Hunting‐mediated predator facilitation and superadditive mortality in a European ungulate

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Predator‐prey theory predicts that in the presence of multiple types of predators using a common prey, predator facilitation may result as a consequence of contrasting prey defense mechanisms, where reducing the risk from one predator increases the risk ...

Human-carnivore relations: conflicts, tolerance and coexistence in the American West

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Carnivore and humans live in proximity due to carnivore recovery efforts and ongoing human encroachment into carnivore habitats globally. The American West is a region that uniquely exemplifies these human-carnivore dynamics, however, it is unclear how ...

Spatiotemporal patterns of lion (Panthera leo) space use in a human–wildlife system

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Conserving large carnivores requires protecting landscape spaces that encompass all spatiotemporal scales of their movement. Large carnivores normally roam widely, but habitat loss and fragmentation can constrain their movement in ways that restrict ...

Paradoxes and synergies: optimizing management of a deadly virus in an endangered carnivore [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2021
AbstractPathogen management strategies in wildlife are typically accompanied by an array of uncertainties such as the efficacy of vaccines or potential unintended consequences of interventions. In the context of such uncertainties, models of disease transmission can provide critical insight for optimizing pathogen management, especially for species of ...
