Acoustic analysis of wolf howls recorded in Apennine areas with diferent vegetation covers
In animal communicartion, acoustic signals can be used to census individuals as well as groups of individuals of the same species. The wolf (Canis lupus) is a protected specis in Europe, and the study of its vocalization may furnish information about its spatial distribution, reproductive succes and...
