摘要: Abstract Wolves (Canis lupus) belong to 3 genetically distinct subpopulations despite the absence of topographic barriers limiting dispersal. Based on data wolf diets from 13 localities and kill remains a national-scale census, we investigated regional variation in diet relation species structure ungulate communities spatial genetic differentiation populations. We also tested if various sources prey (scats kills) availability ungulates (game inventory harvest) yielded comparable results selection. The main wolves was red deer (Cervus elaphus), roe (Capreolus capreolus), wild boar (Sus scrofa). proportion increased with community, yet selected deer, preyed proportionally their relative abundance, avoided boar. Large recorded among kills more often than small prey. Despite similar commu...
