  • Activity of the European Mole Talpa Europaea (Talpidae, Insectivora) in Its Burrows in the Republic of Mordovia
    FORESTRY IDEAS, 2021, vol. 27, No 1 (61): 59–67 ACTIVITY OF THE EUROPEAN MOLE TALPA EUROPAEA (TALPIDAE, INSECTIVORA) IN ITS BURROWS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MORDOVIA Alexey Andreychev Department of Zoology, National Research Mordovia State University, Saransk 430005, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: 16 February 2021 Accepted: 18 April 2021 Abstract A new method of studying the activity of European mole Talpa europaea (Linnaeus, 1758) with use of digital portable voice recorders is developed. European mole demonstrates polyphasic activity pattern – three peaks of activity alternate three peaks of relative rest. Moles are found to have activity peaks from 23:00 to 3:00 h, from 6:00 to 9:00 h and from 15:00 to 18:00 h, and three periods of rest: from 3:00 to 6:00 h, from 9:00 to 15:00 h and from 18:00 to 23:00 h. Mole’s rest is relative since animals show low activity during periods of rest. Average daily interval between mole passes is 2.5 h. Duration of audibility of continuous single European mole pass by the mi- crophone varies from 11 to 120 seconds. On average, it is 37.5 seconds.

  • Revised and Commented Checklist of Mammal Species of the Romanian Fauna
    REVISED AND COMMENTED CHECKLIST OF MAMMAL SPECIES OF THE ROMANIAN FAUNA DUMITRU MURARIU Abstract. Due to the permanent influences of different factors (habitat degradation andfragmentation, deforestation, infrastructure and urbanization, natural extension or decreasing of some species’ distribution, increasing number of alien species etc.), from time to time the faunistic structure of a certain area is changing. As a result of the permanent and increasing anthropic and invasive species’ pressure, our previous checklist of recent mammals from Romania (since 1984) became out of date. A number of 108 taxa are mentioned in this checklist, representing 7 orders of mammals: Insectivora (10 species), Chiroptera (30 sp.), Lagomorpha (2 sp.), Rodentia (35 sp.), Cetacea (3 sp.), Carnivora (19 sp.), Artiodactyla (8 sp.). In this list are mentioned the scientific and vernacular names (in Romanian and English languages), species distribution and conservation status, according to the Romanian regulations. Thus, only 21 species have stable populations while 76 have populations in decline or in drastic decline. Other categories are not evaluated or even present an increase in their population. Key words: species and subspecies, recent mammals, distribution, conservation. 1. INTRODUCTION MURARIU published ‘La Liste de Mammifère actuels de Roumanie; noms scientifiques et Roumains’ in 1984. That moment represented an astonishing progress in the knowledge of mammals, only in two decades. A number of 3,500 species (belonging to 1,000 genera) were reported by DAVID & GOLLEY (1965) and 4,170 species were reported by HONACKI et al. (1982). Description of new mammal species is continuing, and WILSON & REEDER DEEANN (2005) presented “... the taxonomic classification and distribution of the more than 5,400 species of mammals that exist today”.

  • Seasonal Changes in Tawny Owl (Strix Aluco) Diet in an Oak Forest in Eastern Ukraine
    Turkish Journal of Zoology Turk J Zool (2017) 41: 130-137 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/zoo-1509-43 Seasonal changes in Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) diet in an oak forest in Eastern Ukraine 1, 2 Yehor YATSIUK *, Yuliya FILATOVA 1 National Park “Gomilshanski Lisy”, Kharkiv region, Ukraine 2 Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, Faculty of Biology, V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Kharkiv, Ukraine Received: 22.09.2015 Accepted/Published Online: 25.04.2016 Final Version: 25.01.2017 Abstract: We analyzed seasonal changes in Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) diet in a broadleaved forest in Eastern Ukraine over 6 years (2007– 2012). Annual seasons were divided as follows: December–mid-April, April–June, July–early October, and late October–November. In total, 1648 pellets were analyzed. The most important prey was the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) (41.9%), but the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) (17.8%) dominated in some seasons. According to trapping results, the bank vole was the most abundant rodent species in the study region. The most diverse diet was in late spring and early summer. Small forest mammals constituted the dominant group in all seasons, but in spring and summer their share fell due to the inclusion of birds and the common spadefoot (Pelobates fuscus). Diet was similar in late autumn, before the establishment of snow cover, and in winter. The relative representation of species associated with open spaces increased in winter, especially in years with deep snow cover, which may indicate seasonal changes in the hunting habitats of the Tawny Owl.

