Patterns of wolfCanis lupus predation on wild and domestic ungulates in the Western Carpathian Mountains (S Poland) (2005, background): “This foraging pattern of wolves in the Beskidy Mountains well corresponds to a model of functional response of wolves to changes in red deer abundance (Jêdrzejewska and Jêdrzejewski 1998, Jêdrzejewski et al. 2000).”
Prey selection and dietary response by wolves in a high-density multi-species ungulate community (2011, background): “Although averageweight of roe deer adults correspond to the estimated mean prey weight for the wolf pack, this prey class was significantly avoided by the wolves, suggesting that roe deer adults are a difficult prey item for this particular predator (Jędrzejewski et al. 2000; Mattioli et al. 2004).”
Diet and prey selection of wolves ( Canis lupus ) recolonising Western and Central Poland (2011, unknown): “In the Białowieża Primeval Forest, where structure of wild ungulates was obtained both from game inventories and driving census, wolves hunted wild boar less than expected from their abundance and showed an increasing avoidance of wild boar with growing density of red deer (Jędrzejewski et al. 2000)”
KILL RATES AND PREDATION BY WOLVES ON UNGULATE POPULATIONS IN BIAŁOWIEŻA PRIMEVAL FOREST (POLAND) (2002, background): “…of Eurasian wolves have not yet been studied directly, but data on wolf prey selection and diet composition suggest that densities of red deer (Cervus elaphus), wolves’ preferred prey, may be governing kill rates on both deer and other co-occurring species of ungulates (Jędrzejewski et al. 2000).”
