DNA Reveals Diet and Prey of Wolves and Lynx
From Bioengineer.org:
In a groundbreaking study published in Front Zool, researchers undertook a molecular analysis of scats to illuminate the diet and prey preferences of grey wolves and Eurasian lynxes inhabiting the transition zone between the Dinaric Mountains and the Alps. This crucial investigation not only sheds light on the feeding behavior of these apex predators but also offers valuable insights into the broader ecological dynamics of the region, which includes their impact on local prey populations.
