Título: | The distribution of the Egyptian Mongoose Herpestes ichneumon (L.) in Portugal |
Autor: | Borralho, R.; Rego, F.; Palomares, Francisco CSIC ORCID; Hora, A. | Fecha de publicación: | 1996 | Editor: | Blackwell Publishing | Citación: | Mammal Review 26: 1- 8 (1996) | Resumen: | The current range and relative abundance of the Egyptian Mongoose Herpestes ichneumon (L.) in Portugal were studied using data obtained through direct field observations, personal communications and answers to enquiries. The present northern limit of its distribution has extended well beyond the Tagus River in most of its Portuguese range, indicating a probable expansion in recent years. A consistent increase in abundance was detected from north to south, latitude being highly correlated with computed indices of Mongoose abundance. The best-fit model for predicting Mongoose relative abundance in the country considers latitude and human population density simultaneously. Altitude is the only environmental variable significantly correlated with the Mongoose abundance once the influence of latitude is discounted. Available information appears to indicate that the Portuguese Mongoose population is increasing, nevertheless research is needed in order to assess the impact of current predator control schemes on local populations. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/64440 | DOI: | 0.1111/j.1365-2907.1996.tb00144.x | Identificadores: | doi: 0.1111/j.1365-2907.1996.tb00144.x issn: 0305-1838 |
