Habitat selection by European badgers in Mediterranean semi-arid ecosystems

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

We studied the habitat selection patterns of badgers Meles meles (Linnaeus, 1758) in Mediterranean semi-arid ecosystems. Fifty-seven plots were sampled in two semi-arid regions of Spain. In each plot, badger latrines were located along 2.6Â km transects. The number of badger latrines per km was used as a surrogate of badger abundance and as an index of habitat selection by badgers. For each plot, a series of envir...
