Wild boar ecology: a review of wild boar ecological and demographic parameters by bioregion all over Europe

The definition of the most relevant parameters that describe wild boar (WB) population dynamics is essential to guide African swine fever (ASF) control policies. These should be framed considering different contexts, such as geographic, ecological and management gaps data useful for parameter identified. This information would allow better harmonized monitoring WB populations higher impact ASF actions, well parametrizing epidemiological models, which key develop more efficient cost-benefit strategies. report presents a comprehensive compilation description dynamics, including general drivers, demography, mortality, reproduction, spatial behaviour. Beyond collection current available data, we provided an open model academics wildlife professionals continuously update new otherwise hardly accessible e.g. those from grey literature often not publicly or only in local languages. model, conceived resource collaborative approach, will incorporated European Observatory Wildlife (EOW) platform, include all drivers specified studies on boar, general, ecology epidemiology at suitable spatio-temporal resolution. approach extended other taxa future tool improve capacities monitor, produce risk assessment manage under international perspective.
