Abstract:Časovni vzorci aktivnosti predstavljajo pomemben vidik biologije neke živalske vrste. Razumevanje krono-biološke aktivnosti živali je pomembno za uspešno načrtovanje ukrepov za ohranjanje biodiverzitete, vendar pa predstavlja kvantificiranje obnašanja prostoživečih živali poseben izziv. Kamere za snemanje divjadi so postale precej popularna neinvazivna raziskovalna metoda, ki se uporablja za študije najrazličnejših vidikov vedenja živali. V magistrski nalogi smo s pomočjo snemanja v naravnem okolju proučevali vzorce aktivnosti gamsa (Rupicapra rupicapra) na dveh raziskovalnih območjih v vzhodni Sloveniji, Donački gori in Reseniku. Območji predstavljata netipični habitat za proučevano vrsto in se med seboj razlikujeta po intenzivnosti antropogenih motenj. Ugotovili smo, da aktivnost vrste na proučevanih območjih sledi krepuskularnemu vzorcu, z značilnimi viški aktivnosti v jutranjem in večernem času in v nobenem delu dneva ne upade popolnoma. Zanimalo nas je tudi, kako se vzorec aktivnosti vrste spreminja tekom lunarnega cikla. Ugotovili smo, da splošna aktivnost gamsa kaže bi-modalno porazdelitev v lunarnem ciklu, pri čemer se oba vrhova pojavljata v obdobju naraščajoče lune, en vrh se pojavi relativno zgodaj po mlaju (prazni luni), drugi, izrazitejši, pa tik pred polno luno. Lunarni cikel ni imel značilnega vpliva na splošno aktivnost gamsa, smo pa ta vpliv zabeležili pri nočni aktivnosti. Ta je bila kontrastno z dnevno aktivnostjo najbolj intenzivna v času tik pred polno luno. Čeprav so na pridobljenih posnetkih prevladovala posamična opazovanja, smo dobili vpogled tudi v socialne lastnosti populacije. Na Donački gori smo zabeležili manjše skupine (2-5 osebkov) kot na Reseniku (največja skupina je štela 10 osebkov). Rezultati podajajo prvi vpogled v krono-biologijo gamsa (Rupicapra rupicapra) na omenjenih raziskovalnih območjih in hkrati izpostavljajo vprašanja, ki bi jih bilo za boljše razumevanje časovne dinamike vrste še potrebno raziskati v prihodnje.

Title:Chronobiological activity of chamois (rupicapra rupicapra) on mount saint donatus and resenik hills
Abstract:Temporal activity patterns are an important aspect of a species biology. Understanding the chronobiological activity of a certain species is crucial for successful management and conservation of said species, but quantifying animal behaviour still poses a significant challenge in the biological community. Camera traps are gaining popularity as non-invasive research tool used for studying many different aspects of animal behaviour. With the help of this emerging research technique we investigated activity patterns of chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) at two neighbouring hills in Eastern Slovenia, Donačka and Resenik. The research locations are not representative of a typical chamois habitat and differ in the intensity of anthropogenic disturbance. Results of the 3 month monitoring show that the species has crepuscular activity pattern with 2 peaks of activity at dawn and dusk. We were also interested in whether the activity pattern of chamois changes during the lunar cycle. Chamois showed a bi-modal activity pattern during the lunar cycle, with peaks of activity around new and full moon. We did not record a significant effect of lunar cycle on the activity of chamois but the effect was significant just for night time activity. The biggest intensity of night time activity was, in contrast to day time activity, recorded around the time of the full moon. This research also illuminated the social dynamic of the species on the studied areas. On Donačka hill we recorded smaller groups (2-5 individuals) than on Resenik hill where the biggest group counted 10 members. The results of the following thesis give the first insights into the chronobiological activity of chamois in forested habitats of Eastern Slovenia and also offer many new questions and future research directions needed to deepen our understanding of the species activity.
