Squeezed between bottom up and top down control: Wild boar population dynamics respond to wildlife management and beech nut mast years in a mountainous forest ecosystem

2026-02-05

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the drivers of wild boar (Sus scrofa) population dynamics is essential for effective management in European landscapes where increasing densities drive human–wildlife conflict. We analysed 13 years (2010–2023) of long-term harvest, environmental, and resource-availability data from the Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany, to quantify the relative roles of hunting quota, beech mast production, wint...
