TL;DR: Seasonal, interannual and regional differences in the diet, together with its striking overall breadth, indicate that wild boar are opportunistic omnivores whose diet, in any particular instance, is largely determined by the relative availability of different food types.

TL;DR: It is shown that Bayesian clustering methods can overestimate genetic structure when analysing an individual-based data set characterized by isolation by distance, which could lead to the erroneous delimitation of management or conservation units.

TL;DR: Analysis of data relating to wild boar damage to agricultural crops in Luxembourg suggests that measures for preventing or reducing damage should be more targeted in time and space and that adjustments to cropping patterns should contribute towards a reduction of wild Boar damage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multilocus genotyping to detect illegal translocation of an animal by excluding all potential source populations as an individual's population of origin, which can be applied to a large continuous population by defining the population genetic structure and excluding suspect animals from each identified cluster.

TL;DR: Size is a basic attribute of any population but it is often difficult to estimate, especially if the species under investigation is rare or cryptic, and there is currently no cheap and robust way of estimating the abundance of the European badger Meles meles.
