Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...
