Description

The dataset contains a description of wolf scat content used to assess the diet composition of two wolf family groups. Scats were collected within the wolf home ranges (MCP100), delineated by the telemetry of two individuals marked with collars (M1 and F1). Scats were placed in paper envelopes and then dried in laboratory dryers for five days at 70°C. Afterward, scats were soaked and washed through a fine 0.5 mm mesh sieve. The dried remaining material was weighed. The food items were identified based on the presence of hair, fragments of bones, hooves, claws, teeth, and feathers, using specialist keys, as well as comparison with our reference material. In case of uncertainty, the genetic identification of the prey species based on mitochondrial DNA sequencing was applied.


The dataset contains the following columns:
