▼ In the early days of genomics, the development of a reference genome was an expensive, collaborative undertaking reserved only for traditional and popular model organisms; however, in a theoretical shift highlighted most clearly by the goals of the Genome 10K Project, the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has resulted in a shift of focus towards the development of reference genomes for a variety of species less commonly studied. One non-traditional model organism selected as a priority species for the Genome 10K Project is the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and specifically a fox from an experimental breeding project in which silver foxes (a melanistic variant of the red fox) have been selected over the past several decades to exhibit extreme behavioral phenotypes. The population consists of a strain of hyper-aggressive foxes and a strain of hyper-docile foxes, offering a model system through which the genetic underpinnings of behavior, as well as the genetic correlates of domestication, can be investigated. The draft red fox genome, which was developed at BGI, has a sequence depth of 94x and is assembled into 676,878 scaffolds with an N50 of 11.80 Mbp. However, in order for the reference genome to be integrated with previous work in the model system, it is necessary to understand the relationship between the scaffolds and the chromosomes they comprise. Therefore, the primary goal of the present study was to assemble the fox chromosomes from the scaffolds of the draft red fox genome assembly. The draft genome was first analyzed to detect bioinformatic errors known to occur in NGS-assembled genomes that might influence the integrity of the chromosome assembly. Based on these findings, the 500 largest scaffolds were assembled into the 17 fox chromosomes (16 autosomes and the X) based both on nucleotide-level synteny among the fox, dog, and cat identified through pairwise alignment of the reference genomes and on interspecies synteny reported in previously developed comparative maps. The result of the current analysis is the development of a new version of the red fox reference genome that will serve as a valuable tool in ongoing research by increasing the resolution at which mapping studies can probe the genetic architecture of complex behavioral phenotypes in the domesticated fox system.

У овој докторској дисертацији испитивани су узорци мозга црвених лисица (Vulpes vulpes) природно инфицираних вирусом штенећака. Након искључивања животиња позитивних на беснило методом директне имунофлуоресценције, вршена су испитивања узорака серума црвених лисица имуноензимском методом у циљу утврђивања присуства антитела против вируса штенећака. Рађена су макроскопска и микроскопска испитивања узорака мозга серолошки позитивних јединки. Експресија и дистрибуција вирусног антигена у мозгу инфицираних лисица утврђена је имунохистохемијски, као и испитивање природе инфламаторног ћелијског инфилтрата. Хистохемијским бојењем LFB методом одређен је степен демијелинизације беле мождане масе. Молекуларно-генетичка испитивања коришћена су за доказивање вирусне РНК. Извршена је статистичка обрада резултата утврђених патоморфолошких промена. Није утврђено присуство јединки позитивних на беснило. Присуство антитела утврђено је код 36,8% животиња и није утврђен утицај висине титра антитела на израженост патоморфолошких промена. Иако нису утврђене макроскопске промене, микроскопски су се уочавале бројне промене у типу негнојног паненцефалитиса и демијелинизујућег леукоенцефалитиса. Имунохистохемијски, утврђена је позитивна реакција умереног до јаког интензитета против вирусног нуклеопротеина (CDV-NP), као и присуство Т ћелија у периваскуларном инфилтрату. Демијелинизација је била најизраженија у белој маси малог мозга. Употребом молекуларно-генетичке методе (RT-PCR) није утврђено присуство вирусне РНК. Поређењем средњих вредности хистопатолошких промена статистичком обрадом података утврђена је сигнификантна разлика између појединих сегмената мозга.