  • The Mammals of the Caucasus
    planifrons Falc. and Equus stenonis Cocchi have been identified. The breccia is underlain by a layer of doleritic lava and is covered by lacustrine sands and clays. The lake sediments are overlain by a layer of dolorite (Zaridze and Tatrishvili, 1948). Thus, in that area, the mammals lived and died during a period when the volcanos in the Lesser Caucasus were dornnant.

  • A Review of the Results Obtained During the Field Study Group Summer Camps of the Dutch Mammal Society, 1986-2014
    A review of the results obtained during the Field Study Group summer camps of the Dutch Mammal Society, 1986-2014 Jan Piet Bekker1, Kees Mostert2, Jan P.C. Boshamer3 & Eric Thomassen4 1Zwanenlaan 10, NL-4351 RX Veere, the Netherlands, e-mail: [email protected] 2Palamedesstraat 74, NL-2612 XS Delft, the Netherlands 3Vogelzand 4250, NL-1788 MP Den Helder, the Netherlands 4Middelstegracht 28a, NL-2312 TX Leiden, the Netherlands Abstract: The 28 summer camps of the Field Study Group of the Dutch Mammal Society organised between 1986 and 2014 are reviewed here. Over time the Field Study Group gradually spread out its activities throughout Europe, including former Eastern Bloc countries. Camp locations were found through contacts in host countries, who also assist in the preparation of camp activities. Out of a total of 160 participants from the Netherlands and Belgium, 80 attended a summer camp once and 80 joined more than once; 116 participants from local origin were active dur- ing these camps. For the 128 mammal species found, the observation techniques used are described. Overall, 7,662 small mammals were caught with live-traps and 990 bats were caught in mist nets. Among the trapped mammals, 421 casualties were counted, predominantly common and pygmy shrews in northern European countries. In pellets, pre- dominantly from barn owls, 21,620 small mammals were found. With detectors, 3,908 bats could be identified. Caves and (old) buildings were explored for bats, and the results of these surveys made up a large part of the total number of bats found. Sightings (> 1,740) and tracks & signs (> 1,194) revealed most of all the presence of carnivora and even- toed ungulates (Artiodactyla).

  • National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan of Georgia
    Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan - Georgia – Tbilisi, 2005 Foreword Georgia signed the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1994, thus accepting responsibility to safeguard the nation’s rich diversity of plant, animal, and microbial life, to begin using biological resources in sustainable way, and to ensure equitable sharing of benefits from biodiversity. Later the country joined other conventions including the Convention on Climate Change, the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, CITES and the Bonn Convention. As a signatory to these important international environmental treaties, Georgia enters the world scene with the potential for joining the most advanced nations in the field of environmental protection. At the present moment of transition, Georgia has a unique opportunity to use the early experiences of other countries, and avoid irreversible changes in the quality of its environment. The national legislation on environmental protection adopted over the past few years provides an adequate legal basis for this, although further elaboration and reinforcement of the existing legislation is needed. With the Ministry of Environment being currently reorganised and assuming broader responsibilities, Georgia’s institutional arrangements for environmental protection already has the necessary structure for improving the quality of the environment throughout the country. The role of non-governmental groups has been very important in resolving problems related to nature conservation. Georgia has shown an excellent example of co-operation between governmental and non-governmental organizations in the field of environment, and particularly in the field of biodiversity conservation. After signing the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Georgian Government immediately acted to develop a Biodiversity Country Study, in partnership with UNEP, and implemented by NACRES, a local conservation organisation.

Red-footed falcon (Falco vespertinus) preys predominantly on larger insect species with a supplementary portion of smaller vertebrates. In the breeding periods 2014 and 2016 their food supply, focusing on Orthoptera, Mantodea, Rodentia and Eulipotyphla, was analysed at five historical nesting sites of the species in Slovakia. Preference for these prey groups in the diet was also studied at the last active nesting site in this country. Overall we recorded 45 Orthoptera species (of which 23 species are known as the food of the red-footed falcon), one species of Mantodea, 10 species of Rodentia (of which 2 species are known as the food of the red-footed falcon) and 5 species of the Eulipotyphla order in the food supply. With regard to the availability of the falcons' preferred food, in both years the most suitable was the Tvrdošovce site, which continuously showed the greatest range and abundance of particular species. In the interannual comparison the insects showed lower variability in abundance than the small mammals. In 2014 the growth of the common vole (Microtus arvalis) population culminated and with the exception of a single site (Bodza) a slump in abundance was recorded in 2016.
