“…Binnen de Centraal-Europese wolvenpopulatie is er door onderzoek een goed beeld van de ontwikkeling van de populatie in aantal en verspreiding (zie o.a. : Jarausch et al, 2021;Nowak & Myslajek, 2017;par. 5.1 en 4.2.1).…”

“…Alle leden van de roedel dragen bij aan de opvoeding en veiligheid van de welpen, vandaar dat een grote roedel van belang is voor de veiligheid en voedselvoorziening van jongen. Hoewel wolven inteelt voorkomen, gebeurt het wel, met name als er geen andere paringspartners beschikbaar zijn (Jarausch et al, 2021). Dochters nemen vaak de leidersrol van hun moeder over .…”

“…Deze populatie wordt aangeduid als de Centraal-Europese populatie en kan genetisch inmiddels duidelijk worden onderscheiden van de Baltische populatie en de populatie in de Karpaten (Szewczyk et al, 2021). Inmiddels breidt de Centraal-Europese populatie zich steeds verder uit naar het westen en zijn na Duitsland ook Denemarken, Nederland en België bereikt (Jarausch et al 2021; zie ook Figuur 4.2.2). In paragraaf 5.2 wordt nader ingegaan op de exacte historie van de wolven in Centraal-Europa en in Frankrijk, inclusief geruchten over illegale uitzet.…”

“…Dit culmineerde in 2020 in ongeveer 130 roedels in Duitsland en in 150 roedels in W-Polen. De geschiedenis van deze populatie is dankzij intensieve genetische monitoring door het CEwolf-consortium uitstekend gekend, hetgeen ook toelaat om immigratie vanuit andere populaties (inclusief eventuele illegale bijplaatsingen) te detecteren (Szewczyck et al, 2019(Szewczyck et al, , 2020Jarausch et al, 2021). Daaruit blijkt dat huidige immigratie vanuit de naburige populaties (Balticum, Karpaten) zeer beperkt is en dat er ook nog geen genetische vermenging is waargenomen met de alpiene populatie.…”

“…In addition, wolves have also been reported in unsuitable and suboptimal habitats [ 4 , 6 ]. The newly formed Central European wolf population is now rapidly expanding westward from its core areas in western Poland and eastern Germany [ 7 ], recently reaching Denmark [ 8 ], western Germany [ 9 ], and Benelux [ 10 , 11 ]. The Carpathian wolf population is also expanding [ 12 ].…”

Human Decision-Making as a Key Factor in the Risk of Wolf–Dog Interactions during Outdoor Activities

As a result of species protection in Poland, wolves now appear in places that are attractive for human recreation, increasing their exposure to dogs. This creates a risk of spontaneous direct interactions between these two canine species. Aggressive interactions between the gray wolf and the domestic dog lead to human–large predator conflicts. This study examined wolf–dog interactions using data collected in an online questionnaire and included questions related to factors that might influence the likelihood of interactions between these canines. One of the most important factors affecting the likelihood of interaction between a dog and a wolf was the distance between the dog and the human. The number of wolves was also important—the more wolves, the more likely they were to interact with dogs. The risk of interaction also significantly increases with decreasing distance to human settlements. There were also statistical differences in terms of the type of outdoor activity being engaged in. Hunting was seven times more likely to result in a wolf–dog interaction than normal walk. We postulate that the choices made by the human (dog control and type of recreation) caring for the dog are an important factor that can reduce the risk of direct contact between dogs and wolves.

Recolonization of predators to their former ranges is becoming increasingly prevalent. Such recolonization places predators among their prey once again; the latter having lived without predation (from such predators) for a considerable time. This renewed coexistence creates opportunities to explore predation ecology at both fundamental and applied levels. We used a paired experimental design to investigate white‐tailed deer risk allocation in the Upper and Lower Peninsulas (UP and LP) in Michigan, USA. Wolves are functionally absent in the LP, while deer in the UP coexist with a re‐established wolf population. We treated 15 sites each in UP and LP with wolf olfactory cues and observed deer vigilance, activity, and visitation rates at the interface of habitat covariates using remote cameras. Such a paired design across wolf versus no‐wolf areas allowed us to examine indirect predation effects while accounting for confounding parameters such as the presence of other predators and human activity. While wolf urine had no effect across most metrics in both UP and LP, we observed differences in deer activity in areas with versus without wolves. Sites treated with wolf urine in the UP showed a reduction in crepuscular deer activity, compared to control/novel‐scent treated sites. Furthermore, we observed a strong positive effect of vegetation cover on deer vigilance in these sites. This indicates that simulated predator cues likely affect deer vigilance more acutely in denser habitats, which presumably facilitates predation success. Such responses were however absent among deer in the LP that are presumably naïve toward wolf predation. Where human and non‐human predators hunt shared prey, such as in Michigan, predators may constrain human hunting success by increasing deer vigilance. Hunters may avoid such exploitative competition by choosing hunting/bait sites located in open areas. Our results pertaining to fundamental predation ecology have strong applied implications that can promote human–predator coexistence.
