Sažetak
Prevention of the extinction of the Dinaric – Southeastern Alpine lynx population is the main goal of the LIFE Lynx project (LIFE16 NAT/SI/000634), within which we aim to increase genetic variability of the inbred Dinaric lynx population by translocating unrelated individuals from the Carpathian population. Individual's integration is considered successful if the animal survived at least one year after the release and established a territory in the area where a lynx of opposite sex is registered. In the period 2019 – 2021, we have released eight animals captured in Romania and Slovakia into the Dinaric Mountains. Four adult males were released in Slovenia and four males in Croatia. Released lynx are monitored with telemetry collars furnished with both Iridium or GSM and VHF technology. However, we lost track of two animals due to unknown reasons ; first after 8 months and the other 1 day after the release. Monitored animals settled on average 23 days (SD=16.5) after the release. Two lynx left their initial home range 102 and 92 days post-release and went on second dispersal. First settled approximately 2 months later, 64 km straight-line distance from his initial home range, while the other is still in the process of establishing a territory. Current data suggest that four lynx are successfully integrated into the existing Dinaric population. Successful integration cannot be confirmed for the other four animals, among which two disappeared after the signal from the collar was lost, and other two appear to be still in the process of establishing a territory.
