... Dôležité migračné trasy boli identifikované smerom na severozápad do Moravsko-Szlieských Beskýd a severozápad Čiech (Bojda et al. 2010, Kutal et al. 2012, Kutal & Suchomel 2014a a juhozápad do Bielych a Malých Karpát (Hell & Slamečka 1996). Ďalšia migračná trasa prebiehala cez Žitavskú pahorkatinu smerom na severozápadné Maďarsko, avšak vzhľadom na súčasný stav infraštruktúry je jej funkcia pravdepodobne veľmi obmedzená, alebo prerušená (Hell & Slamečka 1996, Kubala 2014. ...
... A grid of 2.7 × 2.7 km was suggested (Laass 1999), which later became a reference grid for other camera-trapping deigns (Weingarth et al. 2012(Weingarth et al. , 2015, although not everywhere. For example, grid of 2.5 × 2.5 km is used in Slovakia (Kubala et al. 2017), 10 × 10 km in Czech Republic (Kutal et al. 2013), and 3 × 3 in Harz, Germany (Middelhoff & Anders 2018). For reliable density estimates, Weingarth et al. (2015) recommend to prolong the period from late summer to early winter and space cameras 2.5-3 km apart in smaller areas (~300 km 2 ) and 5-6 km in larger ones (~750 km 2 ). ...
