Abstract | Once widely distributed throughout Europe, wildcats (Felis s. silvestris) have suffered significant reduction in their original range due to extensive hunting and trapping resulting in fragmented and small populations (Piechocki, 1990). Despite a slow recovery of some populations they are still a species of conservation concern throughout Europe (Stahl and Artois, 1995). Their large home ranges and their high mobility make this species highly vulnerable to traffic mortality in areas with a high human population density like in Central Europe. This is especially important since knowledge on population dynamics is limited. |
