Linking genotype, ecotype, and phenotype in an intensively managed large carnivore [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2013
AbstractNumerous factors influence fitness of free‐ranging animals, yet often these are uncharacterized. We integratedGPShabitat use data and genetic profiling to determine their influence on fitness proxies (mass, length, and body condition) in a threatened population of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) inAlberta,Canada.

Tolerance for cougars diminished by high perception of risk

Ecology and Society, 2016
In North America, both human and cougar populations are expanding and increasingly sharing the same space, including modified landscapes viewed by people as their "backyard." Low tolerance for cougars in modified landscapes has been identified as a key ...

Management of wolf and lynx conflicts with human interests [PDF]

, 2007
In many areas viable populations of large carnivores are political goals. One of the most important factors in order to achieve viable large carnivore populations is human tolerance for presence of large carnivores.

Carnivores’ contributions to people in Europe

Ecology and Society
Human-carnivore relations in Europe have varied throughout history. Because of recent conservation efforts and passive rewilding, carnivore populations are recovering, which translates into more interactions with humans.
