Bark Peeling

Abstract Browsing and bark peeling by ungulates is known to affect biodiversity and may constitute the main driving factor of single tree population dynamics. In Slovakia, European yew (Taxus baccata L.) is a threatened species protected by law and present in many protected areas. In the study, we emphasize that protecting land and individual plants may not be sufficient for maintaining of yew populations, unless controlling over damage by deer game is also undertaken. Our results show that in beech forests of the Veľká Fatra Mts, browsing and bark peeling constitute the main negative factor affecting yew seedling-sapling ingrowth transition, and the mortality and vitality loss of adult yew trees. We argue that ungulates may have a larger effect on biodiversity conservation than currently realized.

Impact Injuries

Some 80 adult and over 250 juvenile A. tenebrosa, the total natural population on 2.5 m² of a stable rock substratum, were tracked for up to 738 days. In this period 24% of adults and 10% of juveniles moved > 250 mm, Some adults and many juveniles showed no discernible locomotion at all, although most juveniles survived less than 20 days. Large, directed movements of up to 1.6 m were sometimes associated with such external factors as impact injuries from moving rocks or logs, physical shocks, repeated desiccation, interference from molluscs, or wounding from intraspecific aggression. Acrorhagi are the nematocyst-bearing structures, present in most A. tenebrosa larger than about 10 mm column diameter, which are used in intraspecific conflicts. Some 44 % of adults were involved in fights with other adults over the 2 years of observations. None of those fights was fatal. Contact of two adult A. tenebrosa did not always result in an aggressive conflict, but after intraspecific aggression, in both field and laboratory situations, the wounded anemone moved directly away from the site of wounding.
