Relation between daytime activities and environmental conditions in Tatra chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra tatrica)

The influence of selected ecological variables on the behaviour of the Tatra chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra tatrica) was analysed in the presented study. Both sexes including juvenile individuals were tested. In females, important correlations were found among particular activities and amount of sunshine, aspect and slope of their habitat. Females with juveniles changed sites more often, and they used a wide range of habitats with various attributes. Males had less variable activities which either corresponded to ecological factors or their solitary life strategy. The behavioural activity of males was most influenced by sunshine amount, temperature and slope of their habitat.
