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

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.In fenced protected areas where large carnivore populations persist or have been restored through reintroduction, population monitoring is essential to inform management. Robust density estimates are particularly important given the strong influence of large carnivores on ecosystem processes, yet such data remain scarce for arid systems where ...

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Assessing the accuracy of field‐based versus laboratory methods for determining the age of roe deer
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Accurate age determination in roe deer Capreolus capreolus is essential for selective harvesting and informed population management, yet field‐based methods widely used by hunters remain imprecise. This study compared field‐based and laboratory age determination methods in 204 harvested roe deer, categorized by sex and habitat type (forest versus open ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challenges for newly colonised regions. With the arrival of a new species, potential effects on local animal communities, hunting, livestock husbandry or the ...
