“…At both of the sites, the wild grapevines grew in proximity to fig trees (Ficus carica), plane trees (Platanus orientalis), and holy raspberries (Rubus sanguineus), a plant community typical to water-rich habitats along the Mediterranean basin. Interestingly, the observed Sylvestris female plants tended to grow between the spiny holy raspberry plants, which, apparently, provide protection during flowering against herbivores that are abundant in these regions, including wild boar (Sus scrofa) [32] and mountain gazelle (Gazella gazella) [33], which commonly feed on grapevine shoots and leaves in cultivated vineyards. Spiny vegetation has been suggested to have played a vital role in protecting wild vines from both wild and domestic animals [34,35].…”

The wild grapevine, Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris, grows naturally throughout the northern hemisphere, including the Mediterranean region. Wild grapevines have also been observed sporadically across the southern Levant and are considered a non-native feral plant. Nevertheless, no formal characterization has been conducted for wild grapevines in this region; thus, its taxonomical assignment remains elusive. Previously, we have shown that the wild grapevine populations growing in northern Israel are genetically separated from the feral domesticated forms. This work aimed to comprehensively describe the morphological, anatomical, and ecological traits of wild grapevines naturally thriving in two distinct habitats in Israel. The dioicous nature of the wild grapevine, the flower and pollen morphology, and the characteristic Sylvestris fruit and seed morphology, in addition to the occurrence of the natural germination of seeds in close vicinity of the mother plant, have all led to the conclusion that these plants belong to Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris and should be included in the Flora Palaestina. These findings, combined with the recently published genetic evidence for these populations, significantly advance our understanding of the species’ ecology and the importance of its preservation.

“…Previous studies have typically classified human-wildlife conflicts into four categories. The first category involves damage to crops, with much large herbivorous wildlife feeding on crops, causing significant losses (Mauri et al ., 2020). The second category pertains to harm inflicted on livestock, with some carnivorous wildlife preying on poultry and livestock.…”

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the satisfaction of farmers with the compensation policy for wildlife-caused damages and its influencing factors, analyze the current situation of satisfaction with the compensation policy among farmers, identify factors significantly affecting satisfaction, and explore ways to optimize the compensation policy and improve the satisfaction of farmers based on the effects of various influencing factors.Design/methodology/approachThe Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Yunnan Province, China, is selected as the research area for the study. Through field interviews, 370 valid questionnaires were collected to obtain relevant data on farmers' satisfaction with the compensation policy for wildlife-caused damages. The Oprobit model is utilized to explore the factors influencing farmer satisfaction and to analyze their underlying reasons.FindingsThe study reveals that farmers in the communities surrounding the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve generally experience low satisfaction with the compensation policy, particularly concerning satisfaction with compensation amounts, which tends to be dissatisfied on average. Satisfaction with the compensation policy is significantly influenced by individual characteristics and household labor structure, while the degree of human-wildlife conflict, wildlife conservation attitudes and household income structure have insignificant impact. Among individual characteristics, gender, education level, health status, and ethnicity are highly significant. In household labor structure, the number of agricultural laborers, non-agricultural laborers, and household agricultural labor time are highly significant.Originality/valueBuilding on the overall satisfaction of farmers with the compensation policy, this study further decomposes policy satisfaction into satisfaction with compensation amounts, coverage, and procedures. It provides more targeted recommendations for enhancing satisfaction with the compensation policy, which can help effectively mitigate human-wildlife conflicts and achieve harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

“…The relevant data can be a valuable and up-to-date source of information about human activities and interactions with the natural environment in various spatial and temporal scales [16]. A review of the literature indicates that crowdsourced social media data have been used to map cultural ecosystem services [18], evaluate visitors' preferences regarding biological diversity [19], monitor biological diversity [11], monitor visitors in nature conservation areas, monitor social responses to environmental protection events [20,21], explore global trends in wildlife trade [22], and monitor of animal movements [14,23]. These models lead to an assessment of relevant quantities, such as the probability of animals entering/escaping from an urban area, in addition to typical traffic patterns, which in turn lead to an estimate of the risk of human-wildlife interactions [24][25][26][27].…”

The encroachment of wild boars into urban areas is a growing problem. The occurrence of wild boars in cities leads to conflict situations. Socio-spatial conflicts can escalate to a varied degree. Assessments of these conflicts can be performed by analyzing spatial data concerning the affected locations and wild boar behaviors. The collection of spatial data is a laborious and costly process that requires access to urban surveillance systems, in addition to regular analyses of intervention reports. A supporting method for assessing the risk of wild boar encroachment and socio-spatial conflict in cities was proposed in the present study. The developed approach relies on big data, namely, multimedia and descriptive data that are on social media. The proposed method was tested in the city of Olsztyn in Poland. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of data crowdsourced from a popular social networking site for determining the location and severity of conflicts. A photointerpretation method and the kernel density estimation (KDE) tool implemented in ArcGIS Desktop 10.7.1 software were applied in the study. The proposed approach fills a gap in the application of crowdsourcing data to identify types of socio-spatial conflicts involving wild boars in urban areas. Validation of the results with reports of calls to intervention services showed the high coverage of this approach and thus the usefulness of crowdsourcing data.
