	abstract = {Movements and activity patterns of an adult radio-tagged female brown bear accompanied by her cubs were documented for the first time in Rodopi area (NE Greece) from August 2000 to July 2002. Average daily movements were 2.45 {\textpm} 2.26 SD km, (range 0.15-8.5 km). The longest daily range could be related to human disturbance (hunting activity).The longest seasonal distance (211 km), during summer 2001 coincided with the dissolution of the family. With cubs, the female was more active during daytime (73 \% of all radio-readings) than when solitary (28 \%). The female switched to a more crepuscular behaviour, after separation from the yearling (July 2001). According to pooled data from 924 activity - recording sessions, during the whole monitoring period, the female was almost twice as active during day time while rearing cubs (51\% active) than when solitary (23\%). The autumn and early winter home range size of the family was larger (280 km2) than after the separation from the cubs (59 km2). During the family group phase, home range size varied from 258 km2 in autumn to 40 km2 in winter (average denning period lasted 107 days : December 2000-March 2001). The bear hibernated in the Bulgarian part of the Rodopi Range during winters of 2001 and 2002.},

	abstract = {Broadcasted jackal howls were used to survey the status of the golden jackal in Greece. All sites with recent indication of jackal presence were surveyed at selected calling stations, and minimum population estimates were recorded. The results of the survey show that both populations and distribution area of the golden jackal in Greece have been declining steadily during the last three decades. The golden jackal has disappeared from Central and Western Greece and is currently confined in discontinuous, isolated population clusters in Peloponnese, Fokida, Samos isl., Halkidiki and North-eastern Greece. The reduction was more distinct in Southern Greece, which used to be the jackal{\textquoteright}s main area 20 years ago. The current minimum size of the jackal population in Greece was estimated at 152-162 different territorial groups. The largest population cluster was found in Nestos - Vistonida area, NE Greece. In Southern Greece, the jackal is found in the Mediterranean maquis zone at altitudes below 600m asl. Some individuals were observed up to 1000m asl, but were considered exceptional. In Northern Greece the species was found in areas below 250m asl while the highest population densities were found in thickets around wetlands up to 10m asl.},
