Due to the importance of four countries for existence of the Alpe-Adria subpopulation of Griffon vultures, it is advisable that any measures taking for birds in any of four countries should be coordinated transboundary, between experts from all four countries. Changes in subpopulation in one country can cause significant changes in others too. For...

Le pratiche zootecniche estensive in aree alpine, oltre a rappresentare un patrimonio culturale e tradizionale, svolgono un ruolo fondamentale in termini di servizi ecosistemici offerti. Uno dei principali svantaggi legati a suddette pratiche deriva dalla potenziale interazione negativa con i predatori che vivono sul territorio. Il conflitto tra ca...

In the avian world, site fidelity may be considered as the tendency of individuals to remain in the same area during breeding season. The Corncrake (Crex crex) is a polygynous species, with some males moving considerable distances to new singing areas. The aim of this study was to quantify site fidelity of male Corncrakes during one breeding season...

This guide is aimed to raise people’s awareness of the species monitored and on the cross-border cooperation within Nat2Care project. These species are important as they represent the characteristics of the mountainous territory situated on the border between Italy and Slovenia. As such, they deserve everyone’s attention. In the guide, you will f...

Capsule: The movements and spatial ecology of non-breeding Eurasian Griffon Vultures Gyps fulvus in northern Italy, Croatia and Austria do not seem to be affected by feeding station use. Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess how the creation of a feeding station at the Riserva Naturale Regionale del Lago di Cornino (Forgaria nel Friuli, nor...

The quantification of glucocorticoid metabolites in hair is a non-invasive tool that provides important information regarding the endocrine status and represents a valuable method for studying potential stressors that may affect carnivores under both natural and non-natural conditions. Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid hormone of the hypothalamic...

Introduction The Italian Karst hills in the southeaster part of Friuli Venezia Giulia is home of a consolidated population of golden jackal since 1996 (estimated density in 2017: 1.1 heads/100ha). From the 2013 jackals sporadically attacked two flocks. During 2015-2016, was started a collaboration with a local breeder to monitor predations on his...

Introduction With the data collected from acoustic stimulation, it is possible to develop a Distance Sampling model in order to estimate the density and the number of individuals. We have tested a three days stimulation protocol in order to collect a sufficient number (80-90) of responses. We have compared the difference in response rate between th...

Data about some cases of illegal poisoning of Canis aureus in NE Italy

The golden jackal (Canis aureus), listed in annex V of Habitat Directive, represents a new species for Italy and for the Alpine areas: feeding behaviour and the impact on livestock activities are controversial and the conservation status are different in European countries. The first individuals from the Dalmatian and Pannonian populations arrived...

Anthropic activities in human dominated landscapes, is causing widespread biodiversity loss and declines in ecosystem condition worldwide. The intensification of agricultural and silvicultural practices, land abandonment and other land uses such as recreation and hunting, represent potential threats which may lead to conflicts between stakeholder l...

Livestock predations are the main sources of conflict between jackals and breeders and can lead to a negative perception of the species by the human population and in cases of poaching. The italian Karst hill in the southeastern part of Friuli Venezia Giulia is home of a consolidated population of golden jackal since 1996 with a density of 1.1 head...

Acoustic stimulation is widely used for monitoring canids distribution (such as wolf, coyote and jackal). This method is based on the induction of the response of the animals through the emission of a pre-recorded howl with a speaker. We tested the impact of the standard monitoring protocol and that of an over-stimulation protocol in order to anal...

Distribution and interaction among wolf and golden jackal in Friuli Venezia Giulia

The Karst near Gorizia, in the southeastern part of Friuli Venezia Giulia, is home of a consolidated population of Golden jackal since 1996. This species, native from the Balkans, is present in Italy since 1984 and is still subject to expansion. In 2015 a monitoring study by the University of Udine using the Jackal Howling technique has allowed to...

The Adriatic Marbled Bush-cricket (Zeuneriana marmorata (Fieber, 1853)) is a kind of grasshopper belonging to the Tettigoniidae family. It is currently present in only three sites in Italy (all in Friuli Venezia Giulia) and one site in Slovenia. This grasshopper lives in rushes composed mainly of Juncus sp. and Phragmites sp. that occasionally suff...

The knowledge of the habitat uses from a species are essential to understand his requirement and potential expansion in an area. However, about the jackals we have only few information about locally habitat use, so this study wants to fill this gap. The jackals have a high plasticity for food and habitat resources requirements. There are population...

Acoustic surveys are widely used on wild canids studies (such as grey wolves, jackals and coyotes) since many years. This method presents some disadvantages and limitations especially when used on newly established populations or when the target of the research includes young individual in dispersion, however, the data potentially collectable from...

Wetlands belong to the most highly threatened habitat types on our planet. In Europe, many wetlands have been destroyed or degraded by human activities, including drainage, agricultural land use, industrialization, regulation and damming of river courses, pollution, eutrophication, invasions of non-native species and other actions. In northern Ital...

In this paper are reported three new localities of Zeuneriana marmorata (Fieber, 1853), located in two different coast areas in Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. On June 2014 the species was found at the Isonzo mouth, near the village of Fossalon di Grado. On July 2016 Zeuneriana marmorata was discovered in two localities of Marano Lagoon, in the Stell...
