摘要: We studied the socio-spatial ecology of Eurasian badger (Meles meles) along altitudinal gradient (250-1257 m a.s.l.) Western Carpathians (Southern Poland), 2004-2009. Family groups were small (mean 2.3 individuals) and home-ranges large 5.42 km2, MCP 100%), which gave a low population density (2.2 individuals/10 km2). Badgers foraged mainly in foothills, irrespective altitude at their sett was located. They mostly searched for food meadows, pastures arable fields (34.4% telemetry locations), or among shrubs (33.9%). killed by hunters (0.37 km2 annually), wolves (0.07 The influenced abundance earthworms hunting pressure, while size shape territories determined distribution foraging grounds.
