Influence of habitat conditions on abundance and diversity of shrews (Eulipotyphla, Soricidae) in Moravia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the years between 2005 and 2012, this study has evaluated the relative abundance and diversity of insectivores of the shrew family (Soricidae) in lowland, upland, and mountain forest habitats of Moravia. In each of these three different elevation levels, two types of habitats were further defined. They include old growth forests, with tall, fruiting trees and a limited herbaceous forest floor, as well as forest clearings with dense undergrowth of herbs and grasses, which means a total of six types of habitats. Shrews were captured using snap traps set up in lines. A total of 302 individuals belonging to seven species were found. The most abundant and most dominant species was Sorex araneus (rA = 0.313; D = 73.45%), while other species were present in much lower numbers. To evaluate the communities, the used ecological indices included diversity, equitability, and similarity. The highest number of species was found in mountain clearings (n = 5), while the lowest occurred in old upland forests (n = 1). The highest diversity was in old growth lowland forests (H' = 1.194), the lowest in upland forests. In terms of abundance and diversity, forest clearings were richer than old forests, while mountain and lowland forests were richer than uplands forests. In terms of species, the most similar were communities of old growth mountain forests and mountain forest clearings. Forest clearings as early successional forest habitats with rich herbaceous undergrowth in lowlands and mountains proved to be important environmental refugia for this group of small mammals in the landscape.
