Hunting as anthropogenic sink of biomass or source of carrion? A brief case study based on German hunting bags

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dead biomass is a crucial nutrient source for ecosystems. Although hunting residues can subsidize numerous scavenging organisms and are known to drive important zoogeochemical processes at very different scales in the ecosystem, this has received little attention.

Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) Stand Their Ground: Investigating Flight Response, or Lack Thereof, to Perceived Predation Risk 野猪坚守原地:探究其面对感知捕食风险时的逃逸反应 (或无逃逸行为)

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used automated behavioral response systems (ABRs) to assess invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) behavioral response to four auditory playbacks: humans, coyote vocalizations (Canis latrans), pigs in distress, and barred owl (Strix varia) calls. Wild pigs had a significant flight response to human playbacks, but 68% of pigs did not flee.
