Abstract

Dens as a useful shelter play an important role in social behavior development. However, movement between dens incurs a big cost upon animals especially upon carnivores but this cost will be compensated by benefits derived from territory recognition. Hyenas use dens for different goals including as shelter during the day, for breeding and cub rearing, and also for resting. Ecological status of the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) denning region was investigated in Haftadgholeh protected area using MaxEnt method. For this purpose, we used 30 dens localities and 11 Effective variables. The model was run ten times and the mean map was selected as prediction map. The validity of model was assessed by ROC statistical procedure. Based on obtained results, the prediction model of denning regions of species was successful (AUC=0. 76) and on all of threshold limits it is significantly different from random model (P-value<0. 001). Also, based on the sensitivity analysis results, the most effective variables on denning of this species was landuse (range lands), altitude, slope and geomorphological types of region. The suitable den in this region defined with vegetation cover types constitute Stipa barbata, Astragalus spp., Artemisia aucheri in limestone regions with shallow sandy soil, and in east and south-west aspects with 22 percent of slope. Our result showed that due to the role den has for survival of animals, identifying factor affecting on den site contribute to better recognition of ecological niches.
