| Abstract | Non-invasive genetic sampling has been used to reconstruct spatial patterns of carnivore distributions, identify regions where conflicts with human activities could threaten the survival of a species, and assess the effectiveness of conservation strategies. In this study, we used detailed information on wolf (Canis lupus) and livestock distributions to infer depredation risks in a wide area of the Italian Apennines. We carried out a General Niche Environment System Factor Analysis (GNESFA) to define the potential distribution of wolves genotyped from 8565 samples collected during 12 years of non-invasive genetic monitoring in 3622 locations. Habitat suitability models indicated that the proportion of meadows, altitude, slope, roughness, and distance from human settlements were the main factors positively related to the potential wolf distribution, in contrast with the extension of cultivated fields and human settlements. Results of GNESFA were used to infer the local depredation risk, which was high in 46.9 % of the pastures, and to rank the areas where prevention tools should be used with priority. In this way, the use of often-limited financial resources for prevention could be promoted in pastures with the highest depredation risk and conflicts between husbandry and wolf presence might be mitigated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
