Puberty in female wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Sweden
BACKGROUND Since the re-appearance of wild boars in Sweden in the 1970s, the population has increased. Besides having large litter sizes, puberty at an early age is considered as an important factor contributing to the high reproductive potential of wild boar. Although controversial, supplemental feeding is applied to varying extent throughout the wild boar range in Sweden, and its effect on wi...
متن کاملThe feasibility of reintroducing Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) to Scotland
The feasibility of reintroducing Wild Boar Sus scrofa to Scotland was investigated using the predictions of a Geographical information System (GIS) and a Population Viability Analysis (PVA). In the first stage of this study we summarized information from published literature on the biology, habitat requirements, home range use and population densities of Wild Boar, and using a GIS we identified...
متن کاملStructural Classification of Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) Vocalizations
Determining whether a species' vocal communication system is graded or discrete requires definition of its vocal repertoire. In this context, research on domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) vocalizations, for example, has led to significant advances in our understanding of communicative functions. Despite their close relation to domestic pigs, little is known about wild boar (Sus scrofa) vocal...
متن کاملChromosome number polymorphism in a litter of European wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa L.)
Populations of wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa L.) of Central Europe frequently demonstrate polymorphism in chromosome number. This phenomenon is caused by chromosome rearrangements of the centric fusion type. The presence of Robertsonian translocations in the wild boar population may lead to one of three different karyotypes: 2n=36, 2n=37 and 2n=38. The aim of the study was to analyse the karyoty...
متن کاملOccurrence of Ochratoxin A in the Wild Boar (Sus scrofa): Chemical and Histological Analysis
Ochratoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that may contaminate a broad variety of foodstuffs, such as grains, vegetables, coffee, dried fruits, beer, wine and meats. Ochratoxins are nephrotoxins, carcinogens, teratogens and immunotoxins in rats and are also likely to be in humans. In 2009/2010, a survey of the presence of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in regularly hunted wild boars in the Calabria regi...
