• Changes of wolf (Canis lupus) diet in Italy in relation to the increase of wild ungulate abundance (2011, unknown): “88.8 7.4 0.17 MATTIOLI et al. 2004 (c) ?”
• Prey selection and dietary response by wolves in a high-density multi-species ungulate community (2011, methodology): “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).”
• Prey and Prey-Age Preference by the Iberian Wolf Canis Lupus Signatus in a Multiple-Prey Ecosystem (2009, background): “Also, in other regions ofEurope, the preferred prey of the wolf is roe deer (Meriggi & Lovari 1996, Mattioli et al. 2004, Valdmann et al. 2005,Ansorge et al. 2006).”
• Anti-predator behaviour, space use and habitat selection in female roe deer during the fawning season in a wolf area (2008, background): “The use of roe deer increased especially in summer, when fawns were highly selected by wolves (Mattioli et al., 2004).”
• Prey choice and diet of wolves related to ungulate communities and wolf subpopulations in Poland (2012, background): “Conversely, in southern Europe where large cervids are absent or rare, wolves often rely on wild boar and prefer it to the more numerous roe deer (Mattioli et al. 2004).”
• Predation has a greater impact in less productive environments: variation in roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, population density across Europe (2009, background): “Large carnivores, mainly Eurasian lynx and wolf, regularly prey on roe deer in many parts of Europe (Filonov, 1989; Jędrzejewski et al., 1993, 2002; Okarma, 1995; Jobin et al., 2000; Mattioli et al., 2004; Odden et al., 2006).”
