Sažetak
Slovenia and Croatia share the same brown bear population. The species is formally strictly protected with culling regulated through “derogations” in Slovenia while in Croatia it is still managed as a game species. The aim of our study was to gain insight into the long-term sustainability of different management regimes. We used bear mortality data for Slovenia from 1998 to 2008 (n = 922) and for Croatia from 2005 to 2009 (n = 422). A two-sample test for equality of proportions indicated that, in the total reported mortality, the share of animals killed in quota hunting in Slovenia (59, 4%) was significantly lower (χ2-sq. = 7.1, df = 1, p<0.01) than in Croatia (67, 2%). The proportion of management removals in Slovenia (17, 8%) was significantly higher than in Croatia (6, 0% ; χ2-sq. = 32.1, df = 1, p<0.0001). The proportion of males hunted within the given quota was significantly (χ2-sq.=17.7, df=1, p<0.0001) larger in Croatia (78, 3%, n = 281) than in Slovenia (63, 7%, n = 548). The average age of bears killed in quota in Croatia was 5, 47±0, 27 (1 s.e., n = 167) and in Slovenia 2, 82+0, 12 years (1 s.e., n = 418). Survival analysis run in “R2.12.0” showed that until the end of the 4th year of life survival rate was 0, 21 in Slovenia and 0, 52 in Croatia. Results confirmed that different management regimes could have different effects on the bear population. We see this approach as a step towards safer decision-making on the bear harvest in Slovenia and Croatia.
