Bovines, buffers and barriers: A social scientific perspective on rewilding in the Kavango‐Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Rewilding is often summarized with the three C's of Carnivores, Cores and Corridors. In this essay we propose a complementary perspective that focuses on the three B's of Bovines, Buffers and Barriers. This complementary perspective draws attention to rewilding as a social (rather than only ecological) challenge and is illustrated with insights from ...

Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...
