Large carnivore hunting and the social license to hunt. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2021
Abstract The social license to operate framework considers how society grants or withholds informal permission for resource extractors to exploit publicly owned resources. We developed a modified model, which we refer to as the social license to hunt (SLH).

Experimental validation of specialized questioning techniques in conservation. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Conservation increasingly relies on social science tools to understand human behavior. Specialized questioning techniques (SQTs) are a suite of methods designed to reduce bias in social surveys and are widely used to collect data on sensitive topics, including compliance with conservation rules.

Using miniaturized laboratory equipment and DNA barcoding to improve conservation genetics training and identify illegally traded species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Use of community characteristics to predict hunting and game harvests in western Amazonian forests. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Wild game harvesting in Amazonia provides rural residents with protein and cash income but can threaten wildlife populations and forest ecosystem functions. As yet, the socioeconomic and environmental drivers that shape hunter livelihoods remain poorly understood.

Coexisting with large carnivores based on the Volterra principle. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores represents one of the world's highest profile conservation challenges. Ecologists have identified ecological benefits derived from large carnivores (and large herbivores), yet livestock depredation, perceived competition for shared game, risks to pets and humans, and social conflicts often lead to demands for ...

International consensus principles for the sustainable harvest of polar bears. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Multilateral agreements are required for the effective management of large carnivores with ranges that cross geopolitical boundaries. This is particularly important for species subject to rapid changes in distribution or demographic status due to climate warming. We considered 3 international consensus principles for the sustainable harvest of

Simulating the efficacy of wolf-dog hybridization management with individual-based modeling. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
In the photo, an introgressed adult wolf–dog in the Northern Apennines, Italy, not far from the city of Bologna. Part of a research program, this male has been sterilized and released back in its own pack with a Global Positioning Collar. Abstract Introgressive hybridization between wolves and dogs is a conservation concern due to its potentially ...

Etología, cacería y escape

Revista Colombiana de Filosofía de la Ciencia, 2021
A partir de la biología teórica de Jakob Von Uexküll, el artículo expone cómo una protoetología constituye la condición de posibilidad del diseño de trampas y de todas las prácticas de cacería; en qué sentido la liberación del comportamiento garantizan ...
