Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography conservation. Expert maps often represent only available distributional play increasing role conservation assessments macroecology. We provide for the native ranges all extant mammal species harmonised taxonomy Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) mobilised from two sources, Handbook Mammals World (HMW) Illustrated Checklist...
Introgressive hybridization can pose a serious threat to endangered species which have an overlapping distribution such as in the case of two polecat species, Mustela eversmanii and M. putorius, Europe. The population size steppe is known continuously shrink, whereas its sister European polecat, still somehow widespread. In this study, we perform analysis using microsatellite (SSR) genomic (SNP) data sets identify natural hybrids between polecats. Four populations were genotyped for eight...
Abstract The systematics of the genus S icista is unclear, mostly because high level chromosomal variability within genus. One most challenging groups for systematists steppic subtilis species group that extends from central E urope to L ake B aikal. We present a systematic review these uropean southern birch mice using an integrative taxonomic approach. In this review, we evaluate degree genetic and morphological differentiation complex by analysing 12 populations, propose new treatment...
Abstract The Southern birch mouse (
Nyctalus lasiopterus is one of the rarest bat species in Europe and there little information on roosting requirements habitat preference this species. In recent times two papers have been published regarding carnivory small birds by (Dondini Vergari 2000, Ibanez et al. 2001). these articles some notes are also presented roosts (2004) give a summary knowledge ecology N. lasiopterus, including data behaviour. known as typical tree-dwelling bat, trees all year round. It has found cavities very...
Poisoning caused by coumarin-type anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) stands as the predominant method for controlling rodents globally. ARs, through secondary poisoning, pose a significant threat to predators due their lethal and sublethal effects. We examined concentration of accumulated ARs in liver samples mostly road-killed steppe polecats (Mustela eversmanii) European (M. putorius) collected throughout Hungary between 2005 2021. The polecat were found mainly from Eastern Hungary, while...
Abstract European mustelids include the polecat, Mustela putorius , and steppe M. eversmanii . Both occur sympatrically in Pannonian Basin, where hungarica represents westernmost part of latter species they allegedly hybridize. We investigated morphological relationships sympatric allopatric populations these with representative sampling, taxonomic geographic coverage. evaluated inter- intraspecific patterns differentiation 20 cranial measurements four external traits by distance-based...
We report new records for the inadequately known Southern birch mouse Sicista subtilis in Poland. This species was found Poland 1994 by catching a live specimen hand and to date there has been no other data on this species. The Polish population is most likely an isolated of S. but its taxonomic status not studied yet. According our results, it morphometric variation or subspecies subtilis. Its craniometrical size general smaller than that Ukrainian "core" population. Morphometrically,...
The Altai falcon from Central Asia always attracted the attention of humans. Long considered a totemic bird in its native area, modern falconers still much appreciated this large-bodied and mighty prey due to rarity unique look. peculiar body characteristics halfway between saker (Falco cherrug) gyrfalcon (F. rusticolus) triggered debates about contentious taxonomy. weak phylogenetic signal associated with traditional genetic methods could not resolve uncertainty. Here, we address...
Abstract Temporal activity differences facilitate species’ coexistence by reducing interspecific competition. Such patterns can be studied via diel analysis, but obtaining data in cryptic mammals is difficult. We investigated the annual and pattern of such a small mammal, endangered Hungarian birch mouse ( Sicista trizona ), its only known habitat. employ trail cameras for first time to reveal sminthid species. Data acquisition included spring summer seasons between 2019 2022 was extended...
Canine morbillivirus (canine distemper virus, CDV) is a member of the Paramyxoviridae family. serious viral disease that affects many mammalian species, including members Mustelidae These animals have an elusive nature, which makes related virological studies extremely challenging. There significant knowledge gap about evolution their viruses and possible effects these to population dynamics host animals. Spleen lung tissue samples 170 road-killed mustelids belonging six species were...
We studied the impact of water level changes on dynamic small mammal communities in Kis-Balaton wetland area Hungary between 2005-2008.Reconstruction areas is often associated with flooding wetlands.These processes cause enormous for mammals living there.During this period maximum change was 60 cm.At high study totally flooded; whereas dry occur during lower levels.We noted that Neomys fodiens and Arvicola amphibius live only deep water; Sorex species other rodents require while anomalus...
Abstract The common hamster ( Cricetus cricetus ) occupies a controversial position among mammals inhabiting agricultural areas, as it is possibly the only critically endangered species that legally targeted by lethal control methods, making conflict‐generating pest. We surveyed various stakeholders, agrarian consultants, wildlife rangers, and residents for first time in Hungary, with two interrelated questionnaires to obtain accurate information about populations, learn participants...
A vadon élő fajok naprakész listái nem egyszerűen csak arról az igényünkről szólnak, hogy tudjuk, mi is él körülöttünk – ez alapja a nemzeti és nemzetközi törvényi szabályozásoknak, védett fokozottan köre meghatározásának, CITES mellékleteinek, vagy éppen IUCN Vörös Listájának. hazai fajokról szóló jogi szabályozás felülvizsgálata, valamint európai emlőstérképezési program (EMMA2) kapcsán aktuálissá vált emlősök névjegyzékének megújítása is. Új rendszeres megjelenése, korábban alkalmilag...

A mezei hörcsög és a vadászatára nagymértékben specializálódott molnárgörény életmódját, illetve tavaszi nyári napi aktivitási mintázatát Békés megye déli részén, egy 2 km hoszszú mezsgyeszakaszon vizsgáltuk kameracsapdákkal.Ezen területen legalább 4-5 talált menedéket kutatási időszakban, ami kifejezetten magas egyedsűrűségnek számít ahhoz képest, hogy az ország jelentős részéről eltűnt, vagy egyedsűrűsége kimutathatósági küszöb alatt lehet.A szintén gyakori faj ezen területen, helyenként...
The aim of this review is to provide a brief summary, based on decade and half intensive research, the past future rodent species currently known as Hungarian birch mouse, Sicista trizona (Frivaldszky, 1865). endemic Carpathian Basin listed Endangered by International Union for Conservation Nature. Past evidence reinterpreted an updated perspective species’ probable historical distribution discuss expectations future. In addition, summary previously unpublished results provided: vegetation...
