Characteristics of Siberian Roe Deer (Capreolus pygargus Pall., 1771) Territory Using and Daily Course in the Early Winter Period in Central Yakutia according to Satellite Telemetry Data
Abstract
Nowadays the use of satellite telemetry for study of animal ecology is still actual. The domestic radio transmitter «Pulsar» of the satellite system «Argos» / GLONASS was first used to monitor the movements and determine the daily course of the Siberian roe deer of Yakutia under natural conditions. The ob- servation range was selected from the protected areas of the Republic, the resource reserve «Jorono» in the Khangalasskiy district. A female Siberian roe deer was caught on the Lena River crossing. After that, the sat- ellite collar was fixed on the animal, after the installation, the roe deer was released. The location data from the transmitter were obtained in the early winter period during the month of 2014. With the help of these lo- cations, 25 diurnal movements of the roe deer were determined. Using of GIS processing, the boundaries of the site and habitat were determined, the selectivity by stations and the influence of weather factors on the daily course during the observation period were revealed. The first experience of the study of the Siberian roe deer ecology with the help of satellite telemetry of the GPS-radio allowed to obtain scientific data on the use of the territory by ungulates in the early winter period. The received data will be used for Siberian roe deer population counts in Central Yakutia.
Supporting agencies: The study was performed under the program «The structure and dynamics of popula- tions and communities of animals in the cold region of the North-East of Russia in the current climate of global climate change and anthropogenic transformation of northern ecosystems: factors, mechanisms, adap- tations, conservation» of IBPK SB RAS. Registration number: АААА-А17-117020110058-4. The authors thank the Khangalassky Nature Conservation Inspection of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) for assistance in transport support during collecting material for the study, Mr A.L. Salman for preparing an experimental radio collar for the Siberian roe deer and for helping with the technical support of the work.
