Material use to build the figures presented in the manuscript: The importance of livestock in the diet of Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) in Northwestern Mexico

The reintroduction of the Mexican wolf in the wilds of Northwestern Mexico has allowed us to address its trophic ecology and elucidate conflicts with livestock producers: their main mortality factor. Our objective was to determine the feeding habits of wolves in Mexico, as well as the quantity and frequency of livestock predation in relation to seasonal and individual variables, through the analysis of genetically identified scats. During 2012-2022 we collected 1,171 Mexican wolf scats. We extracted and sequenced DNAm and identified individuals and their sex using microsatellite analysis. We washed the scat and separated the undigested components for taxonomic identification. We estimated the frequency of prey items, the biomass it contributed to the diet, and compared prey consumption between sexes and between the birth and dispersal seasons. We constructed generalized linear models to identify the relationship between livestock presence in the diet and dietary prey richness with respe..., The dataset presented is the summary of information used to construct the figures utilized in the manuscript. It was processed using a variety of analysis expressed in the manuscript., , # Material use to build the figures presented in the manuscript: The importance of livestock in the diet of Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) in Northwestern Mexico

## Description of the data and file structure

The dataset contains data used to construct the figures used in the manuscript The importance of livestock in the diet of Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) in Northwestern Mexico based on data collected from 2012 to 2022.

The dataset contains a word file that contains the tables used to build figures 2, 3 and 4.
There is a heading per figure.

Figure 2. Biomass contribution of different ingested items to the diet of the Mexican wolf in Northwest Mexico from 2012 to 2022. The biomass contributed by White-tailed deer, cattle and diversionary feeding stood out throughout this period.
Heading of the table is the year of data collection in the columns, prey categories are listed per line in the fi...