▼ Terrestrial predators are known for their role in controlling herbivore populations, but they can also influence vegetation by altering soil nutrients through excretions and redistributing prey remains. Added nutrients, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus, can modify plant assemblages by alleviating nutrient limitations in soils, thereby altering plant diversity and growth. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes L.) are a top predator in the Subarctic, and their dens, which are reused over many years, could serve as biogeochemical hotspots for soil nutrients. If nutrient additions by red foxes alter the availability of resources for other organisms, such as plants, then red foxes can be considered ecosystem engineers. My thesis examined the impacts of denning on soils, plant assemblages and tree growth in the Subarctic boreal forest, near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. I quantified and compared soil characteristics (inorganic nitrogen, extractable phosphorus, soil pH and respiration), understory vegetation composition (diversity and abundance) and the growth of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) between red fox dens and paired control sites. Red fox denning increased soil nutrients, pH and respiration (microbial activity), which could indicate higher rates of nutrient mineralization. By increasing soil nutrients and disturbance, red fox denning increased the cover of woody shrubs (Salix L. spp.), grasses (Leymus mollis (Trinius) Pilger) and weedy ephemerals on dens compared to control sites. Increased nutrients also promoted long-term radial growth of white spruce trees on dens, despite having stand characteristics otherwise similar to control sites. Denning by red foxes therefore creates distinct microhabitats near the Arctic treeline. Predators that engineer ecosystems can play critical roles in the structure of ecological food webs by modifying habitat resources in addition to trophic interactions, and can therefore influence a broad suite of other organisms.

▼ Freshwater turtle populations have been declining globally due to a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors, with nearly half of the world freshwater turtles threatened with extinction. Australia is high on the list of contributing countries, with one third of its native species threatened with extinction. The Murray River is an obvious example with populations of its native species Emydura macquarii declining by 69% and Chelodina longicollis declining by 91% over the past 30 years. Nest predation by the red fox and the installation of water regulators, which have affected dispersal and changed water quality, are likely main causes of these population declines This thesis used meta-population and population viability analyses to evaluate the impacts of dams on turtle populations in areas where recruitment may be severely limited because of predation by foxes. The aims are to determine levels of recruitment required throughout a system to eliminate risks of extinction, as well as determine how the placement of dams and weirs may restrict movement and potentially increase risks of extinction. I show that turtle populations of the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) can sustain relatively high losses of source recruitment populations, if relief populations are located between dams and impoundments. Areas of South Australia are of most concern. The scarcity of available habitats between dams, combined with high nest predation rates, increases the risk of extinction significantly. Water quality is also another significant factor that has hastened population declines and led to localised extirpation of MDB turtle populations. Management of MDB turtles centres on increasing the number of source populations for several species, increasing connectivity between populations and minimising risks for species moving terrestrially. This study also used modelling and population viability analysis to compare the cost to benefit ratio of two management techniques; headstarting and 1080 poison baiting, to determine which management technique would require the least cost to be the most effective. Vortex modelling showed that headstarting is significantly more efficient, economically beneficial, and uniformly more successful than baiting. Headstarting cost up to 40 times cheaper than baiting yet produced the same results. Headstarting cost an average of 0.22 AUD per hectare, whilst baiting cost as much as 8.73 AUD per hectare. Furthermore, modelled headstarting success was unaffected by the proportion of waterbodies in an area, the proportion of waterbodies baited/supplemented into or the proportion of forests (areas of lower nest predation) present, and could be used uniformly throughout the river. However, baiting required more baits when a lower number of waterbodies and low proportion of forests were present and would therefore need to be tailored to the area.

