The Integral Nature of Encounter Rate in Predicting Livestock Depredation Risk
Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022 Carnivore depredation of livestock is one of the primary drivers of human-carnivore conflict globally, threatening the well-being of livestock owners, and fueling large carnivore population declines. Interventions designed to reduce carnivore depredation

Hunting, Exotic Carnivores, and Habitat Loss: Anthropogenic Effects on a Native Carnivore Community, Madagascar. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The wide-ranging, cumulative, negative effects of anthropogenic disturbance, including habitat degradation, exotic species, and hunting, on native wildlife has been well documented across a range of habitats worldwide with carnivores potentially being ...

Hunting‐mediated predator facilitation and superadditive mortality in a European ungulate
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Predator‐prey theory predicts that in the presence of multiple types of predators using a common prey, predator facilitation may result as a consequence of contrasting prey defense mechanisms, where reducing the risk from one predator increases the risk ...

Testing the effects of anthropogenic pressures on a diverse African herbivore community
Ecosphere, 2020 Large herbivore communities around the world have declined steeply in recent decades. Although excessive bushmeat harvesting is thought to be the primary cause of herbivore declines in many ecosystems, the direct effects of anthropogenic pressures on ...

Hierarchical multi-species modeling of carnivore responses to hunting, habitat and prey in a West African protected area. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global efforts to shield wildlife from anthropogenic impacts, yet their effectiveness at protecting wide-ranging species prone to human conflict--notably mammalian carnivores--is increasingly in question.

Long‐Term Demography of Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta) in a Lion‐Depleted but Prey‐Rich Ecosystem
Ecology and EvolutionInterspecific competition has strongly shaped the evolution of large carnivore guilds. In Africa, the lion (Panthera leo) and spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta, hereafter hyena) exert direct and indirect competitive impacts on each other and on subordinate ...

Carcass appearance does not influence scavenger avoidance of carnivore carrion
Scientific Reports, 2022 The selection or avoidance of certain carrion resources by vertebrate scavengers can alter the flow of nutrients in ecosystems. Evidence suggests higher trophic level carrion is scavenged by fewer vertebrate species and persists longer when compared to ...
