ABSTRACT 1 Research on mating systems and reproductive strategies is valuable for
providing ethological knowledge, important for the management and conservation of a …

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are widespread across many landscapes throughout the world and
are considered to be an invasive pest to agriculture and the environment, or conversely a …

Environmental sources of infection can play a primary role in shaping epidemiological
dynamics; however, the relative impact of environmental transmission on host‐pathogen …

The spatial behaviour of hosts can seriously affect the transmission of pathogens and spatial
spread of diseases. Understanding the relationship between host movements and disease …

Despite the vast literature on genetic variation in the domestic pig Sus scrofa, little is known
about genetic differentiation in wild boar populations. Here we present an up-to-date review …

Individuals can increase inclusive fitness benefits through a complex network of social
interactions directed towards kin. Preferential relationships with relatives lead to the …

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are the most widely distributed invasive wild ungulate in the United
States, yet the factors that influence wild pig dispersal and colonization at the regional level …

Leptospirosis is a re-emerging and globally spread zoonosis caused by pathogenic
genomospecies of Leptospira. Wild boar (Sus scrofa) are an important Leptospira host and …

Social preferences in pigs have received little attention despite the welfare implication of
providing an adequate social environment for farm animals. We investigated the extent to …

Spatial variation of the 'predation risk'due to human activities or distribution may increase the
sexual difference in habitat selection. Indeed, females with offspring are usually more risk …
