Habitat Suitability Model for the Golden Jackal (Canis aureus) in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Analysis of Possible Interaction with the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) and the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) A GIS Based Modelling Approach Ursula Maria STERRER, BSc BSc 01017343 Innsbruck, December 2019 Master Thesis Submitted at the Leopold Franzens University Innsbruck, Faculty of Biology for achieving the academic degree Master of Science Supervised by: Dr. Johannes Rüdisser Institute of Ecology at the Leopold Franzens University Innsbruck & Stefano Filacorda, PhD Faculty of Science and Technology at the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr. Johannes Rüdisser and Stefano Filacorda, PhD for helping me with this master thesis. Special thanks to Johannes Rüdisser, who helped me with questions concerning my work in GIS. It was also a truly great experience to be able to collect at least part of the data myself in Friuli Venezia Giulia with Stefano Filacorda. Also thank you to all the people involved in the research being conducted in Udine and for letting me use all the data you collected over the last decade, without which this thesis would not be what it is now. I want to thank my family, that has supported me throughout my whole university career and who never fail to give me great advice. I would also like to thank Florin Kunz, who was always there for me and gave me the support I needed in times, when finishing the master thesis seemed far away. Thank you for listening to my struggles and for our great discussions. Thanks to all my fellow EMMA’s who made the last years so great, and especially to Kat, for reading and reviewing this thesis. II ABSTRACT Modelling species distribution and understanding the effects that a guild of predators has on each other is of great interest not only from an ecological point of view but also for management decisions. Golden jackals (Canis aureus) have been expanding their range from eastern Europe to the west and successfully established populations in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The grey wolf (Canis lupus) has made its return to the region recently with the first evidence of reproduction in 2018 in the area of Magredi. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is highly abundant in Friuli Venezia Giulia and the effects the larger predators could have on this animal are still unknown. This study aims to model suitable habitat for the golden jackal to gain more information of this species’ habitat use and altitudinal preferences. Furthermore, I want to investigate possible effects that the three canids could have on each other by interpreting the presence records and camera trap pictures. I modeled the habitat suitability with Maxent. Therefore, we collected presence data on all large and medium-sized mammals occurring in the region with three different methods. In 2019, we added data to an existing dataset (from 2010-2018) of acoustic stimulation surveys of golden jackals. Additionally, we collected presence data through snow & mud tracking and through opportunistically placed camera traps. The habitat suitability model showed, that golden jackals prefer habitats along rivers, forests in the colline and montane altitudinal belt and extensively used agricultural fields. The sandy gravel banks along rivers seem to be especially important. The habitat suitability model indicates, that large parts of the region, especially in the plains in the middle part of the region and the northern mountain valleys, are suitable for the golden jackal. Golden jackals were found in significantly lower altitudes than grey wolves and red foxes respectively. In the region, where reproductive grey wolves are present in the lowlands, the golden jackals stopped answering to acoustic stimulation which could be a sign of intraguild competition (Lapini et al. 2018). From the camera traps, I was able to analyze the habitat use of golden jackals and red foxes in one specific case. Although it is not enough data for statistical analysis, it seems as if red foxes choose to be present in the habitat on different days than the golden jackals, therefore engaging in a behavior of avoidance. Further research is required to get more in depth information on the behavior of the three species. III Nicht nur aus einem ökologischen Blickwinkel, sondern auch für Entscheidungen im Management von Arten, ist es wichtig, Kenntnis über die Artverteilung und Interaktion von Beutegreifern zu erlangen. Der Goldschakal (Canis aureus) hat sein Territorium ausgehend von Ost-Europa erfolgreich in den Westen ausgedehnt und Populationen haben sich auch in Friaul- Julisch-Venetien angesiedelt. Der Wolf (Canis lupus) ist in der jüngsten Zeit ebenfalls in die Region zurückgekehrt und 2018 gab es in Magredi den ersten Reproduktionsnachweis. Der Fuchs (Vulpes vulpes) ist in der Region zahlreich vorhanden, allerdings sind die Effekte, die die größeren Raubtiere auf die Art haben noch weitgehend unbekannt. Diese Arbeit versucht ein Modell geeigneter Lebensräume für den Goldschakal zu erstellen, um mehr über den Lebensraum und die Höhenverteilung der Art zu erfahren. Zusätzlich soll die Interaktion der drei Caniden durch Interpretation von Artnachweise und Fotofallen Bildern erforscht werden. Der geeignete Lebensraum wurde mit Maxent modelliert. Dazu wurden Artnachweise für alle Säugetiere in der Region mit drei verschiedenen Methoden gesammelt. Zu einem existierenden Datensatz (2010-2018) wurden für den Goldschakal 2019 neue Daten durch akustische Stimulation hinzugefügt. Außerdem wurden Artnachweise durch Snow & mud tracking und Fotofallen gesammelt. Der geeignete Lebensraum für Goldschakale scheint vor allem entlang von Flussläufen, in Wäldern der collinen und montanen Höhenstufe und in Gebieten extensiver Landwirtschaft zu finden zu sein. Dabei scheinen die sandigen Schotterbänke entlang von Flüssen von außerordentlicher Bedeutung zu sein. Das Modell zeigt, dass große Teile der Region, vor allem im Flachland in der Mitte der Region und in den Bergtälern des Nordens geeignetes Habitat für den Goldschakal bereitstellen. Goldschakale wurden in signifikant niedrigeren Lagen gefunden als Wölfe und Füchse. Dort wo es reproduktive Wölfe in der Region gibt, haben die Goldschakale aufgehört auf die akustische Stimulation zu antworten, was ein Zeichen für Konkurrenz sein kann (Lapini et al. 2018). Die Ergebnisse der Fotofallen lassen nur eine Analyse in einem spezifischen Fall zu. Obwohl der Datensatz sehr klein ist, konnte die Tendenz gezeigt werden, dass Füchse zwar das gleiche Habitat nutzen, den Goldschakalen aber aus dem Weg gehen indem sie an unterschiedlichen Tagen anwesend sind. Weitere Studien sind nötig, um die Interaktion der drei Arten besser zu erforschen.

