Effect of seed crop of trees on the abundance and body parameters of granivorous mammals in isolated forest stands of Southern Moravia (Czech Republic)

Polish Journal of Ecology (2008)

Josef Suchomel Marta Heroldová

Effects of heavy seed crop (mainly oak mast) in year 2003 and 2004 (no seed crops) on small mammal communities in three isolated stands of broad leaved lowland forests (area 60-280 ha) with different management were studied in southern Moravia in three sites: (1) close-to-nature not managed floodplain forest - Ulmeto-Fraxinetum carpineum (FF), (2) managed forest - Carpineto-Quercetum acerosum (MF), (3) pheasantry - Ulmeto-Fraxinetum carpineum, Sali- ceto-Alnetum and Carpineto-Quercetum acerosum, with a considerable number of biotopes including open areas (PH). We presumed the influence of seed production on mammal species, especially granivorous rodents. In the most numerous spe- cies (Apodemus flavicollis (Mel.), A. sylvaticus (L.) and Myodes glareolus (Pallas)) the demographic parameters (abundance, sex ratio), body mass, and body length were compared between popu- lations in 2003 and 2004 in each stand. Animals were trapped in snap mousetraps laid out in lines. In 2003 reproduction of both Apodemus sp. was extended to November in contrast to 2004, when it ceased already in the end of summer. Individual body mass of animals were significantly higher in 2004 vs. 2003 in all three species (A. flavicollis, P = 0.01; A. sylvaticus, P <0.01 and Myodes glareolus, P <0.05) but body length was higher only in case of A. sylvaticus (P <0.01). The forest stands under study in an intensively managed agroecosystem in southern Moravia play an important role as a refuge for small mammals.

Systematic error is of minor importance to feedback structure estimates derived from time series of nonlinear population indices

Population Ecology (2010)

Emil Tkadlec Lenka Lisická‐Lachnitová Jan Losík Marta Heroldová

Abstract Most modern population dynamics analyses of time series use simple population indices for ecological inference. These indices, collected for many years for various agricultural pests or game animals, are generally believed not to distort systematically feedback estimates because the assumption of linearity to population size roughly holds. To assess the relative importance of this assumption, we examined the effect of nonlinearity in a burrow index for voles on feedback estimates obtained through autoregressive modeling. We show that the issue of linearity is of less importance to ecological inference because the feedback estimates are routinely obtained on a logarithmic scale. Transforming data to logs has a strong linearization effect, removing most of the nonlinearity observed on the original scale. We conclude that the statistical tools for ecological inference, such as autoregressive log‐linear models, are sufficiently robust to the systematic error imposed by index nonlinearity and that indices are valuable sources of ecological information even in situations when the assumed linear functional forms to population size were not exactly validated. We suggest that for time series modelers, the issue of a large sampling variation in small “noisy” populations is by far a more burning one than the systematic error due to index nonlinearity.

Influence of no‐tillage versus tillage system on common vole (Microtus arvalis) population density

Pest Management Science (2017)

Marta Heroldová Radek Michalko Josef Suchomel Jan Zejda

Abstract BACKGROUND While the ‘no‐tillage’ management system generally improves soil properties and helps to control arthropod pests, it may also intensify crop infestation by the common vole ( Microtus arvalis Pallas). In this study, we evaluated the impact of soil management (no‐tillage or tillage), crop and previous crop (winter wheat or winter rape), and season (spring or autumn) on common vole density using data from the Common Vole Monitoring Programme undertaken by the Plant Protection Service of the Czech Republic between 2000 and 2009. RESULTS Models predicted low mean values of vole infestation across management types, crops, and seasons. The untilled fields hosted significantly more voles than the tilled fields in spring but not in autumn. More common voles were found in winter rape than in winter wheat during both seasons. CONCLUSION Recent studies suggest that no‐tillage management is more profitable than tillage management as a result of its positive impact on soil properties and pest control. During periods of high vole infestation, however, tillage may constitute an alternative strategy for reducing yield losses. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

Determinants of the prevalence ofHeligmosomum costellatum(Heligmosomidae: Trichostrongyloidea) in a common vole population in southern Moravia, Czech Republic

Journal of Helminthology (2010)

Eva Jánová M. Škorič Marta Heroldová F. Tenora P. Fictum

Abstract A study of nematode ( Heligmosomum costellatum ) prevalence in the common vole ( Microtus arvalis ) population was performed in 2002 and 2003 in an agricultural region of southern Moravia, Czech Republic. The influence of the trapping date, body weight, age, gender and reproduction of the common vole on the prevalence of the larvae of H. costellatum encapsulated in the stomach wall was examined. Of 503 common voles examined, 27.6% were H. costellatum positive. The prevalence of H. costellatum in the common vole population was influenced mainly by the weight, trapping date, year and reproductive state, as well as by the interactions between year and gender and between year and reproductive state. The influence of age was weak. The most infected common vole groups were the older, heavier and already reproducing females captured from April to August and all voles captured in 2002. In general, parasite prevalence seems to be dependent on the population parameters of the host species. However, the H. costellatum prevalence study in a single common vole population was not sufficient to fully describe and explain the nematode–host interactions.

Conspicuous Demographic and Individual Changes in a Population of the Common Vole in a Set-Aside Alfalfa Field

Annales Zoologici Fennici (2008)

Eva Jánová Marta Heroldová Josef Bryja

The termination of agricultural production in intensively managed fields leads to the succession of weed communities and to changes in the vegetation cover and food supply for animals. We studied a population of the common vole on a regularly managed alfalfa field in southern Moravia (Czech Republic) during two and a half consecutive years. When the field was set aside, the vegetation cover transformed significantly and we studied the same vole population for the next three years. Multi-annual variation in population size disappeared; maximal abundances decreased, and mean body size tended to be lower in the weed-filled habitat. We observed conspicuous seasonal patterns in the proportion of breeding females, sex ratio and in litter size variation; however these patterns did not depend on the field management regime. The set-aside field had a strong effect on vole population dynamics; however, other well-designed studies are needed to distinguish between the possible causal processes (immigration, natality or survival) of the observed changes.
