Large carnivore damage in Europe: Analysis of compensation and prevention programs
Biological Conservation, 2019 Abstract The mitigation of conflicts associated with large carnivore damage to livestock and agriculture is pivotal to their conservation. We evaluate current programs to compensate and prevent large carnivore damage in 27 European countries and the factors related to the economic costs of these programs.

Naturally-occurring tooth wear, tooth fracture, and cranial injuries in large carnivores from Zambia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Determining the incidence and causes of craniodental damage in wild carnivores is often constrained by limited access to specimens with associated ecological data, such as prey type and abundance. We assessed dental condition and cranial injuries in lion,