    Dingo [Western Australia]

    Farmnote 133/2000 : Dingo [Western Australia] Dingo Farmnote 133/2000 By Peter Thomson, Vertebrate Pest Research Section, Forrestfield The dingo or wild dog (Canis familiaris dingo) is found across most of Western Australia. It is subject to management programs in grazing areas because of its predation of livestock. Name 'Dingo' was the name recorded in the early days of European settlement in New South Wales for the 'dogs' belonging to the local Aborigines. 'Warrigal' is one of the central Australian Aboriginal names for the dingo. Although the dingo was classified in the same species as the domestic dog (Canis familiaris), it was probably never exposed to the processes of artificial selection that eventually produced the modern domestic dog. A suggested change in scientific name to Canis lupus dingo reflects the origin of dingoes from wolves (Canis lupus) and the separation of dingoes from domestic dogs. Farmnote 133/2000 : Dingo [Western Australia] Origin The dingo is a primitive dog that evolved from the Indian or Pallid wolf and became widespread throughout southern Asia between 6000 and 10,000 years ago. It is now believed that dingoes were introduced into Australia about 4000 years ago by Asian seafarers, rather than during an Aboriginal migration. Description Dingoes are anatomically very similar to domestic dogs with which they are able to interbreed. They are usually sandy red or ginger in colour, with white feet and a white tail tip. White dingoes and black and tan individuals are also found. Patchy colouration or brindling is a sign of hybridisation with domestic dogs. Occurrence Dingoes are found through much of the state.

