Citación: | Journal of Wildlife Management 87(4): e22377 (2023) | Resumen: | Public surveys can be valuable tools to collect information on wildlife distribution. Our objective was to improve the knowledge on the distribution and expanding areas of the Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon) in central Spain by using an on-line questionnaire to hunters. We assessed the reliability of information that hunters provided by comparing it with reports from wildlife professionals. Our results show a high overall congruence but significantly different information provided by hunters and professionals on the distribution of the Egyptian mongoose, suggesting that both sources provide unique data for the management of non-game species. For example, hunters reported greater mongoose presence than professionals in areas to the east of Toledo and Ciudad Real provinces, for the whole distribution and core area of the species, suggesting that hunters could help to detect other areas where the species exists. Overall, our findings stress the importance of engaging hunters in wildlife conservation, as they can share valuable information on wildlife species, including those that are not hunted. | Descripción: | Data consist of records of Egyptian mongoose provided by hunters and professionals and such records are shown in the figures. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.22377 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/307625 | DOI: | 10.1002/jwmg.22377 | ISSN: | 0022-541X | E-ISSN: | 1937-2817 |
