Article Synopsis
- Wild boar populations have surged in Europe recently, and understanding their behavior, particularly their nocturnal activity patterns, is crucial for managing human encounters and hunting efforts.
- A study using GPS tracking of 34 wild boars in Central Europe revealed they are mostly active at night but exhibit increased daytime activity in areas with low or no hunting pressure.
- Environmental factors, such as high air temperatures and forest locations, typically reduce wild boar activity, while proximity to forestry or agricultural tracks tends to increase it, indicating their adaptability to local conditions.
