Large carnivores in Italy and other European countries are protected by law to ensure their long-term conservation. Estimates of abundance and demographic trends of their populations are crucial for implementing effective conservation and management strategies. However, it is challenging to obtain basic demographic parameters for elusive species such as the wolf (Canis lupus). Monitoring wolf populations by standard field methods or non-invasive genetic approaches requires huge human efforts…

High levels of recent wolf × dog introgressive hybridization in agricultural landscapes of central Italy
TLDR
A high level of admixture raises serious wolf conservation concerns and exemplifies the expected dynamics of wolf–dog hybridization if left unmanaged in human-dominated landscapes.

Lethal management may hinder population recovery in Iberian wolves
In previous centuries, wolves were extirpated across much of their range worldwide, but they started to recover in Europe since the end of last century. A general pattern of this recovery is the…
Recent Changes in Wolf Habitat Occupancy and Feeding Habits in Italy: Implications for Conservation and Reducing Conflict with Humans
Despite the generally positive trend of European populations, the wolf (Canis lupus) is still today a challenging species to conserve, particularly in the most anthropogenic southern European…
Wolf population genetics in Europe: a systematic review, meta‐analysis and suggestions for conservation and management
TLDR
The most pressing issues threatening wolf populations in Europe are discussed, important gaps in current knowledge are highlighted, solutions to overcome these limitations are suggested, and recommendations for science‐based wolf conservation and management at regional and Europe‐wide scales are provided.
Taeniid cestodes in a wolf pack living in a highly anthropic hilly agro-ecosystem
TLDR
The combination of low biodiversity of taeniid species with a high occurrence of E. granulosus s.s. recorded in this study could be the consequence of a deeper link occurring between wolves and livestock in human-modified landscapes than in wild settings.

Balancing costs and confidence: volunteer-provided point observations, GPS telemetry and the genetic monitoring of Finland’s wolves
Reliable and updated population estimates are a necessity for the successful conservation and management of endangered animal populations. Citizen science has become increasingly important in…
What does the wild boar mean to the wolf?
TLDR
The wild boar is a gregarious, noisy and often locally abundant ungulate, thus easily detectable, to a predator, and the extent of predation on this ungulates may not be influenced so much by the availability of other potential prey.

Genetics and conservation of wolves Canis lupus in Europe
TLDR
The wolf Canis lupus, the most widespread of the four species of large carnivores in Europe, after centuries of population decline and eradication, is now recovering in many countries, and population structure and dynamics are efficiently monitored by non-invasive genetic methods.
Wolf research and conservation in Italy
Mortality parameters of the wolf in Italy: does the wolf keep himself from the door?
TLDR
The data and other published data on food habits and genetic features of the wolf in central-eastern Italy suggest that, despite ongoing heavy human-induced losses, this predator has fully recovered in the last 30 years from the brink of extinction.
An improved procedure to estimate wolf abundance using non-invasive genetic sampling and capture–recapture mixture models
TLDR
This procedure, combining large-scale NGS and multievent IDH demographic models, provides the first estimates of abundance, multi-annual trend and survival rates for an open large wolf population in the Apennines.
Recovery of large carnivores in Europe’s modern human-dominated landscapes
TLDR
It is shown that roughly one-third of mainland Europe hosts at least one large carnivore species, with stable or increasing abundance in most cases in 21st-century records, and coexistence alongside humans has become possible, argue the authors.
Predicting the Spatial Distribution of Wolf (Canis lupus) Breeding Areas in a Mountainous Region of Central Italy
TLDR
This work uses 17 years of monitoring data collected in a mountainous region of central Italy in an ecological niche-based model to characterize breeding sites within home ranges, finding that elevation and distance to protected areas were most important in explaining the locality of wolf responses.
From the Apennines to the Alps: colonization genetics of the naturally expanding Italian wolf (Canis lupus) population
TLDR
The Alps were colonized by a few long‐range migrating wolves originating in the north Apennine subpopulation, and during the colonization process there has been a moderate bottleneck, and gene flow between sources and colonies was moderate, despite high potential for dispersal.
Noninvasive sampling and genetic variability, pack structure, and dynamics in an expanding wolf population
TLDR
The results can be used to model habitat use by wolves, to estimate survival rates, to predict future expansion of the wolf population, and to build risk maps of wolf–human conflicts.