SANTRAUKA Šio darbo tikslas – atlikti rudųjų lapių ir usūrinių šunų priekinės galūnės ilgųjų kaulų morfometrinę analizę. Pagal gautus duomenis nustatyti skirtumus esančius tarp rūšių ir lyčių. Tyrimui panaudoti LSMU Veterinarijos akademijos Anatomijos ir fiziologijos katedroje sukaupti 12 – os suaugusių usūrinių šunų ir rudųjų lapių ilgieji kaulai: iš jų usūrinių šunų – 6 (3 patelės, 3 patinai), rudųjų lapių – 6 (3 patelės, 3 patinai). Atsiţvelgiant į tai, kad nebuvo pastebėta esminių ilgio ir pločio skirtumų tarp kaitės ir dešinės pusės galūnių, buvo tiriamos tik kairės pusės galūnės. Tirtas petikaulis, dilbio kaulai (stipinkaulis ir alkūnkaulis), plaštakos kaulai. Kaulai išmatuoti pagal (Bisaillon A., De Roth L., 1979) metodiką, naudojant mechaninį slankmatį 0,01 mm tikslumu. Pagal gautus duomenis išmatuoti septyni kaulų indeksai. Išmatavus ir palyginus usūrinių šunų ir rudųjų lapių patinų ir patelių ilguosius kaulus nustatyta, kad lapių patinų petikaulis, dilbio ir plaštakos kaulai ilgesni nei lapių patelių. Tarp kaulų pločio reikšmingų skirtumų nebuvo aptikta. Usūrinių šunų patinų petikaulis ir stipinkaulis ilgesnis nei usūrinių šunų patelių. Usūrinių šunų patelių alkūnkaulis ilgesnis nei usūrinių šunų patinų. Plaštakos kaulų ilgis ir plotis skyrėsi neţymiai. Palyginus tarprūšiniu poţiūriu, lapių patinų ilgieji kaulai ilgesni nei usūrinių šunų patinų. Tarp kaulų pločio esminių skirtumų nebuvo. Lapių patelių petikaulis ir dilbio kaulai ilgesni nei usūrinių šunų patelių.... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

SUMMARY Aim of this work – to perform morphometric analysis of the long bones of the foreleg of raccoon dogs and red foxes. To determine the differences between the sorts and sexes according to the data got. Long bones of 12 adult raccoon dogs and red foxes, kept at the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of Academy of Veterinary of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, have been analysed: 6 – of raccoon dogs (3 females, 3 males), 6 – of red foxes (3 females, 3 males). Humerus, forearm bones (radius and ulna), and metacarpal bones have been investigated. Bones have been measured according to (Bisaillon A., De Roth L., 1979) method, using mechanical calliper (precision of 0.1 mm). Seven indexes of the bones have been measured according to the data got. When the long bones of female and male raccoon dogs and red foxes have been measured and compared, it has been determined that humerus, forearm and metacarpal bones of the male foxes are longer compared to the female foxes. Significant differences of the bone width have not been determined. Humerus and radius of the male raccoon dogs are longer compared to the female raccoon dogs. Ulna of the female raccoon dogs is longer compared to the male raccoon dogs. Length and width of the metacarpal bones were different marginally. When compared according to the interspecific point of view, long bones of the male foxes are longer than bones of the raccoon dogs. There were no essential differences between widths of the bones. Humerus... [to full text]

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária

Até há relativamente pouco tempo, os estudos sobre a ocorrência e prevalência da fauna parasitológica das populações silvestres foram negligenciados, comparativamente aos estudos em humanos e animais domésticos. Adicionalmente, inúmeras espécies de parasitas apresentam ciclos que envolvem múltiplos hospedeiros e não dependem somente de uma única espécie. Deste modo, entender a sua epidemiologia é fundamental para o conceito “One Health” ou “Uma Saúde”, já que podem causar um profundo impacto na dinâmica populacional entre os diferentes meios. Neste contexto, com vista a caraterizar a situação epidemiológica das parasitoses gastrintestinais e pulmonares em canídeos domésticos e silvestres no distrito de Vila Real, procedeu-se à colheita mensal de amostras fecais (n=491), entre novembro de 2016 e maio de 2017, de três espécies de canídeos: raposa (Vulpes vulpes) (n=211), cão doméstico (Canis lupus familiaris) (n=173) e lobo-ibérico (Canis lupus signatus) (n=107). As amostras foram colhidas diretamente do ambiente em transectos pré-determinados nas zonas serranas da Falperra (n=224), Vila Cova (n=182) e Gevancas (n=85) e posteriormente analisadas por meio de técnicas coprológicas. No total das amostras estudadas, 39,1 % (192/491) apresentaram pelo menos uma forma parasitária, sendo Ancylostomatidae, Toxascaris leonina, Trichuris spp. e Taeniidae os parasitas com maior destaque. No que se refere à distribuição das amostras positivas pelos canídeos em estudo, distingue-se a raposa com maior prevalência parasitária global e maior diversidade de parasitas detetados. Relativamente à área de estudo, foi a serra da Falperra que se evidenciou, quer pelo número de amostras positivas, quer pelo número de parasitas diferentes identificados. No que se refere às estações do ano, foi a primavera que apresentou maior prevalência parasitária no geral, contudo, foi no outono que a diversidade de parasitas observada foi maior. De um modo geral, os resultados obtidos encontram-se abaixo da média das prevalências observadas em canídeos silvestres e domésticos da Península Ibérica, não obstante, todos os canídeos em estudo são portadores de parasitas com a capacidade de afetar os humanos e outros animais silvestres e domésticos. Consequentemente surge a necessidade de criar programas regulares de monitorização parasitológica destes e doutros animais silvestres em Portugal e de os aplicar em diversas áreas do território nacional, de modo a melhorar a caraterização das doenças e os fatores de risco associados às mesmas, tal como a importância da implementação de medidas preventivas e de controlo tanto no ciclo silvático, como no doméstico e, principalmente, nas espécies em perigo e com maior contacto com humanos e animais domésticos.

