Human disturbance increases trophic niche overlap in terrestrial carnivore communities
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Niche theory posits that species must limit overlap in the use of space, time, or resources to minimize competition. However, human disturbances are rapidly altering ecosystems with uncertain consequences for niche partitioning.

Large carnivore response to human road use suggests a landscape of coexistence
, 2021 Coexistence between humans and large carnivores may depend on carnivore adaptations to use developed landscapes while reducing human encounters. Roads are a widespread form of human development that carnivores may perceive as efficient travel routes or ...

An ecological framework for contextualizing carnivore–livestock conflict
Conservation Biology, 2020 Carnivore predation on livestock is a complex management and policy challenge, yet it is also intrinsically an ecological interaction between predators and prey.

Ecology 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 ...

Media Framing of Financial Mechanisms for Resolving Human–Predator Conflict in Namibia [PDF]
, 2015 The decline in carnivore populations is largely exacerbated by lethal methods used to reduce livestock depredation. Financial mechanisms are designed to limit lethal control by reducing the cost of depredation. The media can affect how the general public

Global 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.

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

Impacts of human recreation on carnivores in protected areas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Mammalian carnivores can be particularly sensitive to human disturbance, even within protected areas (PAs). Our objective was to understand how human disturbance affects carnivore communities in southern Arizona, USA by studying habitat occupancy based ...
