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.

Minimal impact of spotted hyenas on livestock and endangered species in a prey‐rich ecosystem
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The diet of large carnivores is of great interest to conservation managers, as it can reveal the extent of human–carnivore conflict and the impact of carnivores on species of high conservation priority. Metabarcoding of environmental DNA can identify species and is often more reliable than observational or morphological methods, particularly when it ...

Domestic Sheep Optimization Algorithm
This paper proposes an optimization algorithm based on the behavior of domestic sheep flocks, the Domestic Sheep Optimization Algorithm (DSOA), and conducts systematic optimization design. This algorithm simulates the social behavior of domestic sheep in natural environments, including mechanisms such as information transfer, leader rotation ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Europe has seen the recovery of many species of wild herbivores, which are now widespread across much of the continent. In addition, large carnivores are also recolonising many European countries. Most ungulates are managed through hunting, but natural predation can also have a significant influence in many areas.