ABSTRACT - Until recently, studies on the occurrence and prevalence of parasitological fauna in wild populations have been neglected in comparison to studies in humans and domestic animals. Additionally, many species of parasites circulate in…

▼ Thirteen badgers and 20 foxes were radio-tracked in the Wytham Estate, Oxfordshire, between 1981 and 1983. Thirteen badger and 10 fox groups were identified from radio-tracking and bait marking. Badger groups (mean size 1982: 4.45, 1983: 5.82) occupied contiguous territories (size: 22-75 ha) with boundaries marked by latrines. Seasonal variation in marking intensity and choice of marking sites presumably were responses to changing intrusion pressure. Fox groups (mean size: 2.6) occupied stable territories (size: 22- 104 ha) with little overlap. Faeces deposition by foxes facilitated territory marking. Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) dominated the diet of badgers (63 % estimated dry weight EDW, faeces), followed by cereals, fruits and other Invertebrates. Diet was highly variable between groups and seasons. For foxes, lagomorphs (20 % EDW) and earthworms (33 % EDW) were the most important prey, followed by scavenge and fruits. Variation in diet between groups and seasons was marked in lagomorphs but not earthworms. Multlvarlate analyses of habitat parameters revealed a low-dimensional 'resource space' that could be divided into conventional habitat categories. Censuses of prey species indicated that resource presence varied consistently between habitat categories. Key habitats occurred at fairly constant proportions in territories of both species) their dispersion partly determined the configuration of territory boundaries. The proportions of specific habitats per territory were correlated with the proportions of certain prey items in diets. space use by individuals was analysed by spatial autocorrelation methods, variation in space use by foxes was attributed to variation in resource dispersion. In contrast, individual badgers were similar in their use of space. Here, small-scale heterogeneity in intensity of use may reflect local earthworm availability, in one studied fox group, males and females differed in range use. Individuals in one studied badger group coordinated their use of space probably to minimize foraging interference. It is suggested that group living in Wytham badgers is a response to defending resources, and a model is proposed to explain how the spatial and social organisation of male and female badgers relate to the characteristics of the resources they require.

