Abstract

Abstract The research was carried out in 6 territories located in oak forests of Slobozhanshchyna in 2007–2016. Family home ranges were determined using the average nearest neighbour distance between all setts of a sett system for the badgers and between breeding burrows for the foxes. The use of fox and badger family home ranges in different seasons and years was estimated by changes in the use of burrows at the monitoring site of Gomilshanski Lisy National Nature Park. In the oak forests, 173 burrows were studied, among which 75 are used by badgers and 45 by foxes. The area of most of the badger family home ranges in the oak forests is 28–88 hа. The area of the fox family home ranges in the oak forests is 86 to 892 ha. In the oak forests of Slobozhanshchyna, badger and fox family home ranges correspond to the data for similar biotopes in Europe. Seasonal changes of the badger family home range used at the monitoring site in Gomilshanski Lisy NNP in general correspond to literature radio tracking data. Changes in use of the fox family home range de pend on fluctuations of the abundance of rodents.

乌克兰斯洛博zhanshchyna橡树林中红狐，秃鹫(食肉目，犬科)和欧洲獾(食肉目，鼬科)的栖息地

本研究于2007-2016年在位于Slobozhanshchyna橡树林的6个区域进行。家庭活动范围的确定采用了獾和狐狸的繁殖洞穴之间的平均近邻距离。在Gomilshanski Lisy国家自然公园的监测地点，通过洞穴使用的变化来估计狐狸和獾在不同季节和年份的家庭范围的使用情况。在橡树林中，研究了173个洞穴，其中75个是獾使用的，45个是狐狸使用的。大多数獾家庭在橡树林中的范围是28-88公顷。狐狸家族居住在橡树林中的面积为86至892公顷。在Slobozhanshchyna的橡树林中，獾和狐狸的家庭范围与欧洲类似生物群落的数据相对应。在Gomilshanski Lisy NNP监测点使用的獾家庭活动范围的季节变化总体上符合文献无线电跟踪数据。狐狸家庭使用范围的变化取决于啮齿动物数量的波动。
