摘要: Wolves (Canis lupus) (9 females and 2 males from 4 packs), were radio-tracked in a large Polish woodland Bialowieza Primeval Forest 1996–1999. Based on 360 days of radio tracking with locations taken at 30- or 15-min intervals, daily movement distances (DMDs) wolves their utilization territories analyzed. DMDs averaged 22.1 km for 27.6 males. In reproductive subadult females, varied seasonally, the shortest routes May longest autumn–winter. Little seasonal variation was observed nonbreeding unsuccessfully breeding adult females. An male covered February (mating season). The mean speed travelling 2.2 km/h. Wolves' hunting activity affected length movements, both which higher before than after kill made. With growing abundance prey, became shorter. Snow cover rainfall had negligible effect wolf travel. straight-line ...