▼ This thesis provides an insight into the biology and ecology of foxes Vulpes vulpes from a coastal habitat and free roaming dogs Canis lupus familiaris from an Aboriginal community, both in SE NSW. In particular, the study examines the home range and movement patterns of both canids from a view point of population and disease control. Additional base line information was collected for these species on diet, parasites and population biology. A total of 14 foxes and 10 dogs were collared and radio tracked to determine the home range and movement patterns of the animals. The data collected provides information on the behaviour of foxes in coastal habitat and represents the first detailed biological study of freeroaming dogs in Australia. The results provide a better understanding of dog movements, particularly the differences in behaviour between wandering and sedentary dogs. Home range sizes varied greatly between the dog groups from 1 ha to 2451 ha. There was evidence that dog forays were influenced by prey availability, particularly medium sized macropods. Occasional sallies, size and shape of fox and dog home range is discussed in relation to the richness of habitat at Jervis Bay with comparisons being made with other studies from the literature. Foxes in Jervis Bay had home ranges between 60-270 ha which is comparable to foxes living in the forests of Germany and in coastal habitat in the Netherlands This study also provides data on the diet of foxes and dogs presenting quantitative and qualitative data on food preferences. Foxes tended to be opportunistic in food selection although critical weight range mammals ie. ringtail possums were favoured. The high prevalence of the parasite Spirometra spp. in foxes indicated that considerable numbers of amphibians and reptiles are consumed by this species. A comprehensive inventory of the parasites of the two canid species showed a high proportion of hookworm in foxes and dogs and Spirometra spp in foxes. These results are discussed in light of the potential health implications for local Aboriginal people. Analysis of fox scats revealed that they have the potential to spread the seeds of bitou bush. A more detailed pilot study revealed the potential impact of foxes on the environment through the spread of weed seeds. Germination trials recorded high viability of seeds that were eaten and deposited by foxes. The management implications of this behaviour are discussed in context to weed control. This thesis has provided new information on foxes and dogs in Australia. Discussion on these species in the thesis has been framed around the benefits of this information for population and disease control.

▼ The red fox occurs across a very broad range of habitats, and displays great behavioural flexibility under different environmental conditions. In Australia, mounting concern over the impacts of foxes on livestock and native fauna has highlighted a need for more information on fox ecology under Australian conditions as a fundamental step towards developing more strategic means of managing foxes. This study explores ranging behaviour, dispersal, use of dens, activity rhythms, population dynamics and diet in the absence of management in productive agricultural land in the central tablelands of New South Wales. The study was conducted from June 1994 to June 1997 on private property near Murringo, NSW Australia (34°15� S, 148°30� E). The site was primarily sheep and cattle grazing land and had a history of no fox management. Rainfall was considerably below average for much of the study. A total of 83 foxes were trapped over 3931 trapnights, of which 50 were fitted with radio-collars (23 adult and 6 juvenile females, 12 adult and 9 juvenile males) and 26 released with eartags only (all juveniles: 10 females, 16 males). Thirty-three foxes were radio-tracked using fixed towers between March 1995 and December 1996, with between 11 and 28 foxes tracked at any time. Mean home range size was 446.1 ha ± 69.8 se using 95% Minimum Convex Polygons (MCP), and 276.4 ha ± 36.3 se using 95% kernel utilisation distributions. Male home ranges defined by MCP were significantly larger than female ranges, but no significant difference was found using 95% kernels. Core ranges were estimated to be 133.4 ha ± 23.7 se using 50% MCP and 59.8 ha ± 6.1 se using 95% kernels, with no significant difference between sexes. No significant differences were found between range sizes of adults and juveniles or between years or seasons. While most home ranges were steady for the duration of the study, some foxes were observed to shift range location and 4 foxes displayed nomadic behaviour for at least some of the study. There was a high incidence of overlapping home ranges, most commonly between females or males and females but occasionally between males, but core areas were usually separate. Fully overlapping core areas were observed in 1995 but not in 1996. Juvenile foxes were significantly more likely to disperse than adults, and usually travelled further (juveniles 61.1 km 31.6 ± se; adults 5.9 km 1.1 ± se). Males and females were equally likely to disperse, and there was no significant difference in the distance travelled. The furthest distances were 285 km and 140 km, but mean distance of dispersal excluding these animals was 12.3 km ± 4.3 se (n = 13). Thorough surveys across a 16.4 km² area located 200 dens, with 68 of these active in 1995 and 96 active in 1996. Density of breeding foxes was estimated to be 0.55 and 0.52 adult foxes/km² in 1995 and 1996 respectively based on natal den counts. Density estimates based on active den counts, which include non-breeding foxes,…

