Abstract

Abstract The Yellow-throated marten Martes flavigula is one of the least studied species within the genus Martes and there is contradictory information regarding its daily activity, spanning from diurnal to nocturnal or cathemeral. Our long-term studies of the daily and seasonal activity of the Yellow-throated marten were carried out in five protected areas of Primorsky Krai (Russian Far East) using a large-scale network of camera traps from 2010 to 2021. The aim of the study was to find out the pattern of daily activity of the species, its changes over the seasons and in different territories of the region. We found that the Yellow-throated marten had a pronounced diurnal activity pattern, including one or two detection peaks per day. The species is less active at dusk and almost inactive at night in this part of its range. Two clusters with different patterns of marten activity were identified in the protected areas of Primorsky Krai: with one pronounced peak around noon in the continental part with a more severe climate and smoothed activity in coastal areas with milder climatic conditions. Seasonal detection has two peaks in April-May and October, which corresponds to species biological requirements.

相机陷阱揭示了俄罗斯远东地区黄喉貂的活动模式

黄喉貂黄喉貂是马貂属中研究最少的物种之一，关于其日常活动的信息相互矛盾，从白天到夜间或导管活动。从2010年到2021年，我们在滨海边疆区(俄罗斯远东)的五个保护区使用大规模相机陷阱网络对黄喉貂的日常和季节性活动进行了长期研究。该研究的目的是找出该物种的日常活动模式，其随季节和该地区不同领土的变化。我们发现黄喉貂具有明显的昼夜活动模式，包括每天一到两个检测峰。该物种在黄昏时活动较少，在夜间几乎不活动。在滨海边疆区(Primorsky Krai)的保护区内，确定了两个具有不同模式的貂类活动集群:在气候较为恶劣的大陆部分，中午左右出现了一个明显的高峰，而在气候条件较温和的沿海地区，貂类活动较为平缓。季节性检测有4 - 5月和10月两个高峰，符合物种生物学要求。

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.
