The aim of the study was to evaluate arguments for hunting and its impact on forest management and conservation in national parks as well as areas directly adjacent to them. The issue was examined using the example of the Magura National Park (MNP) for which data on the number of deer and predatory mammals included in the statistical yearbooks for 2013–2014 were available. The quality and size of...
The present paper focuses on three species belonging to the family Hippoboscidae: Hippobosca equina, Lipoptena cervi and L. fortisetosa – haematophagus ectoparasites typical of cervids. In Europe, the forest flies (H. equina) are observed mainly in horses and cattle, but the primary host of this parasite is the red deer (Cervus elaphus). The host group of deer keds Lipoptena sp. include different...
The results of the inventory of damage caused by roe deer in a 2−year−old apple orchard in central Poland permitted to evaluate the browsing intensity as well as the relationship between biometric characteristics of trees and browsing intensity. The research showed that damage caused by the roe deer was mainly caused by shoot browsing, then rubbing the velvet antlers against trees and bark stripping...
The aim of the study was to verify the hypothesis that the quality of male roe deer hunted in the Kielce region depends on the selected characteristics of the place of their earlier habitat (forest cover, soil) and the age of the individuals. As a criteria to verify that hypothesis we chose carcass weight, weight and height of the antlers and skull dimensions. Material consisted of carcasses and antlers...
The aim of the study was to determine the abundance of winter food of cervids and the capacity of the Game Breeding Centre 'Krystyna' administered by the Kluczbork Forest District (southern Poland). Research was based on the estimation of shoots available for cervids in winter time. Evaluation of annual increment of biomass was calculated on 160 circular plots, on which occurrence of trees and shrubs...
The paper presents the first Polish bibliography on mouflon that includes papers published in the years 1945−2014. Forty seven publications show diversified interest in mouflon depending on its population size. Three different periods of research activity and publishing were distinguished. The first one (1945−1960) called the ‘opening balance' was the time of assessment of mouflon in Poland after...
More than 3000 direct observations of 5900 mooses were used to investigate the sex structure and growth of the population living in the Kampinoski National Park (KNP, central Poland). The study used data collected by the park service since 1998. To confirm the hypothesis that the random observations will accurately describe the population structure the experiment was performed with a theoretical population...
Celem badań była charakterystyka biometryczna i kraniometryczna borsuka (Meles meles) w zależności od płci i wieku w wybranych obwodach Zarządu Okręgowego Polskiego Związku Łowieckiego w Piotrkowie Trybunalskim. Łącznie pomierzono 29 czaszek i 23 tuszki borsuków. Do celów opracowania wykorzystano podstawowe wymiary ciała charakteryzujące wielkość osobników: długość ciała, wysokość w kłębie, obwód...
