Effect of start of hunting season on behaviour of Greylag Geese Anser anser

Original language description

Hunting is a key source of disturbance which affects geese populations directly through killing and indirectly through shooting disturbance. Movements of individuals in response to hunting disturbance may expose geese to reduced feeding opportunities and higher predation risks, which can have consequences on the population level. Thus geese should use habitats that provide access to food and minimize encounters with hunters. Our study focused on differences in the proportion of hunting-free area used and in the total area used by individuals, size of water bodies used by birds, and flight distance between roosting and feeding areas, during two periods-before and after the start of the hunting season. In south Bohemia (Czech Republic), in 2012, 2014 and 2015, we attached seventeen GPS GSM-transmitters to moulting Greylag Geese Anser anser. We analysed data from nine transmitters, recording two or twelve logs per day, using minimum convex polygons home range estimates and Wilcoxon matched
