Abstract

In this work, we have analysed the different causes of admissions of stone martens (Martes foina), genets (Genetta genetta) and pine martens (Martes martes) in two rehabilitation centres in Castilla y León (Spain) during 32 years (1991–2022). The results indicate that the most important factor for stone martens was road kills with 227 martens (53.4 %) followed by electrocutions with 90 martens (21.2 %). From genets, 94 of them (68.6 %) were due to roadkill and 7 (5.1 %) were due to electrocution. The most important cause of admission for pine martens was road kills with 22 (88 %) and 1 (4 %) due to electrocution. Possible explanations for the observed high mortality of stone martens in electric pylons are discussed.

触电是中食肉动物死亡的一个重要原因
在这项研究中,我们分析了卡斯蒂利亚-莱昂(西班牙)两个康复中心在 32 年内(1991-2022 年)收治石貂(Martes foina)、玄猫(Genetta genetta)和松貂(Martes martes)的不同原因。结果表明,石貂的最主要因素是公路捕杀,共有 227 只(占 53.4%),其次是电击,共有 90 只(占 21.2%)。在鼬属动物中,94 只(68.6%)是因为路杀,7 只(5.1%)是因为触电。松貂入院的最主要原因是路杀,有 22 只(88 %)是路杀,1 只(4 %)是电击。本文讨论了在电塔中观察到的石貂高死亡率的可能原因。

期刊介绍: Mammalia is an international, multidisciplinary, bimonthly journal devoted to the inventory, analysis and interpretation of mammalian diversity. It publishes original results on all aspects of the systematics and biology of mammals with a strong focus on ecology, including biodiversity analyses, distribution habitats, diet, predator-prey relationships, competition, community analyses and conservation of mammals. The journal also accepts submissions on sub-fossil or recently extinct mammals.
