“…Many of the stories that were told during the study showed that Wild Boars are very greedy for many agricultural and non-agricultural crops, and thus cause losses to farmers who are mostly poor and cannot cope with the Wild Boar's risk to their property. There are a lot of global and regional studies showing the impact of Wild Boars on many agricultural crops, which may vary in nature depending on the countries in which they grow [20,21,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57].…”

The Wild Boar (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758) is now one of the most widely distributed and largest mammalian fauna in Palestine 27,000 km 2 . It is a highly adaptable ungulate that is able to occupy a variety of ecological habitats in Palestine including the Negev Desert. The Wild Boar poses a direct threat to the lives of Palestinians, their farms, domestic animals and their property in the West Bank, which covers an area of about 21% of the total area of Palestine. Wild Boars formed part of the political and military battle in Palestine through the release of huge numbers of these ferocious animals in the West Bank by some Israeli settlers to spread havoc and destruction and to drive the Palestinians away from their lands and properties. The current study aims to determine the potential agricultural, ecological and environmental, and health

“…Moreover, of the 6 studies that quantified the proportion of crop damaged and wild pig density, methods for estimating metrics of population density were variable. For example, Andrzejewski and Jezierski (1978) reported wild pig density estimates over multiple time points, while Ucarli (2011) estimated average wild pig density over a six-year study period. Bleier et al (2017) characterized the intensity of space use of wild pigs rather than density.…”

Damage assessments provide evidence for initiating and evaluating management programs that protect natural resources and human livelihoods against invasive species. Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) cause extensive damage in their native and non-native ranges, but the extent of current damage and efficacy of management of the damage (i.e., population control of wild pigs, exclusion fencing, etc.) remains poorly described. We conducted a systematic review of physical damage caused by wild pigs to summarize what is known and identify knowledge gaps for damage assessment. Wild pig damage assessments have been overwhelmingly qualitative (84% of studies) and measured differently across studies, which prevents the determination of typical damage amounts to a particular resource and comparison across studies. Key priorities going forward are to standardize damage assessments quantitatively and measure population density (or index of such) of wild pigs concurrently with damage assessments to determine the relationship between damage and population levels. We provide a framework for inferring damage in new areas and assessing the benefits of management – to evaluate and optimize landscape-scale management programs. Overall, we recommend future studies strive for: 1) report the amount of damages in a standardized fashion (e.g., area damaged/area surveyed), 2) evaluate and report the amount of damage relative to the density of wild pigs, and 3) when reporting economic costs of damages incurred and management actions, describe the economic valuation method used along with the year of reference for the valuation. Capturing these elements are necessary steps to predict the benefits of management for an area with particular profile of resources and wild pig density, even in areas where damage assessments are not available. Meeting these criteria with allow for more generalizable results that can inform managers across the nearly global distribution of wild pigs

“…These large, prolific mammals (Bieber and Ruf 2005) can cause property damage (Campbell and Long 2009;Saito et al 2011;Schley et al 2008) and provoke fear among human populations (Kotulski Handling editor: Laura Iacolina. and König 2008). Populations are found on most continents and have adapted to a wide variety of habitats (Baubet et al 2004;Cahill et al 2012;Cuevas et al 2010;Gabor et al 1999;McGaw and Mitcell 1998;Siemann et al 2009;Thomson and Challies 1988;Yasin 2011). Conflict has resulted from the spatiotemporal activity of S. scrofa populations overlapping with that of humans (Cahill et al 2012).…”

Genetic adaptation to urban living: molecular DNA analyses of wild boar populations in Budapest and surrounding area

et al. 2022

Studies of wild boar, Sus scrofa Linnaeus 1758, in urban and suburban areas of Budapest, Hungary, have indicated that these populations do not have continuous contact. Based on the assumption that the city has a discrete population, we hypothesized that the urban wild boar would differ genetically from those in suburban areas. Analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data using the GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (GGP) Porcine 50 K system (Neogen, Scotland, UK) differentiated three populations: Buda (B) from the Western bank of the Danube; Buda Surrounding (BS); and Valkó (V) from the Eastern bank of the Danube. The coefficient of genetic differentiation (FST) for the B and BS populations was low. The inbreeding coefficients of the populations BS and V were close to zero, while population B had a high positive value reflecting the influence of founders and the inbreeding of the continuous urban population. The genome regions that were most differentiated between the B and BS populations were analyzed based on the FST values of the SNP markers using a mixed linear multi-locus model and BayeScan software. The most differentiated marker, WU_10.2_18_56278226, was found on chromosome 18. The surrounding region contained several candidate genes that could play important roles in adaptations related to human-induced stress. Two of these, encoding the adenylate cyclase 1 (ADCY1) and inhibin beta A chain precursor (INHBA) genes, were sequenced. While IHBA gene did not display variation, the allele distribution of the ADCY1 gene in the B population was significantly different from that of the BS population supporting the parapatric differentiation of wild boar.
