Feeding habits of re-introduced Eurasian beaver: spatial and seasonal variation in the use of food resources.
Original language description
Considerable impact of beaver on species composition and structure of plant communities led to intensive research of its feeding habits. Generally, beavers in the Czech Republic consumed mostly deciduous trees, and forbs. Grasses, aquatic plants, and field crops were negligible. Seasonal and spatial variability in diet compositional data were influenced mostly by the differences in the amount of deciduous trees and forbs in beaver diet. In spring beavers consumed mainly deciduous trees. During summer and autumn the proportion of forbs significantly increased at all study sites even tough they dominated over deciduous trees only in Bohemian Forest. The amount of deciduous trees in faeces positively correlated with diversity and cover of riparian stands.The results showed high degree of ecological plasticity of diet selection patterns of re-occurred Eurasian beaver in the Czech Republic, but did not confirm their ability to cause high damages on economically important trees or field cro
