Data on sex structure and growth of the population is crucial for proper game management. Camera traps, which are of reasonably low cost, but very efficient, can potentially measure the aforementioned parameters. The paper objectives was to assess the share of bucks, does and calves in red deer Cervus elaphus population in the area of the Białowieża Forest. Two methods were used: camera traps and...
Obserwowany w Polsce wzrost liczebności zwierzyny grubej, której głównym miejscem bytowania są ekosystemy leśne, dostarczające pokarmu i schronienia powoduje określone konsekw encje przyrodnicze i gospodarcze. W niektórych rejonach kraju liczebność zwierząt kopytnych jest tak duża, że może to zagrażać trwałości lasów. Zdaniem wielu leśników zwierzyna stanowi główną barierę dla osiągania celów hodowlanych...
The aim of the study was to demonstrate how the trophy quality of antlers of the red deer stags living in two large forest complexes in the Mazowsze region (central Poland) differs from those inhabiting other regions of the country. The study used the data describing the body and antlers weight of 272 stags shot in 2005−2014 in two large, separated from each other, forest complexes of Spała and Gostynin...
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 number of wild boars considerably increased in Poland at the beginning of the 21st century. We tested hypotheses that both the level of wild boar populations and rate of the increase in their numbers in Poland in the years 1999−2014 were dependent on some landscape factors, i.e. forest cover, crop field size and maize occurrence. Hunting bag was used as an index of wild boar abundance. The mean...
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...
