Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato DNA in the blood of wild bison from Białowieza primeval forest in eastern Poland.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato DNA in a group of 120 wild bison (Bison bonasus) from the Bialowieza Primeval Forest in eastern Poland. The PCR technique revealed the presence of 16S RNA of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the blood of 16 out of 120 examined animals. DNA amplification by means of primers SC1 and SC2 gave a prod...
متن کاملReproduction and mortality of invasive raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in the Białowieża Primeval Forest (eastern Poland)
We investigated reproduction and mortality of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in the Białowieża Primeval Forest (eastern Poland). The species invaded the forest in 1955 and is more common than native species of medium-sized carnivores. The mean litter size of raccoon dogs, based on placental scars and foetuses was 8.4 (SD = 2.0). Mortality of pups was 61% during the first three months f...
متن کاملTransition from traditional to modern forest management shaped the spatial extent of cattle pasturing in Białowieża Primeval Forest in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
Pasturing of livestock in forests has had profound consequences for Europe's landscapes. In Białowieża Primeval Forest (BPF), cattle pasturing was a part of traditional forest use that ceased only in the second half of the twentieth century. We collected information on the institutional changes governing forest cattle pasturing and the changes in spatial extent of cattle presence in BPF in last...

two octavo volumes; as this has been translated into English, we gather that it is a book of some consequence. Yet, he has dragged himself away from all his interests in Europe and devoted a valuable part of his life to medical missionary work in equatorial Africa. Such a man must be either a restless crank or a true altruist, and, as it is obvious from his writings that Dr. Schweitzer is not t...
متن کاملWhat Cues Do Ungulates Use to Assess Predation Risk in Dense Temperate Forests?
Anti-predator responses by ungulates can be based on habitat features or on the near-imminent threat of predators. In dense forest, cues that ungulates use to assess predation risk likely differ from half-open landscapes, as scent relative to sight is predicted to be more important. We studied, in the Białowieża Primeval Forest (Poland), whether perceived predation risk in red deer (Cervus elap...