▼ Urbanisation poses a major threat to biodiversity, often resulting in the local decline or extinction of native species. Urban and peri-urban areas, in general, contain a mosaic of fragmented natural habitats in which native species can find refuge. While, the persistence of native species is often tenuous in such refuges, little is known about how introduced predators, such as the European red fox (Vulpes vulpes), affect native prey in urban environments in Australia.This study aims to address this knowledge gap by assessing the diet composition and morphology of foxes along an urban land use gradient, transecting the Greater Sydney Region, Australia. Diet composition was assessed through measuring the proportion of volume of each prey category in the stomachs of fox carcasses. Morphology was assessed in respect to skeletal measurements, body mass and body condition of those carcasses.Diet composition varied considerably along the gradient, with mammals, birds, insects, plants and anthropogenic food representing significantly different proportions of the foxes’ diet in different land use categories. Native mammals were predominantly consumed in non-urban areas, whereas introduced mammals were mainly consumed in urban areas. Nevertheless, urban foxes still consumed a considerable amount of native marsupials, mainly comprising common ringtail possums (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) and common brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula). No threatened species were identified in the diet of foxes in this study. Foxes exploiting anthropogenic food were also heavier and in better condition than foxes without access to this resource supplementation.Thus, foxes are highly opportunistic and adaptable predators of a wide variety of prey in Australian urban environments; however, further research is required to confirm the magnitude of their impacts on native species in urban refugia.

▼ I attempted to track a population of urban foxes in Kings Park, but due to collar failure, only one collar was retrieved. The GPS telemetry data from this fox produced home range estimates for minimum convex polygon (MCP) and kernel density (KD) of 0.302 km² and 0.331 km², respectively. The fox was predominantly active at night, with a ten-fold increase in movement during nocturnal periods when compared to daytime movements. Roads and man-made tracks were important for facilitating movement of the fox through its home range, with almost 97% of location fixes recorded within 100m of these features. The fox showed a preference for parrot bush Banksia sessilis shrubland and disturbed areas containing exotic weeds and revegetation, while avoiding woodlands and open spaces. Monitoring programs aimed at assessing the abundance of invasive species, as well as the severity of their impacts to the environment, are crucial for designing and implementing effective control strategies. I investigated the relative occupancy and diet of foxes at the local scale. Thirty one fox scats taken from two urban reserves revealed that medium-sized mammals, particularly brush-tailed possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) and quenda (Isoodon fusciventer), and black rats (Rattus rattus) comprised a large proportion of fox diet. Fruits and seeds, predominantly those produced by the Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla), also contributed to a large portion of the diet of foxes. I used 21 motion cameras deployed across 10 monitoring sites to estimate fox occupancy within Kings Park. Seasonality had a significant influence on probability of occupancy and detection for foxes inhabiting Kings Park, with the highest rates of detection seen during the summer months (December-February). This spike in detections is consistent with the timing of dispersing juveniles, which are likely to be immigrating into the area in search of a suitable home range. Improving the effectiveness of conservation strategies through collaborative research is a key outcome of the Kings Park and Botanic Gardens Management Plan 2014-2019 strategic framework and implementing control measures for pest animals is a priority target for both this plan and the Bold Park Management Plan 2011-2016. Numerous methods have been used to control and/or mitigate their impacts within Australia, however, the success rates of these strategies vary. With the information gained from this investigation, it is my hope that future fox monitoring and control programs can be improved within the reserves and surrounding land uses.

