Raba krmišč pri navadnem muflonu (Ovis orientalis musimon) na Gorenjskem

Abstract

Navadni muflon (Ovis orientalis musimon) je danes v Sloveniji najštevilčnejša, vendar zelo slabo raziskana tujerodna vrsta parkljarjev. Tudi drugod po Evropi so raziskave te vrste redke, še zlasti glede rabe krmišč, čeprav je dopolnilno krmljenje pogosta praksa v mnogih državah. V pričujoči raziskavi smo s pomočjo avtomatskih kamer ugotavljali sestavo tropov muflonov, ki so obiskovali pet zimskih krmišč na Gorenjskem. Spremljali smo tudi cirkadiano dinamiko obiskov krmišč ter pojavljanje drugih vrst divjadi pri krmiščih. Povprečna velikost tropov muflonov je znašala 3,5 živali; najpogosteje so krmišča obiskovale samice z mladiči. Zabeležili smo dva viška obiskov krmišč, in sicer okoli sončnega vzhoda in zahoda. Krmišča za muflone je obiskovalo še šest drugih vrst divjadi, med katerimi je bil najdominantnejši navadni jelen (Cervus elaphus). Spremljanje krmišč z uporabo avtomatskih kamer se je izkazalo za učinkovit način spremljanja populacije muflonov in njihove rabe krmišč.

Secondary title:	Use of artificial feeding sites by European mouflon (Ovis orientalis musimon) in the Gorenjska region, Slovenia
Secondary abstract:	Mouflon (Ovis orientalis musimon) is currently the most abundant but poorly studied introduced ungulate species in Slovenia. Studies are rare also elsewhere across Europe, especially in respect to the use of artificial feeding sites, although supplemental feeding is common practice in many countries. We used camera-traps to determine group structure of mouflons using five winter feeding sites in the Gorenjska region (Julian Alps, NW Slovenia). We also studied their circadian activity and the use of mouflon feeding sites by other species. Average group size was 3.5 animals and feeding sites were most often used by ewes with their offspring. We recorded two peaks in circadian use of feeding sites at sunrise and sunset. We recorded six other species using the feeding sites, red deer (Cervus elaphus) being the most dominant among them. Use of camera-traps at the artificial feeding sites proved to be an efficient method to monitor mouflon population and their use of feeding sites.
