ONDATRA ZIBETHICUS
AMERICAN MINK
NEOVISON VISON - Opis:
- Muskrat, Ondatra zibethicus (L. 1766), is an introduced species to European fauna. It is widespread in Poland, however signs of it decline were observed in last decades. While most of information on muskrat is based on questionnaires and bag record, in this paper results of field census for muskrat signs (tracks and feaces) at total of 1554 sites are presented. Signs of muskrats were present at 19,5% of 1111 sites surveyed from 1996-1998, and at 5,3% of 413 sites surveyed in 2007, Muskrats inhabited mostly small and medium rivers in western part of the study area. Decrease in occurrence of the species over a study period is best document by significant reduction in frequency of muskrat records at the 249 sites surveyed in 1996-1998 (present at 44% sites) and 2007 (7%). The decline of the muskrat population is most probably the effect of increasing predation by American mink Neovison vison.
