TL;DR: It is concluded that recreational hunting is insufficient to limit wild boar population growth and that the relative impact of hunting onWild boar mortality had decreased, and more human-wild boar conflicts are expected unless this trend is reversed.

TL;DR: This paper summarises studies of the environmental impact of wild boar and indicates thatWild boar can greatly affect species abundance, species richness, soil chemestry and food webs.

TL;DR: The diet of the wild boar Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758 in a Mediterranean area, where agricultural crops were not available and supplementary food was not provided, is described.

TL;DR: The difference in home-range size and amount of activity found between the first and the second year of study were probably influenced by differences in population density, although the individual effects of food availability and population density were not clearly separable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed methods employed to mitigate the impact of feral hogs on human activities and discussed these methods in terms of effectiveness, feasibility, costs, and social acceptance, and proposed a framework of criteria to guide decisions regarding the suitability of different options to manage human-feral hog confl icts in different contexts.
