How does hunting influence activity and spatial usage in wild boar Sus scrofa L.? (2008, background): “purposes (see also Sodeikat and Pohlmeyer 2004) apparently do not increase wild boar movements. According to literature data, battues with high beating pressure and many dogs partly caused temporary shift or increase of home ranges (Maillard and Fournier 1995; Sodeikat and Pohlmeyer 2002, 2003, 2007”

Effects of hunting on wild boar Sus scrofa behaviour (2013, background): “Drive and pheasant hunts flushedwild boar out of their daily rest (see also Sodeikat & Pohlmeyer 2003, Keuling et al. 2008b, Scillitani et al. 2010).”
Challenges and science-based implications for modern management and conservation of European ungulate populations (2017, background): “In the case of wild boar, repeated hunting disturbance may affect social structure, leading to an increase in fission-fusion dynamics in the population, potentially facilitating the spread of diseases (Iacolina et al. 2009; Scillitani et al. 2010; Saïd et al. 2012).”
