Transdisciplinary deficit in large carnivore conservation funding in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesNature Conservation, 2022
Achieving coexistence between humans and large carnivores in human-shaped landscapes is a complex challenge. Addressing this challenge requires the revaluation of the approaches academia uses to foster carnivore conservation and human-large carnivore ...

Identification of carnivore kill sites is improved by verified accelerometer data

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry, 2020
Background Quantifying kill rates is central to understanding predation ecology. However, estimating kill rates and prey composition in carnivore diets is challenging due to their low densities and cryptic behaviors limiting direct observations ...

Spatial capture–recapture with multiple noninvasive marks: An application to camera‐trapping data of the European wildcat (Felis silvestris) using R package multimark

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
In Switzerland, the European wildcat (Felis silvestris), a native felid, is protected by national law. In recent decades, the wildcat has slowly returned to much of its original range and may have even expanded into new areas that were not known to be ...

Examining human–carnivore interactions using a socio-ecological framework: sympatric wild canids in India as a case study [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal 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 ...

Changes in the structure and functionof the North Sea fish foodweb, 1973-2000, and the impacts of fishing and climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
North Sea environmental and biological data were analysed to examine 30-year changes in production and consumption in the fish food web. The analysis revealed that the demand for secondary production placed on the ecosystem by fish declined from ...

Forest structure has stronger effects than cattle occurrence on the occupancy of a carnivore guild

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Anthropogenic activities can profoundly affect ecological communities. This is true of the most ubiquitous type of anthropogenic land-use, livestock grazing. While livestock grazing is known to impact vegetation structure, soil, and hydrological features,

Do carnivore surveys match reports of carnivore presence by pastoralists? A case of the eastern Serengeti ecosystem

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Human-carnivore encounters are common where humans and wild carnivores share the same landscape. The frequency of such encounters gives insight regarding carnivore density and might correlate with human-carnivore conflict incidences.

The Integral Nature of Encounter Rate in Predicting Livestock Depredation Risk

open access: yesFrontiers 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
