To date, their presence in wild boar\u2019s (<jats:italic>Sus scrofa<\/jats:italic>) diet and factors driving their consumption have been little investigated. A genetic metabarcoding approach was used on 80 wild boar faeces collected from four hunting estates devoted to small game hunting during two different seasons. Abundances of wild boar, rabbits and partridges were first estimated. Results showed DNA of seventeen chordate species. The highest frequency of occurrence (FO) corresponded to mammals and birds, with 77.6 and 22.3%, respectively. DNA of game species was detected in 39\/71 (FO\u2009=\u200955.0%) samples, highlighting the presence of European wild rabbit in 27 (FO\u2009=\u200938.0%) and red-legged partridge in eight (FO\u2009=\u200911.3%). Dietary composition varied between seasons and estates, being rabbit the main responsible (explaining 35.26% and 39.45% of differences, respectively). Rabbit FO in the diet was positively related to the abundance of wild boar and rabbit density on the estate. It was greater in autumn and in estates where rabbits were hunted. Regarding red-legged partridge, a significant and positive relationship between its population density and its diet FO was observed, without significant differences between seasons or estates. Overall, our results suggest wild boar as an opportunistic species whose diet is largely determined by the relative availability of different food resources. Its ecological role concerning small game species in Mediterranean agroecosystems seems to be more related to consumption of carrion during the hunting season than to direct predation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10344-023-01647-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]],"date-time":"2023-01-27T14:47:16Z","timestamp":1674830836000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Understanding the impact of wild boar on the European wild rabbit and red-legged partridge populations using a diet metabarcoding approach"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"69","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6989-970X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio J.","family":"Carpio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3633-7217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Queir\u00f3s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0250-3157","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Laguna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2090-9353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sa\u00fal","family":"Jim\u00e9nez-Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8416-3672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joaqu\u00edn","family":"Vicente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4797-0939","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo C.","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3509-7696","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pelayo","family":"Acevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"1647_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"519","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268806007059","volume":"135","author":"P Acevedo","year":"2007","unstructured":"Acevedo P, Vicente J, H\u00f6fle U, Cassinello J, Ruiz-Fons F, Gort\u00e1zar C (2007) Estimation of European wild boar relative abundance and aggregation: a novel method in epidemiological risk assessment.
