| Sammendrag: | Beaver (Castor spp.) normally scent mark by depositing castoreum and/or anal
gland secretion on scent mounds close to the water's edge. The aim of this study was to
investigate the hypothesis that the Eurasian beaver (C. fiber) scent marks as a means of
territory defense. Scent marking behavior was studied during an entire year (1 April 1995 -
31 March 1996) in 7 adjacent territories along 9.2 km of the Bø River in Telemark County,
Norway. The number and location of fresh scent marks were recorded biweekly. The main
results showed that:1) the number of scent marks in territories was significantly higher in
spring, when dispersal of subadults normally occurs, than during the rest of the year; 2) the
number of scent marks was clumped near territorial borders; and 3) the number of scent
marks were significantly greater upstream than downstream of the lodge. |
