Horváth, Gy., Molnár, Dániel - Csonka, Gergely: Population dynamics and spatial pattern of small mammals in protected forest and reforested area - Kisemlősök populációdinamikája és térbeli mintázata védett erdei és újraerdősödő területen

HORVÁTH ET AL.: POPULATION DYNAMICS AND SPATIAL PATTERN 199 Fig. 3.: Estimated abundance values of striped field mouse {A. agrárius) and yellow-necked wood mouse (A. flavicollis) populations in Grids A and В of the sample area of Lankóci-forest in 2004 when data in the life history matrix proved to be insufficient for an estimation. The most estimations were obtained for the two Apodemus {A. agrárius and A. flavicollis) popu­lations. Estimated population sizes were charted for each species, with data for Grids A and В shown in the same graph, the standard error of the estimation also indicated (Fig. 3.). Population size of the bank vole, thus, could be estimated for Grid A only. Quite sim­ilar results were obtained for August and September (August: 41 individuals/ha, September: 46 individuals/ha). In August it was the most fitting M th-estimator, (Mth: recapture probability is time-dependent and also depends on individual variability with­in the population), and in September the M 0-estimator (M 0 : recapture probability is con­stant in time) that proved to be suitable for population estimation. In November the esti­mated population size (11 individuals/ha) indicated well that individuals emigrate from the area, resulting in a population decline in the closed forest. When estimations were made from August and September data, high standard errors were obtained, thus varia­tion coefficients produced percentages that were higher than acceptable (August: cv = 27.12 %, September: cv = 27.99 %), based on which the estimated values for these two months can not be regarded statictically acceptable. In November higher capture success produced acceptable estimation for this species, too (cv = 10.14 %) (Fig. 4.).
