Application of GIS technology in the analysis of wolf Canis lupus L. behaviour and migration routes in the landscape
The paper presents the results of tracking a pack of wolves carried out between January and February 2013 in the Forest Division of Solec Kujawski in Bydgoszcz Forest, which surrounds three cities – Bydgoszcz, Toruń and Solec Kujawski, and locally encroaches on their administrative areas. The behavi...