    COMUNE di DRENCHIA Provincia di Udine Piano di razionalizzazione delle società partecipate (art. 20 comma 2 D.lgs. 175/2016) Allegato alla Deliberazione Consiliare n. ______ TITOLO I - Introduzione generale 1. Premessa Dopo il “Piano Cottarelli”, con il quale l’allora commissario straordinario alla spending review auspicava la drastica riduzione delle società partecipate da circa 8.000 a circa 1.000, la legge di stabilità per il 2015 (legge 190/2014) ha imposto agli enti locali l’avvio un “processo di razionalizzazione” che possa produrre risultati già entro fine 2015. Il comma 611 della legge 190/2014 dispone che, allo scopo di assicurare il “coordinamento della finanza pubblica, il contenimento della spesa, il buon andamento dell'azione amministrativa e la tutela della concorrenza e del mercato”, gli enti locali devono avviare un “processo di razionalizzazione” delle società e delle partecipazioni, dirette e indirette, che permetta di conseguirne una riduzione entro il 31 dicembre 2015. Lo stesso comma 611 indica i criteri generali cui si deve ispirare il “processo di razionalizzazione”: a) eliminare le società e le partecipazioni non indispensabili al perseguimento delle finalità istituzionali, anche mediante liquidazioni o cessioni; b) sopprimere le società che risultino composte da soli amministratori o da un numero di amministratori superiore a quello dei dipendenti; c) eliminare le partecipazioni in società che svolgono attività analoghe o similari a quelle svolte da altre società partecipate o da enti pubblici strumentali, anche mediante operazioni di fusione o di internalizzazione delle funzioni; d) aggregare società di servizi pubblici locali di rilevanza economica; e) contenere i costi di funzionamento, anche mediante la riorganizzazione degli organi amministrativi e di controllo e delle strutture aziendali, ovvero riducendo le relative remunerazioni.

    This is the authors’ post-print PDF version of the paper ‘Wild dogs and village dogs in New Guinea: Were they different?’ which was published in Australian Mammalogy. Citation details for the published version are: Dwyer, P. D. and M. Minnegal (2016) Wild dogs and village dogs in New Guinea: Were they different? Australian Mammalogy 38(1): 1-11. DOI: 10.1071/AM15011 WILD DOGS AND VILLAGE DOGS IN NEW GUINEA: WERE THEY DIFFERENT? PETER D. DWYER and MONICA MINNEGAL Recent accounts of wild-living dogs in New Guinea argue that these animals qualify as an “evolutionarily significant unit” that is distinct from village dogs, have been and remain genetically isolated from village dogs and merit taxonomic recognition at, at least, subspecific level. These accounts have paid little attention to reports concerning village dogs. This paper reviews some of those reports, summarizes observations from the interior lowlands of Western Province and concludes that: (1) at the time of European colonization, wild- living dogs and most, if not all, village dogs of New Guinea comprised a single though heterogeneous gene pool; (2) eventual resolution of the phylogenetic relationships of New Guinea wild-living dogs will apply equally to all or most of the earliest New Guinea village-based dogs; and (3) there remain places where the local village-based population of domestic dogs continues to be dominated by individuals whose genetic inheritance can be traced to pre- colonization canid forebears. At this time, there is no firm basis from which to assign a unique Linnaean name to dogs that live as wild animals at high altitudes of New Guinea.

    Slovenes in Italy: a Fragmented Minority

    Europ. Countrys. · 1· 2016 · p. 49-66 DOI: 10.1515/euco-2016-0004 European Countryside MENDELU SLOVENES IN ITALY: A FRAGMENTED MINORITY Ernst Steinicke1, Igor Jelen2, Gerhard Karl Lieb3, Roland Löffler4, Peter Čede5 Received 30 July 2015; Accepted 18 March 2016 Abstract: The study examines the Slovenian-speaking minority in the northern Italian autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It explores the spatial fragmentation in the Slovenian settlement area in Italy and analyzes the socio-economic and demographic processes that exert influence on the minority. The work is based on the critical evaluation of the current status of research, of statistical data from the state censuses and results of own research on site. The Slovenian-language population in the entire region is currently estimated at about 46,000 people. The main settlement area is the eastern border region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which is characterized by different cultural and regional identities. While the Slovenian-speaking population of Friuli focuses more on its cultural and regional distinctions, the majority of the Slovenian-language group in Venezia Giulia considers itself a “national minority.” Keywords: national minority, border area, Slovenes, Italy Zusammenfassung: Die Studie untersucht die slowenischsprachige Minderheit in der norditalienischen autonomen Region Friaul-Julisch Venetien. Sie nimmt Bezug auf die räumliche Fragmentierung im slowenischen Siedlungsgebiet in Italien und analysiert jene sozio-ökonomischen und demographischen Prozesse Einfluss auf die Minderheit ausüben. Die Arbeit beruht auf der kritischen Auswertung des Forschungsstandes, offizieller statistischer Daten sowie eigenen Erhebungen vor Ort. Schätzungen zufolge beläuft sich die slowenische Sprachgruppe in der gesamten Region derzeit auf etwa 46.000 Personen.
