Influence of environmental factors on a population of goitred gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosaGüldenstaedt, 1780) in semi-wild conditions in an arid environment: a preliminary study

A population of goitred gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosaGüldenstaedt, 1780) has been created and maintained in the Bukhara Breeding Centre, Uzbekistan since 1977. Population dynamics and range usage have been analysed for the period from 1978 to 1995. In 1989 the population in 5126 ha of...

Zusammenfassung:	A population of goitred gazelles (Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosaGüldenstaedt, 1780) has been created and maintained in the Bukhara Breeding Centre, Uzbekistan since 1977. Population dynamics and range usage have been analysed for the period from 1978 to 1995. In 1989 the population in 5126 ha of the reserve peaked at 1224; in 1995 it was 580. Breeding success was correlated with meteorological conditions and was density-dependent. Changes of plant associations, connected with the gazelles population growth, are discussed.
