Wild boar were trapped from June 2013 to July 2020 (n=30, 17 females and 13 males) and sedated through a mixture of zolazepam and tiletamine (Zoletil 50 + 50 mg ml-1), either alone or in combination with xylazine. We estimated the age of captured individuals by teeth eruption and wear. Finally, we equipped them with GPS collars (GPS PRO light collar, Vectronic Aerospace GmbH).
