摘要:
AbstractThis paper describes a predictive model for estimating the density and distribution of Badger social groups, in the south‐west of England, based on habitat characteristics. Main sett density was used as an index of Badger social group density, and a preliminary study to define the different types of Badger sett observed in the field and to establish a relationship between main sett density and social group density is also described. The habitat characteristics that emerged as having the most influence on Badger social group density were the ‘diggability’ of the soils, the topography of the area, altitude, the length of hedgerows and the number of woodland units greater than 1 ha. The application of the model is briefly disc
