This study intended to know Iberian wild goat Capra pyrenaica Schinz, 1838 feeding strategy in two proximate mountains it recently recolonized, Gerês and Amarela (Peneda-Gerês National Park, PGNP, Portugal). For that purpose we studied species dietary composition using faecal diet microhistological determinations and also its diet selection. Albeit wild goat exhibited an intermediate browse - graze behaviour in the two areas, grazing was more pronounced in Gerês while browsing in Amarela. Both areas presented a dietary shift in spring consisting in an increase on the consumption and preference for graminoids. This feeding strategy extended through summer only in Amarela. Results obtained are congruent with wild goat generalist feeding behaviour in other regions of the Iberian Peninsula and suggest that species feeding strategy in PGNP respond to spatial patterns of resources, specifically of graminoids, and to livestock stocking rates and management.

We describe the first two cases of parasitization by the dipterous parasite Cephenemyia stimulator in roe deer Capreolus capreolus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Extremadura. The first case was detected in an adult male from a private hunting estate (39o24’ N, 5o32’ W) in Berzocana (Cáceres, Spain). A total of 77 C. stimulator larvae were counted, of which 34 corresponded to instar II (L-II) and 43 to instar III (L-III), all of which were located in the upper airways. The second case was detected in another male roe deer from a local hunting estate (39o19’ N, 5o22’ W) in Logrosán (Cáceres, Spain), from which a total of 37 larvae (2 L-II and 35 L-III) were collected, all of which were located in the oronasal cavities. This paper not only provides the first report of this parasite in Extremadura, but also describes the southernmost occurrence of a potentially autochthonous infestation by C. stimulator in European roe deer. We recommend implementing surveillance measures in roe deer populations in Spain and creating strict biosecurity guidelines on translocations, especially regarding animals from affected areas. The presence of C. stimulator in Extremadura suggests it has adapted well to the ecological conditions of the southern Iberian Peninsula.

The contribution of red fox and stone marten as seed dispersers in a Mediterranean mountain protected area is analysed. We gathered 332 scats and analysed seed content in presence and number. The eight species eaten in greater proportion were selected, three of them domesticated. Seed and plant remains are present in half of the scats found. Seed presence is distributed almost equally in summer (29%), autumn (34%) and winter (37%). The most dispersed wild species are Juniperus phoenicea subsp. phoenicea, Rhamnus alaternus and Amelanchier ovalis in a lower proportion. Red fox exploits more domesticated species, which presence in the Natural Park is lower. On the contrary, stone marten consumes more J. phoenicea and A. ovalis than red fox, but shows a certain preference for Prunus avium subsp. avium. Both carnivores might have a relevant role on long distance seed dispersal for R. alaternus, which is normally dispersed by birds and ants. The different exploiting rate among the plant species found compared with their presence in the area leads to think that there exist preferences in these carnivores’ feeding habits. Factors as the percentage of relative pulp weight and smell of the fruits and the habitat of the plant species could be related. Further research is needed to actually know the importance of endozoochorous seed dispersal by carnivores and determine patterns in time and preferences.

