Removal of American mink increases the Access of simulated nests in linear habitat
Original language description
Alien species of predators may negatively influence the breeding success of waterfowl. Previous studies have tested whether predator removal causes an increase in nest success and breeding densities; however, conclusions have been contradictory. Here weexamine the impact of the removal of introduced American mink, Mustela vison, on the survival of simulated waterfowl nests in two treatment and two control transects. Nest survival was recorded during two periods (June and July), with minks removed afterthe first replicate. Whereas nest survival in control transects slightly decreased from June to July, the opposite trend, i.e. an increase in nest survival, was apparent in the treatment transects. On the basis of the results, we suggest that a local reduction in mink populations is an effective short-term tool for the conservation of protected waterfowl species. Our study adds to others, reporting potentially adverse effects of alien, introduced, carnivorous species on local biota.

Odstranění norka amerického zvyšuje úspěšnost umělých hnízd
Czech description
Zavlečené druhy predátorů mohou negativně ovlivňovat populace vodních ptáků. Zde sledujeme vliv odstranění norka amerického na úspěšnost umělých hnízd v lineárních transeptech podél řeky Jihlavy. Výsledky jasně ukázaly krátkodobý pozitivní efekt odstranění norka na přežívání hnízd.
