Description:

The preliminary results of studies on food niches of predators in the Białowieża National Park, the last remnant of European virgin lowland forests, are presented. The winter diet of seven native species (wolf, lynx, red fox, pine marten, polecat, stoat, and tawny owl) and one introduced species (racoon-dog) was determined by scat analysis. Pianka's index α of niche overlap was calculated.
