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.

Conservation publications and their provisions to protect research participants. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2020
Abstract Social science methods are increasingly applied in conservation research. However, the conservation sector has received criticism for inadequate ethical rigor when research involves people, particularly when investigating socially sensitive or illegal behaviors.

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 ...

Metrics for quantifying how much different threats contribute to red lists of species and ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Red lists are a crucial tool for the management of threatened species and ecosystems. Among the information red lists provide, the threats affecting the listed species or ecosystem, such as pollution or hunting, are of special relevance.

Characterizing the trophy hunting debate on Twitter

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Social media is an arena of debate for contentious political and social topics. One conservation topic debated online is the acceptability of trophy hunting, a debate that has implications for national and international policy. We used a mixed‐methods approach (grounded theory and quantitative clustering) to identify themes in the trophy ...
