TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art of issues on wolf x dog hybridization within the scientific community, assess the conceptual bases for different viewpoints, and provide a conceptual framework aiming at reducing the disagreements.
Estimation of pack density in grey wolf ( Canis lupus ) by applying spatially explicit capture-recapture models to camera trap data supported by genetic monitoring
TL;DR: This paper applies for the first time a camera-based SCR approach in wolves, providing the first robust estimate of wolf pack density for an area of Italy, and shows that this method is applicable to wolves under the following conditions.
Trophic overlap between wolves and free-ranging wolf × dog hybrids in the Apennine Mountains, Italy
TL;DR: The findings confirmed wolf–dog hybrids as potential competitors for wolves, and further studies on other aspects of their biology and ecology are recommended in order to better estimate the impact of hybridization on natural wolf populations.

TL;DR: The results confirm the effect of resource availability and climate on wild boar reproductive phenology, and suggest socially-driven reproductive patterns, in spite of a high turn-over in social groups due to hunting.
