摘要: We radiotracked 7 European minkMustela lutreola Linnaeus, 1761 (5 males and 2 females), to determine their distribution, size temporal changes of home range in an area southwestern Europe, where American minkM. vison was not established. Size ranges varied from 11 17 km along watercourses were 0.6 3.6 females. Home larger than those found previous studies. Most females captured (either or not) within the males. Males occupied adjoining river sections with minimal overlap, suggesting intrasexually exclusive spacing pattern for Each month used new stretches, mainly tributaries; meanwhile they showed a steady use stem section. Resting sites beneath dense brambles ofRubus patches located bank.
