Changes in the Trophic Structure of the Vertebrate Predator Community in the Cold Season in Belarussian Paazerje (Northern Belarus) with Emphasis on Depopulation of the Wild Boar, Sus scrofa (Artiodactyla, Suida)

Anthropogenic disturbances often alter patterns of community functioning. Along that, how interacting species respond to these changes remains poorly understood. In 1972-2019, we studied the trophic structure of the vertebrate predator community in coniferous-small-leaved forests of Belarussian Paaz...

Since 2013, large scale depopulation of wild boars Sus scrofa has been started in Belarus as a measure to reduce a circulation of the African swine fever (ASF).
