Valuation of Large Carnivores and Regulated Carnivore Hunting

Journal of Forest Economics, 2020
Large carnivores are keystone species but represent economic costs to hunters.

The wolf, lynx, and brown bear are protected species by law but are hunted when authorities allocate license hunting quotas.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