▼ I studied aspects of the ecology of the Murray River turtle, Emydura macquarii, to determine the impact of the introduced red fox, Vulpes vulpes. The fox is one of Australia's worst vertebrate pests through its predation on livestock and native mammals, but their impact on reptilian communities is not known. I conducted a large-scale mark-recapture study to evaluate population growth of E. macquarii in the Albury region of the upper Murray River by determining growth, reproduction and survival. The study was conducted downstream of the first, and largest, impoundment on the Murray River, Lake Hume. Emydura macquarii predominantly inhabit the lagoons in the upper Murray River, as the mainstream and Lake are possibly too cool to maintain metabolic processes. They are easily captured in hoop traps and the use of live decoys maximises trap success. Over 2000 hatchling turtles were marked and released into two lagoons between January 1997 and January 1998. Growth of these individuals is rapid over the first few years but declines towards maturity, and is indeterminate after maturity. Although growth annuli are not well defined, even on young individuals, the von Bertalanffy model describes the growth of both male and female E. macquarii. Male turtles mature at 5-6 years and females mature at 10-12 years. Female turtles may maximise reproductive potential by delaying maturity and producing one relatively large clutch (mean = 21 eggs) per year, which is positively correlated with body size (PL). Although primarily related to body size, clutch size varies annually because of environmental conditions. If winter and summer rainfalls are below average and temperatures are above average, E. macquarii may reduce clutch size to increase the chance of the eggs surviving. Nesting predominantly occurs during the first major rain-bearing depression in November. Habitat variables, including distance from water, nearest nest, and tree, and soil type were measured for each nest to determine characteristics that attract predators. Nests close to the shoreline and trees are heavily preyed on, and nests constructed in sand are less likely to be destroyed by predators. Foxes detect nests through a combination of chemical cues from eggs and slight soil disturbances, whereas birds only destroy nests observed being constructed during the day. Female turtles alter nesting behaviour and construct nests much further away from water when foxes were removed and as a result, nests are less dense and away from trees. Thus in high predation risk areas, turtles minimise emergence and search times to reduce the risk of direct predation by foxes. Predation is reduced when nests are in lower densities and away from trees, because predators increase search efforts when nests are in higher densities and birds are more likely to destroy nests close to trees. Reproductive success is further reduced in high predation risk areas because more nests are constructed in sandy substrates where clutch success is reduced compared to incubation in more…

Pour limiter l'impact des activités humaines sur la biodiversité, les populations animales sont gérées dans de nombreux contextes. La gestion des populations animales comprend la conservation des espèces menacées, comme l’exploitation/régulation des espèces gibiers ou considérées nuisibles. Elle consiste à modifier la dynamique des populations soit en favorisant leur croissance, soit en réduisant leur abondance. Face à l’urgence d’agir dans un contexte de ressources financières limitées, une gestion efficiente des populations animales requiert une bonne compréhension de leur dynamique en réponse aux actions mises en œuvre. Durant mon doctorat, j’ai travaillé en partenariat avec des gestionnaires agissant sur deux systèmes biologiques : la conservation de rapaces méditerranéens (aigles de Bonelli et vautours percnoptères) et la régulation des densités de renards en paysage rural. Pour chaque système, mon travail a consisté i) en l’analyse des suivis de populations qui sont réalisés pour ii) évaluer l’effet de la gestion sur la dynamique des espèces gérées. Dans les deux contextes, j’ai pu iii) mettre en évidence la contribution de l’immigration à la croissance des populations menacées, comme à l’atténuation des effets de la régulation. Après iv) avoir extrait des recommandations pouvant améliorer l’efficience de la gestion en tenant compte de ces processus d’immigration, mon travail s’est conclu par v) une réflexion en retour sur l’optimisation des suivis de populations, afin qu’ils génèrent le plus d’informations pour un investissement moindre. Dans l’ensemble, ce travail aboutit à une réflexion sur les moyens favorisant une gestion efficiente des populations animales.

Due to the multiple interactions linking species together, human activities and animal species influence each other. Animal populations are therefore managed to favour long-term cohabitation. Wildlife management includes the conservation of endangered species, the harvest of game species and the control of species considered as pest. It consists in impacting population dynamics (density variation in a territory) either by favouring or limiting population growth. Faced with the complexity of ecological processes and the urgent need for acting in a context of decreasing allocated resources, an efficient management requires a precious understanding of population dynamics in response to actions. During my PhD, I collaborated with managers supervising two contrasted biological systems: the conservation of endangered Mediterranean raptors (Bonelli’s eagles and Egyptian vultures) and the control of fox densities in French rural landscapes. For each case of study, my work consisted in i) analysing data from population monitoring designed to ii) evaluate the management impact on population dynamics. In both systems, I highlighted iii) the crucial importance of immigration either in boosting endangered population or compensating for fox regulation. After having iv) derived concrete guidelines to improve management facing with immigration. I concluded my PhD…

