Abstract

In this study, the activity of Canis lupus was monitored with trap technique of infrared camera in the Qiaomuxibai released area of Equus przewalskii in the Karamori Mountain Ungulate Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, China. It was found that the daily activity difference index (α) and diurnal activity index (β) of C. lupus were quite different from different months (α: t=8.009, df=7, P<0.01; β: t=13.526, df=7, P<0.01, and β=0.45<13/24), which revealed that C. lupus is a species of nocturnal animal in the study area. The seasonal activity patterns of C. lupus during the period from 2011 to 2013 were obviously different (2011: χ2=13.087,df=2,P=0.041 1;2012: χ2=12.452,df=2,P=0.023 4; and 2013: χ2=18.998, df=2, P=0.032 6). It could be conclude that there were the differences in seasonal and annual activities of C. lupus in the study area.
