Ethogram of the Martino s snow vole (Dinaromys bogdanovi, Martino 1922)

Abstract

Osam jedinki vrste dinarskog voluhara promatrano je u zatočeništvu u različitim životnim razdobljima u periodu od 10 mjeseci. Cilj istraživanja bio je sastaviti etogram, popis svih uočenih ponašanja dinarskog voluhara u laboratorijskim uvjetima. Ponašanja su izravno za vrijeme opažanja bilježena opisom riječima i njihovim skiciranjem u dnevniku opažanja te su snimana videokamerom. Analizom zabilježenog u dnevnik i na snimkama videokamere napravljen je etogram gdje su opisanim ponašanjima priložene i odgovarajuće fotografije. Popisano je 58 ponašanja koja su grupirana u dvije cjeline, 10 kategorija i tri potkategorije.Eight specimens of the Martino`s vole were observed in captivity during different age periods through 10 months. The goal of the research was to make an ethogram, a list of all observable behaviours of the Martino`s vole in laboratory conditions. Behaviours were directly noted by verbal description and drawing into the laboratory notebook and recorded with digital video camera. The ethogram was made by analysing the notes and the video camera recordings, and it consists of behaviour descriptions and photographs. There were 58 behaviours listed and they were grouped in two wholes with 10 categories and tree subcategories