▼ The piping plover (Charadrius melodus) is a federally-listed shorebird that nests on barrier islands along the U.S. Atlantic Coast and is highly vulnerable to habitat change and predation. We have addressed these two threats by 1) developing and implementing a linked model system that predicts future change to piping plover habitat resulting from sea-level rise and beach management efforts by joining dynamic models of sea-level rise, shoreline change, island geomorphology and piping plover nest habitat suitability, and 2) quantifying occupancy and movement of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), a key shorebird predator at Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia. We constructed and tested a model that links changes in geomorphological characteristics to piping plover nesting habitat suitability. We then linked this model to larger scale shoreline change resulting from sea level rise and storms. Using this linked model to forecast future sea-level rise and beach management efforts, we found that modest sea-level rise rates (3 mm and 4.1 mm/yr; similar to current rates) may increase suitable piping plover nesting habitat area in 50-100 years and some beach management strategies (beach nourishment and artificial dune modifications) also influence habitat availability. Our development and implementation of this tool to predict change in piping plover habitat suitability provides a vital starting point for predicting how plover nesting habitat will change in a context of planned human modifications intended to address climate change-related threats. Our findings regarding red fox occupancy and movement complement the use of this model for planning future management actions by providing vital information on the effects of certain predator management activities and habitat use of a key mammalian predator, the red fox, for shorebirds along the U.S. Atlantic Coast. Overall, we found that 1) red fox occupancy was strongly tied to eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) trap success, increasing sharply with increased eastern cottontail trap success, 2) red fox occupancy did not change in response to an intensive eradication program, and 3) red foxes in our study area generally moved little between camera stations spaced 300 m from each other, but may move large distances (> 6km) at times, likely to occupy new territory available after lethal control efforts. Our findings have important ramifications for the sustainability of long-term predator removal programs and our understanding of future habitat change on the red fox. For example how vegetation changes affect eastern cottontails, how resulting fluctuations in eastern cottontails affect red fox occupancy, and how consequential changes in red fox occupancy affect plover breeding productivity. Our predictive model combined with these predator findings will allow wildlife managers to better plan and implement effective management actions for piping plovers in response to the multiple stressors of SLR-induced habitat change and predation.

▼ Odour plays an important role in many predator/prey interactions. In the northernhemisphere, many mammalian prey species have been shown to respond to predator odours. It is also widely assumed that mammalian predators utilise odours to locate their prey. This thesis explores the importance of odour in Australian mammalian predator/prey interactions. Responses of native Australian species to the faecal odour of two predators; the native tiger quoll Dasyurus maculatus and the introduced red fox Vulpes vulpes, were evaluated through live-trapping and focussed behavioural studies of captive animals.Tiger quoll responses to prey olfactory cues were investigated in a captive experiment. Native rodents (bush rats Rattus fuscipes, swamp rats R. lutreolus and eastern chestnut mice Pseudomys gracilicaudatus) equally avoided traps scented with either quoll or fox faeces, and in captive experiments, bush rats and swamp rats reduced their average speed in response to both predator odours. Of the marsupial species, northern brown bandicoots Isoodon macrourus and common brushtail possums Trichosurus vulpecula were captured more frequently in quoll-scented traps than unscented traps or foxscented traps, while captures of brown antechinus Antechinus stuarttii, long-nosed bandicoots Perameles nasuta and southern brown bandicoot I. obesulus were unaffected by the either predator odour. In captive experiments, brown antechinus, long-nosed and northern brown bandicoots decreased their foraging in response to both predator odours, and spent less time in areas scented with quoll faeces. Tiger quolls didn't appear to detect odour sources from a distance of >65 cm, but they did follow scent trails and spent more time in areas scented with the urine and faeces of potential prey. Chemical analysis revealed no common components in fox and quoll odour which prey species could be responding to. Therefore, these native species have evolved to respond to fox odour since foxes were introduced to Australia 130 years ago. The stronger response of native rodents to fox odour may be a legacy of their co-evolution with canid predators prior to entering Australia. A better understanding of how odour is utilised in Australian predator/prey interactions may lead to a greater ability to protect Australia's unique mammalian fauna from introduced predators.
