We investigated winter selection of resting sites by wolves in a commercial pine forest to test if roads, settlements, and type of forest influenced the resting behaviour of wolves during the day and at night. At the landscape scale, wolves selected resting sites that were farther from settlements, public roads and high-traffic forest roads than random points. At the fine scale, wolves chose sites that were more concealed and farther from the closest forest road than random points. During the day, wolves tended to rest in thickets and forest with understorey, whereas at night they rested in more open habitats. The concealment of resting sites was higher when wolves rested closer to high-traffic forest roads and during the day. Our results indicate that certain forestry practices enhance concealment opportunities and might therefore be beneficial for wolves

掩护下的狼:人为因素在商业林休息地点选择中的重要性

我们调查了狼在商业松林中冬季对休息地点的选择,以测试道路、定居点和森林类型是否会影响狼在白天和晚上的休息行为。在景观尺度上,狼选择比随机点更远离定居点、公共道路和高流量森林道路的休息地点。在精细尺度上,狼选择的地点比随机点更隐蔽、距离最近的林道更远。白天,狼倾向于在灌木丛和有下层的森林中休息,而在夜间,它们则在更开阔的栖息地休息。当狼在靠近高流量森林道路和白天休息时,休息地点的隐蔽性更高。
