“…According to Kurt (1968) the average realized production during the autumn period per female was 0.95 young, while Fruziński & Ła-budzki (1982) estimated realized production in a population of forest roe deer on a similar level. When examining, inter alia, realized production, by means of complete elimination, by shooting of roe deer in one of the shelterbelts in the Czempiń experimental area (Pielowski & Bresiński, 1982), the index of realized production was identical to that obtained in this study, i.e. 0.8 young reared per female of reproductive age.…”

“…Attention has been drawn to this problem by , Nikoladie (1968), Prusaite et al (1974), Pielowski & Bresiński (1982), Fruziński & Łabudzki (1982). Variations in sex structure in the population at Czempiń were due only to a slight degree to selective shooting.…”

“…The estimates given by Bobek et al (1974) and Fruziński & Łabudzki (1982b) are slightly higher, being respectively 2.4 and 2.9 years. Pielowski and Bresiński (1982), by means of complete elimination by shooting, estimated the average age of a roe deer population as 3.41 years. The relatively great survival of individuals in the study population may depend, inter alia, on relatively little game shooting.…”

1Jan KAŁUZIlŚrSKI Kałuziński J., 1982: Dynamics and structure of a field roe deer population. Acta theriol., 27, 27: 385-408 [With 9 Tables & 10 Figs.l The purpose of these studies was to obtain data on variations in numbers, reproduction, mortality, survival and age and sex structure. The data were collected over a period of 14 years, and using them as a basis a quantitative balance was drawn up for a population living in an agrocenosis. Average density of roe deer was 7 individuals/100 ha, and the number born was 1.9 young per female. Natural mortality among young roe deer was high (56% of the number born) and distinctly influences effective production, the average value for which is 0.8 juv/female. Mortality among adult animals was on an average 21%, varying from 7-51% of the spring numbers from the precedingyear. In years which prove catastrophic for the population about 50°/o of the roe deer die during the first year of life. Average length of life of an individual was 3.5 years. Females predominated over males throughout the whole study period (56:44). Game shooting refered first of all to animals from 0-7 years old from the population, and applies to 89% of males and 84% of females. Population numbers were determined by mortality among young and adult animals and by constant game shooting of about 8.1%, and apart from catastrophic years exhibits a tendency to increase. Losses due to game shooting and average natural losses were effectively replenished in the study population.

“…Age of voles was determined using dry eye lens weight, obliteration of sutures, and development of bone crests following the description by Markowski (1980). Age in roe deer specimens was determined on the basis of the teeth wear (Pielowski 1970). Brown hares were aged exclusively using dry eye lens weight (< 270 mg -juveniles, > 270 mg -adults).…”

Janusz MARKOWSKI Markowski J. 1995. Non-metric traits: remarks on sex dependence, age dependence, and on intercorrelations among characters. I In: Ecological genetics in mammals II. G. B. Hartl and J. Markowski, eds]. Acta Theriologica, Suppl. 3: 65-74.Interdependence among non-metric traits as well as their correlation with sex, age, and body size usually cause methodological problems in phenetic investigations. Based on data on four mammalian species (Microtus oeconomus, M. limnophilus, Lepus europaeus, Capreolus capreolus) studied by the author, and on data from the literature these problems were analyzed. Both the number and the coefficients of intercorrelations among traits were found to depend on sample sizes of individuals examined. They were larger in populations with progressive and faster body growth. The number of traits related to sex increased significantly with sex dimorphism across mammalian species. Age dependence of traits did not show a regular pattern within and among species. These results are discussed as to their implications for estimating morphological differentiation within and among populations.

“…The present study is one of several relating to a given population of field roe deer (Bresiński, 1982;Kałuziński, 1982;Pielowski & Bresiński, 1982). The purpose of this study was to examine some elements of population structure, chiefly in connection with spatial organization survival and longevity of individuals.…”
