| Abstract | The study deals with the food spectrum of the European wildcat. It is based on the analysis of the stomach contents of 38 individuals, collected in NE Slovakia during the winters of 1959–1970. Morphometric analysis of wildcat skins revealed that males were significantly larger than females. We hypothesised, that due to their different body sizes, there should be some differences in food niche between the two sexes. Rodents, particularlyMicrotus arvalis andClethrionomys glareolus, were the dominant component of the diet, which is consistent with other European studies. There were no significant differences in diet composition between sexes. Similarly, we observed no season-dependent differences, that would point to seasonal shifts in foraging strategy. Thus, our results do not confirm the hypothesis of sexually segregated food niches in the European wildcat.Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit dem Nahrungsspektrum der Wildkatze. Die Arbeit basiert auf der Analyse der Mageninhalte von 38 Individuen, die während der Winter 1959–1970 in der NO-Slowakei gesammelt wurden. Die morphometrische Analyse der Wildkatzenfelle ergab, dass männliche Tiere deutlich größer waren als weibliche. Aufgrund dieses Unterschieds in der Körpergröße wurde die Hypothese formuliert, dass zwischen den Geschlechtern Unterschiede im Nahrungsspektrum existieren. Entsprechend den Ergebnissen anderer europäischer Studien, bildeten Nager, vor allemMicrotus arvalis undClethrionomys glareolus, den Hauptbestandteil der Nahrung. Die Nahrungszusammensetzung der beiden Geschlechter war nicht signifikant verschieden. Auch wurden keine saisonalen Unterschiede in der Nahrungszusammensetzung beobachtet, was auf eine jahreszeitliche Veränderung des Nahrungsspektrums hindeuten würde. Unsere Ergebnisse lieferten somit keine Bestätigung der Hypothese einer Geschlechts-abhängigen Nahrungsnischen-Trennung bei der Wildkatze.L'étude s'attache à dégager le spectre alimentaire du Chat sauvage en se référant à l'analyse de contenus stomacaux de 38 individus, contenus récoltés entre 1959 et 1970 dans le Nord-Ouest de la Slovaquie. L'analyse morphométrique des peaux de chats sauvages a indiqué que les individus mâles étaient sensiblement plus grands que les individus femelles. Sur base de cette différence de taille corporelle, l'hypothèse est formulée selon laquelle cette différence doit se répercuter au niveau des choix alimentaires en fonction du sexe. De faÇon comparable aux résultats d'autres études européennes, les rongeurs, surtout Microtus arvalis et Clethryonomys glareolus, constituaient l'essentiel de l'alimentation. Le régime alimentaire des deux sexes ne présentait pas de différences significatives. De mÊme, on ne put faire état de différences significatives liées aux saison, ce qui aurait indiqué un changement de la stratégie alimentaire. Ainsi, nos résultats ne confirment pas l'hypothèse d'une ségrégation de niches alimentaires en fonction du sexe du Chat sauvage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