Monitoring population trends is essential in wildlife management. In fact, to identify those environmental conditions linked to habitat use and selection is a key task in any conservation plan. Our aim in this work was predict red deer (Cervus elaphus Linnaeus, 1758) colonization in the Lombada National Hunting Area (LNHA), one of the largest wild populations in Portugal. The sharply increase in density and range of red deer over the last decades justify the careful monitoring of this population. A multi-criteria model using the Analytical Hierarchic Process (AHP) and GIS weighted spatial analysis with matrix algebra techniques were applied in this approach. This method was developed in three distinct phases: i) setting the objectives, ii) analysing pairs of factors through the application of a comparison matrix and iii) its synthesis with the weight assignment that followed a predetermined numeric range according to the ecological requirements of the study species. The variables used in the red deer habitat suitability model included the hydrographic network, asphalted roads, relief aspects and land use. From October 2010 to March 2011, a total of 129 observations along line transects were recorded and used to validate the final model. By using the AUC method it was obtained a success rate of 72%. Our results suggest that this method would be applied on a larger scale being suitable to predict red deer expansion. To our knowledge, this is the first study performed in Portugal using this methodological approach to assess the red deer-habitat relationships.
监测种群趋势对野生动物管理至关重要。事实上,在任何保护计划中,确定与栖息地使用和选择有关的环境条件是一项关键任务。本研究的目的是预测马鹿(Cervus elaphus Linnaeus, 1758)在葡萄牙最大的野生种群之一伦巴达国家狩猎区(Lombada National Hunting Area, LNHA)的殖民。在过去的几十年里,马鹿的密度和范围的急剧增加证明了对这一种群进行仔细监测的必要性。该方法采用层次分析法(AHP)和基于矩阵代数的GIS加权空间分析相结合的多准则模型。该方法分为三个不同的阶段:i)设定目标;ii)通过应用比较矩阵分析因子对;iii)根据研究物种的生态要求,按照预定的数字范围分配权重。马鹿生境适宜性模型中使用的变量包括水文网络、沥青路面、地形和土地利用。从2010年10月到2011年3月,共记录了129个沿线样带的观测数据,并用于验证最终模型。采用AUC法,成功率为72%。结果表明,该方法适用于马鹿种群扩张的大规模预测。据我们所知,这是第一次在葡萄牙使用这种方法来评估赤鹿与栖息地的关系。

We have monitored the presence of roe deer in 25 municipalities in the occidental mountians of Málaga. We estimated roe deer abundance (pellet groups counts/km) and relative density (deer/km2) by means of distance sampling and defecation rate conversion. We also analyzed the relationships between roe deer abundance and habitat vegetation and coverages by means of GLM models. Results are presented by hidrological basins. We found that roe deer relative density varied between 0.18 to 2.49 deer/km2. The highest values were found in the Hozgarganta river and the Genal river valley. The lowest was in the mountains around the Guadalhorce river basin. Roe deer abundance was positively related to the vicinity of roe deer population in the Cádiz mountains and to the coverage of mixed forests of oaks, pines and chestnuts. Roe deer abundance was negatively related to urban landuses, farmlands and dense pine forests. Our results are coherent with the hyphotesis of an expanding roe deer population in the Málaga mountains.

Ethological studies are essential for proper husbandry of wild animals in captivity. In this paper we analyze the patterns of activity throughout the day (circadian rhythm) and throughout the year, of 25 Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) belonging to the Captive Breeding Program. The annual circadian rhythm in lynxes reaches two maximum peaks: one at dawn and another at sunset (with average activity levels of 60 and 76%, respectively). Between these two peaks we found two minimums of activity, one during the night (43 %) and another during the day (25 %). We also found that the circadian pattern closely resembles the pattern described for the wild population. Rainfall and hour of light do influence on activity, whereas the moon phase does not. The average daily activity for the whole year was 47.8 ± 16.8%. The months presenting less activity were July, August and September coinciding with the warmest period of the year and the most active months were November, March and April. The sex of the lynxes do not influence the average daily activity, however CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and the interaction between sex and CKD, does. CKD affected animals are less active than the healthy individuals, that is more evident in males than females. Activity levels in males were similar to those of females when they are healthy, but decrease greatly when they are ill.

The results show the existence of a clear genetic structure, where the Iberian populations of mongooses have their own identity: high genetic variability and differentiation of the North African populations (their populations genetically closer). The different genetic parameters studied suggest some stability in the Iberian population. It is assumed that populations of North Africa colonised the Iberian Peninsula in the Pleistocene, by the way of communication corridors that were open between the two continents in the Strait of Gibraltar, as a result of fluctuations in sea levels between the glacial and interglacial periods.
