The European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW) as part the ENETWILD project, aims to improve capacity for monitoring wildlife populations, implementing international standards data collection, providing guidance on density estimation, and finally, promote collaborative, open networks develop monitoring, initially focusing terrestrial wild mammals. This report presents estimates species that are widely distributed (wild boar (Sus scrofa), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red (Cervus elaphus)) by...
The data sets provide long-term information (2013–2022) of the presence-only eight wild ungulates and red fox derived from harvest in a grid 5 × km Spain (21,836 cells). collected has been processed reported yearly, as well two monitoring periods accordance with Habitats Directive European Union to facilitate reporting about State nature, sum whole period. Data are structured following Darwin Core biological standard. set was published Spanish node Global Biodiversity Information Facility...
The goal of this report is i) to model the occurrence and hunting yield (HY) density wild ungulates not only for widely distributed species in Europe, but also those ones which have a constrained distribution ii) compare output with observed HY. Random Forest function was used modelling species. We data available from past 30 years, HY (period 2015-2020) records collected by ENETWILD. Like previous models based on HY, response variable maximum number ruminants annually hunted 2015-2020...
Abstract In order to monitor wildlife populations in a manner that supports policy makers and natural resource managers, data must be collected using frameworks methodologies allow for comparisons between projects across time. Though hunting statistics may represent reliable source monitoring population trends game species, standardised framework collecting analysing this has never been established Europe, even within countries. Here we describe case study on the use of Spain (i) variability...
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging tick-borne human disease in Spain. Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics and exposure risk determinants of CCHF virus (CCHFV) animal models essential to predict time areas highest transmission risk. With this goal, we designed a longitudinal survey two wild ungulate species, red deer (Cervus elaphus) Eurasian boar (Sus scrofa), Doñana National Park, protected Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot with high CCHFV vector abundance, which...
The goal of this report is modelling the occurrence for carnivores at European scale and to compare output with observed hunting yield (HY) density models red fox (Vulpes vulpes) badger (Meles meles). Random Forest function was used species. Occurrences available from past 30 years (1990-2020), HY data (period 2012-2021) records submitted ENETWILD were considered modelling. Like previous based on ungulates, response variable maximum number hunted in that period divided by area km2...
The representation of wildlife-livestock interface (WLI) at an accurate spatial resolution poses several challenges. Furthermore, there is a lack published material providing detailed descriptions geospatial techniques for the purpose producing visual results that are interpretable and contrastable epidemiological analysis.
Abstract Wildlife population monitoring requires that collected information be comparable among data collection frameworks and useful in decision making. Hunting statistics may suppose a reliable alternative for trends of game species, however, there is not common homogeneous framework Europe, even, within countries. As case study, we aimed to i) describe the variability big across mainland regions Spain, ii) propose minimum denominator harmonized approach at country level. The main...
Background: Representing the wildlife-livestock interface (WLI) with accurate spatial resolution poses several challenges and lacks detailed descriptions of geospatial techniques for producing visually interpretable contrastable outputs epidemiological analyses.Objectives: Our aim is to develop a standardized, applicable, scalable methodological framework describing characterizing WLI across large extent, specifically focusing on mainland Spain. Subsequently, we employ this depict specific...

Vector abundance is an essential ecological parameter to infer vector-borne pathogen transmission risks. Spatiotemporal patterns of vector are heterogeneous and determine variations in the risk that must be understood prevent diseases. To unravel demographic determinants exophilic ticks Mediterranean environments, we estimated tick burdens on 1,965 wild ungulates Doñana National Park, Spain, annually between 2010 2020. A total 51,431 were counted ungulates, including nine species. We...
