DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

The perturbation effect in wildlife systems: an emergent property of simple models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Population reduction is often used as a control strategy when managing infectious diseases in wildlife populations, however it disrupts existing social structures and increases movement of infectives due to the vacuum effect, which may lead to enhanced ...

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Improving manual tagging of camera trap videos for wildlife studies: a visual assistance tool applied to the endangered huillin Lontra provocax

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the last decades, the use of camera traps for wildlife studies has increased significantly due to advancements in technology leading to cost reduction and improved reliability. They facilitate the study of wild animals in their natural environment in a minimally invasive manner, eliminating the need for researchers to remain in the field for long ...

How to stay wild in a highly domesticated landscape? Spatiotemporal behaviour of wolves in Germany

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raised the opportunity to study wolf behaviour in one of the most densely populated and fragmented countries in Europe, in an area where topography offers no ...

Relationship between carcass weight, skatole level and sensory assessment in fat of different boars

open access: yesCzech Journal of Food Sciences, 2010
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the carcass weight and the level of skatole in boar back fat samples with descriptive sensory profiles (trained sensory panel) immediately after heating the fat samples (warm).
