| Changes in the Numbers of Predatory Mammals in the Middle Urals Caused by Anthropogenic Factors | |
| 2011 Russian Journal of Ecology (42): 231-235 | |
Degradation of fur hunting in the mid-1990s allowed the impact of hunting on some species of predatory mammals to be estimated. The numbers of sables, martens, foxes, and lynx were demonstrated to slowly decrease in the period of intense hunting: after pelt trade ceased, the numbers of sables, martens, and foxes increased by a factor of three within 15 years. Ermines and Siberian weasels had not experienced a substantial hunting pressure; changes in their numbers were caused by other factors. |
