Socialization chamois (\kur{Rupicapra rupicapra}), in the new exposition in the zoo Hluboká
BAŽANTOVÁ, Jiřina
Mountain chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) inhabit the mountain areas in the Alpine countries and the Asia Minor. In the Bohemia it was introduced in Lužické hory (1907) and Jeseníky (1913). Chamois mostly create large numerous groups, which are leaded by the most experienced female. Males live either in the small groups or solitary. The aim of this work was the ethological study, which was carried out in the zoo Hluboka and in the zoo Olomouc, and further comparison of breeding in these zoos. For processing an ethological study the direct observation method was used. Observation in the zoo Hluboka took its place for 7 months, in the morning and afternoon times. Ethological picture was carried out separately for each individual of the group (one male and two females). Except a direct observation there were used two photo traps from which records were processed for all group of animals together. In the zoo Olomouc observation was carried out in two days and executed for all group of animals together. From observations was detected that chamois in both zoos had spent the most of the time by food intaking and lying. Except the female Andulka from the zoo Hluboka, which had spent the most of the time in the stable (out of sight). Certain anti-sociality had caused her dominant female Eliška. In the zoo Olomouc physical activities had been the highest in the morning and evening hours, while in the zoo Hluboka this hadn't been observed. Three main factors which may have an influence on breeding of chamois in the human care were selected: number of animals, climate conditions and the situation of exposition.
Preliminary analysis of reproductive success in the Northern chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) from NP Grand Paradiso
Poláková, Radka
Paternity analysis was performed on a study population of chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) from 107 feaces samles. DNA was extracted from samples using commercial kits (Qiagen). Based on analysis of 17 microsatellite loci was found that a 6 different males sired a total of 9 kids. Male M13_16 sired more than half the kids. Each of the five other males sired always only one kid.\n
Identification of parentage in chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) from NP Gran Paradiso
Poláková, Radka
We analysed 47 faecal samples of chamois (32 samples of kids and 15 samples of females). The remaining DNA samples comprised 28 tissue samples of males and other females. Tissue samples were stored in 96% ethanol and faecal samples were placed straight into silicagel. DNA from faecal and tissue samples was extracted using commercial kits. Parentage was determined using the likelihood-based approach in CERVUS 3.0 and these results were confirmed by the program ML-Relate. We found parentage in the case of seven males that sired ten kids.
