- Changes of wolf (Canis lupus) diet in Italy in relation to the increase of wild ungulate abundance (2011, background): “…population densities than other North European and North American situations; this leads to a greater flexibility in prey choice by wolves to satisfy food requirements of pack members in different seasons (OKARMA 1995; JEDRZEJEWSKI et al. 2002; PETERSON & CIUCCI 2003; MELIS et al. 2006, 2009).”
- Predation has a greater impact in less productive environments: variation in roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, population density across Europe (2009, background): “By comparison, population abundance of wild boar, Sus scrofa L., which do not occur as far north as roe deer (Mitchell-Jones et al., 1999), critically depends on winter temperatures (Melis et al., 2006).”
- Biogeographical variation in the diet of Holarctic martens (genus Martes, Mammalia: Carnivora: Mustelidae): adaptive foraging in generalists (2011, methodology): “…would afford a simple and generic index with which to model and extrapolate marten food supply (and thus provide a proxy for developing regional conservation policy: see McNaughton et al., 1989; Herfindal et al., 2005; Melis et al., 2006), this method proved here to be inappropriate for this genus.”
- Prey selection and dietary response by wolves in a high-density multi-species ungulate community (2011, background): “Melis et al. (2006) found that wild boar density on a continental scale was strongly affected by winter temperature, vegetation and, consequently, acorn productivity, with a 1,000-fold decrease in their north-eastern range when compared with their south-western Eurasian range.”
