A worldwide perspective on large carnivore attacks on humans.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Large carnivores have long fascinated human societies and have profound influences on ecosystems. However, their conservation represents one of the greatest challenges of our time, particularly where attacks on humans occur.

Examining human–carnivore interactions using a socio-ecological framework: sympatric wild canids in India as a case study [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Many carnivores inhabit human-dominated landscapes outside protected reserves. Spatially explicit assessments of carnivore distributions and livestock depredation patterns in human-use landscapes are crucial for minimizing negative interactions and ...

Human-carnivore relations: conflicts, tolerance and coexistence in the American West
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Carnivore and humans live in proximity due to carnivore recovery efforts and ongoing human encroachment into carnivore habitats globally. The American West is a region that uniquely exemplifies these human-carnivore dynamics, however, it is unclear how ...

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2021 The recent recovery of large carnivores in Europe has been explained as resulting from a decrease in human persecution driven by widespread rural land abandonment, paralleled by forest cover increase and the consequent increase in availability of shelter

Glimmers of hope in large carnivore recoveries
Scientific Reports, 2022 In the face of an accelerating extinction crisis, scientists must draw insights from successful conservation interventions to uncover promising strategies for reversing broader declines. Here, we synthesize cases of recovery from a list of 362 species of

Variable strategies to solve risk–reward tradeoffs in carnivore communities
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance An incomplete understanding of the total influence competitively dominant predators exert on subordinate species hinders our ability to anticipate the effects that changing carnivore populations will have on ecological communities.

Spatial heterogeneity facilitates carnivore coexistence.
Ecology, 2021 Competitively dominant carnivore species can limit the population sizes and alter the behavior of inferior competitors. Established mechanisms that enable carnivore coexistence include spatial and temporal avoidance of dominant predator species by ...

The ecology of human–carnivore coexistence
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance The persistence of large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes will become increasingly challenging as the human footprint expands. Here, we bring together long-term demographic and behavioral data on one of the worlds’ most conflict ...

Developments in data science solutions for carnivore tooth pit classification
Scientific Reports, 2021 Competition for resources is a key question in the study of our early human evolution. From the first hominin groups, carnivores have played a fundamental role in the ecosystem.
