The dog as a model for understanding human social behavior (2009, background): “For example, wolves show complex social behavior involving cooperation in hunting and parental care, expressive means of communication, and context‐dependent dominance relationships (Mech and Boitani, 2003).”
Hair identification key of wild and domestic ungulates from southern Europe (2006, background): “Predation on livestock is the crucial socio-economic factor promoting wolf persecution (cf. Ciucci & Boitani 1998b, Boitani 2003).”
Goat grazing, its interactions with other herbivores and biodiversity conservation issues (2012, background): “Domestic animals can also be an important target for wolves, a carnivore which is increasing in numbers in both Europe and North America and is beginning to reoccupy semi-wilderness and agricultural lands (Boitani, 2003).”
Spatial decomposition of predation risk using resource selection functions: an example in a wolf /elk predator /prey system (2005, methodology): “Moreover, pack-size kill-rate relationships (Mech and Boitani 2003) or mechanistic models of predator functional responses (Messier 1994) could be used to rescale the relative encounter probability a(x) to a true probability in combination with prey density data.”
