Observations of golden eagles attacking and consuming wolf pups
Although lethal interactions between wolves and other apex carnivores have been reported for a handful of species, the killing or consumption of...

Molecular analysis of scats revealed diet and prey choice of grey wolves and Eurasian lynx in the contact zone between the Dinaric Mountains and the Alps
A comprehensive understanding of the dietary habits of carnivores is essential to get ecological insights into their role in the ecosystem, potential...

Effectiveness of attractants and bait for Iberian wolf detection: captivity-based and free-ranging trials
Monitoring large carnivores requires substantial effort, which is why indirect methodologies such as camera trap** with attractants or baits are...

Behavior automatic analysis for wolf pack hunting: making fast behavior analysis of massive data possible
AbstractAutomatic wolf pack hunting behavior analysis contributes to the identification of behavioral mechanism and the development of bio-swarm...

On the reappearance of the Indian grey wolf in Bangladesh after 70 years: what do we know?
The Indian grey wolf, Canis lupus pallipes Sykes, 1831, is a small, cryptic subspecies and the only wolf living in arid plains and deserts of the...

A first exploratory comparison of the behaviour of wolves (Canis lupus) and wolf-dog hybrids in captivity
Extensive introgression of genes from domesticated taxa may be a serious threat for the genomic integrity and adaptability of wild populations. Grey...

Declining freshwater habitats in Greenland may shift diets of the ubiquitous wolf spider Pardosa glacialis
Freshwater habitats in Arctic landscapes provide essential food resources to predaceous terrestrial fauna. However, climate change threatens the...

Genetic diversity and population structure of the grey wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) and evidence of wolf × dog hybridisation in the centre of European Russia
Throughout history the human–wolf interaction has not evolved in favour of the wolf, however, wolves have never been endangered in Russia. The wolf ( C...

Grey wolves (Canis lupus) discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar human voices
The ability to discriminate between different individuals based on identity cues, which is important to support the social behaviour of many animal...

Assessment of the residential Finnish wolf population combines DNA captures, citizen observations and mortality data using a Bayesian state-space model
Assessment of the Finnish wolf population relies on multiple sources of information. This paper describes how Bayesian inference is used to pool the...

Human highly modified landscapes restrict gene flow of the largest neotropical canid, the maned wolf
Human-modified landscapes have been threatening mammal populations worldwide. However, little is known about the genetic consequences of these...

The isosmotic point as critical salinity limit for growth and osmoregulation, but not survival, in the wolf eel Anarrhichthys ocellatus
Members of wolf fish family Anarhichadidae have emerged as potential cold-water marine aquaculture species. This study examined growth performance...

The role of the Caucasus, Carpathian, and Dinaric–Balkan regions in preserving wolf genetic diversity
Mountain regions have long been important for maintaining populations and genetic diversity of wild species, especially those species that require...

Multiple reproductive events in female wolf spiders Pardosa hyperborea and Pardosa furcifera in the Low-Arctic: one clutch can hide another
Changing abiotic conditions can affect the phenology of animals and plants with implications for their reproductive output, especially in rapidly...

Genetic signature of immigrants and their effect on genetic diversity in the recently established Scandinavian wolf population
Transboundary connectivity is a key component when conserving and managing animal species that require large areas to maintain viable population...

Population genetics of the African wolf (Canis lupaster) across its range: first evidence of hybridization with domestic dogs in Africa
Despite the known genetic permeability among wolf-like canids, there is currently no evidence of gene flow between the recently acknowledged African...
