摘要: Home-range sizes, movements, and daily activity of wolves (Canis lupus L. 1758) were studied in Dalmatia, Croatia 1998–2001. The total home ranges (100% MCP) two packs 160 km2 141 km2, mean=150.5 km2. Core areas (50% kernel) 26.2 3.3 respectively. Differences core area sizes influenced by human activity—hunting sheep grazing. Compared with random locations, wolf locations closer to the nearest water source (mean=937 m) farther from houses (mean=653 m). Wolves significantly more active during night than day (activity indexes 0.53 vs. 0.35), was higher summer (0.58), lower winter (0.48). A correlation found between distances traveled index (r=0.58, p=0.003). Home range, seasonal variations home-range size, habitat use, Dalmatia oriented make compromise danger proximity humans also benefit human-related food sources.
