Space use and activity in a mediterranean population of badgers Meles meles

Activity, spatial ecology, and pattern of sett use of’a mèditerranean population of badgers Metes metes Linnaeus, 1758 are described. Data come from Doilaun National Park (SW Spain) where a 1-year radio-tracking study and a 9-year capture-recapture study were carried out. Badger home ranges were spa...
