Carnivores [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2010
SummaryThe mammalian order Carnivora includes species we most love and fear — our household pets, dogs and cats, and large predators such as bears, lions, and wolves. Our fondness for domesticated carnivores is reflected in sheer numbers: the estimated number of household cats and dogs exceeds 100 million each, a global population size that easily ...

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2017
AbstractEcologists have traditionally focused on herbivore carcasses as study models in scavenging research. However, some observations of scavengers avoiding feeding on carnivore carrion suggest that different types of carrion may lead to differential pressures.

Valuation of Large Carnivores and Regulated Carnivore Hunting [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Forest Economics, 2020
Large carnivores are keystone species but represent economic costs to hunters. In Sweden, carnivore territories generally overlap with hunting areas, and as a result, conflicts occur because of the competition for prey. The wolf, lynx, and brown bear are protected species by law but are hunted when authorities allocate license hunting quotas.
