Article Synopsis
  • - Human populations have historically interacted with large carnivores, evident through archaeological findings that show modifications to bones, suggesting both competition and collaboration over time.
  • - Researchers are using 3D modeling and data analysis to examine the variability in tooth marks from Iberian wolves, focusing on how captivity influences these marks compared to their wild counterparts.
  • - The study finds that while tooth pits from captive wolves are less affected, the scores are more superficial, which could impact tooth mark morphology and raises questions about the stress factors affecting these wolves, prompting caution in using tooth scores for identification.
