Movements in the forest during COVID-19 lockdown in the Czech Republic: Interaction between humans and wild boars
Original language description
The COVID-19 lockdown limited human activity in certain areas of life, particularly travel and gathering indoors. Consequently, many people spent more time outdoors, penetrating natural areas and potentially putting pressure on wildlife. Increased interest in outdoor recreational activities during the lockdown period of 2020 was observed in the suburban forest near Prague (Czech Republic), where human visitation to the same period of 2019 increased by fivefold. Could this increased human presence alter the spatial behaviour of wildlife? In this study, we present the wild boar s space use and movement patterns during the first Covid-19 lockdown in the Czech Republic and compare them to the same period in 2019 with no Covid-19 restrictions. In total, we equipped 40 wild boars with GPS and biologger devices in the suburban forest Kostelec nad Černými Lesyin the Czech Republic. We calculated daily home ranges and step length, turning angle, and net square displacement. Human activity was measured daily u
