Spatial structure and land-cover use in a low-density Mediterranean population of Eurasian badgers (2004, background): “, 1758), that have extensive geographical ranges across which one might expect adaptations to exist for very different habitats, and thus diets (e.g., Kruuk and Parish 1981; Goszczynski et al. 2000; Rosalino et al. 2005a), habitat use (e.”
Environmental correlates of badger social spacing across Europe (2002, background): “…in badger social behaviour and density in the British Isles arise because of an unusual dispersion of patchy resources (Kruuk, 1978a; Kruuk & Parish, 1982; Johnson et al., 2000), difference in available food types (Goszczynski et al., 2000), or differences in habitat (Kowalczyk et al., 2000).”
Trophic diversity of the otter (Lutra lutra L.) in temperate and Mediterranean freshwater habitats (2003, background): “) (Martı́n et al., 1995; Goszczyński et al., 2000), which in Mediterranean Iberia strongly predate upon rabbits (Oryctogalus cuniculus), an extremely abundant prey.”
Annual and circadian activity patterns of badgers (Meles meles) in Białowieża Primeval Forest (eastern Poland) compared with other Palaearctic populations (2003, background): “Similar patterns of seasonal changes in badger circadian activity to those in BPF were reported in France and Switzerland (Maurel & Boissin, 1983; Ferrari, 1997).”
Carnivory is Positively Correlated with Latitude among Omnivorous Mammals: Evidence from Brown Bears, Badgers and Pine Martens (2009, background): “To date, relatively few studies carried out wide-scale comparisons of the food habits of widespread omnivorous mammals: two mustelids, the European badger (Meles meles) (Goszczynski et al. 2000) and the European pine marten (Martes martes) (Zalewski 2004), being the only examples.”
Badger density and distribution of setts in Białowieża Primeval Forest (Poland and Belarus) compared to other Eurasian populations (2000, background): “We propose that the most plausible biological mechanism behind this correlation is the supply and availability of earthworms, the most important food of badgers throughout the temperate and boreal zone (Goszczyński et al. 2000).”
Trophic diversity of the otter (Lutra lutra L.) in temperate and Mediterranean freshwater habitats (2003, background): “…as the Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus, Temminck), the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos, L.) (Delibes, 1975) and the badger (Meles meles, L.) (Martín et al., 1995; Goszczyński et al., 2000), which in Mediterranean Iberia strongly predate upon rabbits (Oryctogalus cuniculus), an extremely abundant prey.”
Biogeographical patterns in the diet of the wildcat, Felis silvestris Schreber, in Eurasia: factors affecting the trophic diversity (2006, background): “In a recent study of wildcats in central Spain, Malo et al. (2004) found that feeding habits can differ in nearby locations due to differences in the availability of prey species, particularly rabbits.”
Biogeographical variation in the diet of Holarctic martens (genus Martes, Mammalia: Carnivora: Mustelidae): adaptive foraging in generalists (2011, background): “…et al., 1993), but broad-scale investigations have revealed that badgers can shift their emphasis to vegetable matter when fruit or cereals are abundant (Goszczyński et al., 2000); the same pattern has also been reported for broader temporal scales within a study area (Rosalino et al., 2005).”
