Cím:	Predation on the endangered Hungarian meadow viper (Vipera ursinii rakosiensis) by badger (Meles meles) and fox (Vulpes vulpes) / Attila Móré, Edvárd Mizsei
Dátum:	2019
Megjegyzések:	Hungarian meadow viper (Vipera ursinii rakosiensis) is a globally endangered reptile with a few subpopulations remained after habitat loss and fragmentation. Now all habitats are protected by law in Hungary and significant conservation effort have been implemented by habitat reconstruction, development and ex-situ breeding and reintroductions, but the abundance is still very low and the impact of conservation interventions are nearly immeasurable according to densities. Hypotheses have been raised, as the predation pressure is the main factor influencing viper abundance. Here we analysed the diet of potential mammalian predators (Badger and Fox) at a Hungarian meadow viper habitat, and found high prevalence of viper remains in the processed faecal samples, and estimated a high number of preyed vipers within half season in a single site. Assuming that every faeces with viper remains are independent cases of preying only one viper individual, our result suggests in the study time at the study site at least 46 Hungarian meadow viper was preyed by Badgers, and 10 by Foxes. Effective predator control is recommended to support habitat developments and reintroduction.
