The fine-scale utilization of forest edges by mammalian mesopredators related to patch size and conservation issues in Central European farmland
ČERVINKA, Jaroslav
In this study we investigated the edge effect in relation to different forest fragment size. We found strong edge preferences for the whole community of autochthonous carnivore species in all fragments regardless the fragment size. Our findings confirm that mammalian mesopredators strongly prefer habitat edges and small forest fragments.
Distribution of carnivores inside and at the edge of forest habitats
ČERVINKA, Jaroslav
This thesis is focused on habitat preferences of carnivores in fragmented landscape. By using the scent station method, fine-scale utilization of forest-farm edges by mammalian predators in dependence on patch size was examined. Preferences for edge structures was detected and these structures were equally utilized by carnivores in large as well as in small forest fragments. This shows that edge effect was present in all fragments regardless the patch size.
