Podejmowane są działania pozwalające w sposób nieinwazyjny monitorować środowisko z wykorzystaniem organizmów żywych. Celem prezentowanej pracy była porównawcza ocena zawartości pierwiastków w tkance mięśniowej i sierści lisa rudego oraz analiza korelacji między nimi. Skład pierwiastkowy tkanek badany był z zastosowaniem spektrometrii absorpcji atomowej AAS. Średnie stężenie pierwiastków w tkance mięsnej/sierści było następujące (žg/g): Ca - 81/758, Mg - 225/87, Zn - 23.7/129, Cu - 1.54/6, Fe - 36.6/31, Mn - 0.19/4.4, Pb - 0.12/0.3, Cd - 0.005/0.02, Al - 0.83/1.45, Cr - 0.34/0.42, Ni - 0.14/0.33. Stwierdzono, iż wiek i masa ciała wpływają na poziom Mn, Al i Fe. Statystycznie istotna korelacja między ilością Mn w tkance mięśniowej i w sierści może świadczyć o tym, iż sierść lisa może być dobrym wskaźnikiem zawartości tego pierwiastka w jego organizmie.

Works are being undertaken to monitor the environ-ment with the use of living organisms in non-invasively way. The aim of this study was a comparative evaluation of elements content in muscle tissue and hair of red fox and the analysis of correlation between them. Elemental composition of tissues has been tested using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) method. The average concentrations of elements in the meat tissue/hair were as follows: Ca - 81/758, Mg - 225/87, Zn - 23.7/129, Cu - 1.54/6, Fe - 36.6/31, Mn - 0.19/4.4, Pb - 0.12/0.3, Cd - 0.005/0.02, Al - 0.83/1.45, Cr - 0.34/0.42 and Ni - 0.14/0.33 (žg/g). It was found that age and body weight influence on the level of Mn, Al, and Fe. A statistically significant correlation between the Mn amount in the muscle and hair may indicate that red fox hair can be a good indicator of the content of this element in his body.

The mixture of the feces and urine of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes Linnaeus) was used to increase the perception of predation risk of plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae Hodgson) in the field. The influence of the predation risk on the reproduction and behavior of plateau pikas was examined through comparing reproductive characteristics and five different kinds of behavior between treatment and control plots. The results showed that 1) the body weight of the pikas was not significantly different between treatment and control plots. 2) The reproductive period of the pikas extended from March to later August in both treatment and control plots. The pregnant ratio, developed testes ratio, reproductive success and sex ratio of the pikas were not significantly different between the treatment and control plots. 3) The pikas increased their observing and calling frequencies and decreased their moving and feeding frequencies when exposed to red fox's feces and urine. 4) The increased red foxs feces and urine had no influence on the behavior of the pikas when the number of their natural enemies increased; the pikas obviously increased the observing frequencies and sharply decreased the calling frequency so as to decrease the direct predation risk. 5) There were no significantly behavioral differences between males and females as well as between adults and young. 6) The results reject the hypothesis l that the red fox's feces and urine as indirect predation risk suppresses the reproduction of the pikas and support the hypothesis 2 that the pikas can make decision by changing behavior to avoid the predation risk they encountered whenever.
