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.
