Building biological realism into wolf management policy: the development of the population approach in Europe (2012, background): “Individual pack territories typically range from 100 to 1000 km2, depending on your location in Europe (Jedrzejewski et al., 2007; Nilsen et al., 2005) which results in densities in the range of 0.2 to 2 wolves per 100 km2.”
Predation has a greater impact in less productive environments: variation in roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, population density across Europe (2009, background): “…et al., 2002) implying that predation rate can be high at low prey density, despite the fact that territory sizes of lynx and wolves decline with growing prey density and productivity (Herfindal et al., 2005; Nilsen et al., 2005; Jędrzejewski et al., 2007; but see Molinari-Jobin et al., 2007).”
Landscape of fear in Europe: wolves affect spatial patterns of ungulate browsing in Bialowieza Primeval Forest, Poland (2013, methodology): “Location of the core area of this wolf pack (containing 3–8 wolves) was based on Jędrzejewski et al. (2007).”
Habitat suitability, corridors and dispersal barriers for large carnivores in Poland (2010, methodology): “The value was constrained by the options of the program but was closest to the 201 km(2) average territory size of wolves in Bia3owie¿a Forest, eastern Poland (Jêdrzejewski et al. 2007).”
