Patterns of crop damage by wild boar (Sus scrofa)in Luxembourg over a 10-year period (2008, background): “In addition, when rooting and digging for invertebrate prey and underground plant parts, wild boar make holes of up to 60 cm in depth and, in the process, cause substantial damage to grassland (Anonymous 1988; Schley and Roper 2003).”
Factors affecting wild boar abundance across an environmental gradient in Spain (2006, background): “There have been sev eral stud ies on hab i tat in flu ences on wild boar bi ol ogy (Caley 1993, Boitani et al. 1995a, Welander 2000, Cahill et al. 2003, Schley and Roper 2003, Sodeikat and Pohlmeyer 2003, Fernández-Llario 2004).”
Diet of wild boar Sus scrofa L. and crop damage in an intensive agroecosystem (2006, background): “All of the items found in the diet were reported in other studies (see Schley and Roper 2003 for a review of wild boar diet in Western Europe), including reed (Dardaillon 1987; Venero 1984), invertebrates (Scott and Pelton 1975), snails (Howe et al. 1981), crabs (Henry and Conley 1972; Venero 1984;…”
The environmental impact of wild boar (2004, background): “In Europe crops damaged by wild boar include wheat, maize, rice, grapes, barley, oats, rye, and potatoes (reviewed by Genov 1981a and Schley and Roper 2003).”
Spatiotemporal behavioral plasticity of wild boar (Sus scrofa) under contrasting conditions of human pressure: primeval forest and metropolitan area (2013, background): “Wild boar is a generalist omnivore with opportunistic feeding habits, and its diet reflects local environmental conditions (Herrero et al. 2006; Schley and Roper 2003).”
Food habits of wild boars (Sus Scrofa) in a mediterranean coastal wetland (2008, background): “Typically, a consistent but limited amount of animal matter is consumed (Schley and Roper 2003).”
Responding to spatial and temporal variations in predation risk: space use of a game species in a changing landscape of fear (2009, background): “Forests also provide abundant food (Schley and Roper 2003; Bieber and Ruf 2005) and shelter (Boitani et al.”
Biogeographical variation in the population density of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in western Eurasia (2006, background): “Wild boar, however, are omnivores relying on plant roots, fallen seeds and mast, soil invertebrates and carrion (Kozlo, 1975; Schley & Roper, 2003), thus factors other than plant biomass may influence their abundance.”
