Data from capture-recapture, radio-telemetry and recovery of marked quills were used to investigate movements of crested porcupines Hystrix cristala Linnaeus, 1758, in a Mediterranean coastal habitat in central Italy. Mean distance moved between successive captures was similar in males and females (p > 0.10). Distances moved by crested porcupines in the pinewood proved significantly greater than those in the grazing areas (p < 0.05). Radio-tracking data and night observations indicated that porcupines living in the grazing areas moved towards agricultural fields located at a distance of about 2 km. Conversely, no porcupines living in the pinewood were observed in the agricultural fields although they made longer movements, reaching foraging places at a distance of up to 4.4 km. Faecal analysis showed spatial differences in the summer diet, with crops being found almost exclusively in droppings collected in the grazing areas closer to agricultural fields. Managements implications of these results are discussed.
