Carnivores are often particularly sensitive to landscape fragmentation. Ecological corridors may help to connect local populations, ensuring gene flow and retaining viable meta-populations. We aimed to establish habitat suitability models for two large carnivores in Poland, the grey wolf Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758 and the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx Linnaeus, 1758, based on ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA). Secondly, we calculated least cost paths (LCPs) based on cost values obtained from ENFA. Thirdly, we determined structures that might act as barriers, thus diminishing the value of the corridor unless appropriate conservation measures are taken. We compared some of the results with actual dispersal data of four lynx in eastern Poland. Results indicate that both species are highly marginalised. Less habitat that is currently available in Poland is suitable for lynx than for wolves. We determined a total of 76 LCPs. Comparison of these theoretical corridors with actual dispersal routes suggests that the traits of calculated LCPs are mostly within the range of those of real routes. We highlight a variety of features that might act as barriers, such as major roads (including planned highways), urbanized areas, and large un-forested areas. We give suggestions where concerted conservation efforts (eg wildlife passages) might be particularly well-directed.

Habitat destruction and fragmentation caused by modern forestry and agriculture are some of the main problems for the long-term survival of many species. In this study, a bat community of 11 species was investigated with the objective to evaluate the impacts of patch size, distance between habitat patches and habitat quality on species number, and also to investigate the use of corridors. Habitat islands, varying in size from 0.1 to 98.7 ha, in an agriculture-dominated landscape were surveyed. Habitat use by four species; Myotis brandti (Eversmann, 1845), M. nattereri (Kuhl, 1818), Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber, 1774), and Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus, 1758), was recorded in detail. In a stepwise multiple regression species number was found to be positively related to the area of deciduous woodland, but not to the area of coniferous forest or the distance to the continuous forest. Three of the four study species avoided all kinds of open habitats. Corridors were used as hunting habitats. Different hypotheses that might explain behaviour in open habitats are discussed.
