GLI UNGULATI IN ITALIA: STATUS, GESTIONE E RICERCA SCIENTIFICA

摘要: Ungulates in Italy: status, management and scientific research. Italy have experienced the last decade a further increase of their distribution and, pos- sibly, consistence. This trend has been very obvious central northern part Italy, on contrary, south ungulates populations is quite slow if any. A partial exception Sardinia where Sardinian red deer (Cervus elaphus corsicanus) reintroduced into four provinces island. In this frame relevance increa- se for wolves (Canis lupus) must be emphasized. also general development decade, even deep differences between central-north still persist. Well conducted rein- troductions allowed to fill many gaps species distribution. hunting bags size, suggest an increased importance activities Italy. Selective with rifles cervids bovids was established wide areas north mainly as consequence roe (Capreolus capreolus) widespread pre- sence. Wild boar (Sus scrofa) represents problem ungulate Almost 50% wild hunted does not collect bag statistics, only 35% them try roughly estimate consistence populations. The traditional dogs expanded recently illegally reintroduced, Alps region, serious more rational correct practices. New possibi- lities future alpine ibex (Capra ibex), are considered.
