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

Comparative efficacy of sign surveys, spotlighting and audio playbacks in a landscape-scale carnivore survey [PDF]
Many carnivores are difficult and labour-intensive to detect, often leading to prohibitively high effort and cost in large-scale surveys. However, such studies provide information that is important for effective management and conservation.

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

Can we save large carnivores without losing large carnivore science? [PDF]
Large carnivores are depicted to shape entire ecosystems through top-down processes. Studies describing these processes are often used to support interventionist wildlife management practices, including carnivore reintroduction or lethal control programs.

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