“…Our results demonstrate a negative relationship between population density and home range size in urban carnivores, confirming a pattern previously reported for the red fox (Trewhella et al. ), island fox Urocyon littoralis (Sanchez ) and Eurasian badger (Kauhala & Holmala ). High population densities of urban carnivores, in connection with increased inter and intraspecific competition and predation in overlapping home ranges, may affect many behavioural and ecological characteristics, such as social organization (Baker et al.…”

“…earthworms Lumbricus terrestris in these forests. Also earlier studies showed that rich mixed/deciduous forests were favoured by badgers in Finland (Holmala and Kauhala, 2009;Kauhala and Holmala, 2011) and elsewhere in Europe (e.g. Kruuk, 1978;Seiler et al, 1995;Revilla et al, 2000).…”

“…Small home ranges in areas with deciduous forests also indicate that they offer abundant resources for badgers (e.g. Kruuk and Parish, 1982;Brøseth et al, 1997;Kowalczyk et al, 2003;Kauhala and Holmala, 2011). The badgers' preference for pine forests is due to the fact that many badger setts were under big rocks in pine forests, and many latrines were in the core areas near the setts (pers.…”

“…We suggest that the reason for this lies in the fact that older forests are structurally more complex than young forests and non‐forested areas (McCleary & Mowat, ), and provide alternative opportunities for denning sites to other mesocarnivores and therefore reduce niche overlap and interference competition. Moreover, Kauhala & Holmala () have shown that the internal complexity of forests favours the occurrence of badgers, and based on our results, badgers preferred sett sites in older forests.…”
