted presence D. adults confirmed each examined sites. autumn peak tick activity dominated...
Insects of the genus Lipoptena are parasitic arthropods with a broad host range. Due to type parasitism (hematophagy), their potential role as vectors pathogens, i.e., Bartonella sp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Rickettsia spp., and Borrelia burgdorferi is considered. As range occurrence has been changing dynamically in recent years infestations humans have increasingly reported, these organisms now subject numerous studies. Our research aimed present molecular characteristics sp. detected...
(Diptera: Hippoboscidae), is a widespread blood-feeding ectoparasite associated with the forest ecosystem. The insect characterized by wide host range and low specificity, which increases risk of feeding on animals that constitute reservoir transmissible pathogens, including
Abstract In urban ecosystems, typically created by humans, it is very difficult to balance the needs of all its inhabitants. Significance nature in cities has been perceived since ancient times. city there are many problems associated with lack or sometimes excess water, as well poor quality. times water resources decline and their progressive degradation, each aquatic ecosystem should be investigated because values. Among ecosystems occurring cities, are: river valleys, natural lakes,...
Abstract Aquatic vegetation greatly impacts lake functions. Forest ecosystems surrounding lakes are effective protection zone of and their associated flora fauna. The presence aquatic plants depends on many factors, including the chemical composition acidity water, shape catchment, angle slope along shorelines management lands. Natural throughout Eastern Europe threatened by anthropogenic activities. systems bogs particularly sensitive to disturbances. aim study was determine influence land...
Abstract The heterogeneity of resource availability shapes animal movements at different spatio-temporal scales. Given that various scales are assumed to be linked, the space use temperate ungulates within seasonal ranges (winter, summer) should related their movement patterns annual scale. In this study, we aimed evaluate level stationarity moose ( Alces alces ) and link within-season use. We analysed ranging behaviour 32 fitted with GPS collars from two study areas in Eastern Poland, where...
Abstract The paper presents the multi-functionality of river valley in ecological, social and economic terms. biotic abiotic elements, as well aspects its protection environmental threats were characterized. Successively, based on above research, public participation SWOT analysis, a variant design was carried out. Finally, concept development Bystrzyca River surroundings developed, mainly aimed at protection, enrichment, recreation fulfill needs accordance with principles landscape...
ABSTRACT The Łęczna-Włodawa Plain, known also as the Łęczna-Wlodawa Lakeland, lies within territory of largest subregion Polesie region, covering over 1,300 km2. main interest Lakeland is that it oldest in Central European Lowlands group about 68 lakes. Among such a large number lakes there exist all trophic types. However, since late 1950’s, enormous dynamics change associated with disappearance oligo- and mesotrophic their transformation into eutrophic, even hypertrophic, have been...
Abstract Rushes belong to the group of plants commonly found in water bodies, fulfilling many important functions. However, their presence depends both on features immediate surroundings and morphology lake. At same time, rush can be an indicator surrounding habitats. The aim this study was determine impact shoreline buffer zone development attributes rushes. Indications lake affected rushes most strongly. We analysed 65 lakes located eastern part Poland, within boundaries Łęczna-Włodawa...
Background: The rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) originates from subtropical and tropical areas of Asia Africa, but it also appears on other continents, mostly as a result trade in rice. It may occur grain fields well storage facilities, cause allergenic reactions. aim this study was to identify the potential antigens all developmental stages S. oryzae, which an allergic response humans. Methods: Sera 30 patients were tested for presence IgE antibodies three life weevil. To protein fractions...
Habitat selection in animals is a hierarchal process that operates across multiple temporal and spatial scales, adapting to changes environmental conditions, human disturbances, predation risks. Despite its significance, previous research often oversimplifies dynamics by categorizing them into broad seasonal diel patterns, overlooking the continuous nature of variability habitat specificity.
