Carrion use by a reptile is influenced by season, habitat and competition with an apex mammalian scavenger

Ecology and Evolution
Scavenging on carrion is critical and often fiercely competitive for a range of vertebrate species, from native apex predators to invasive species and even reptiles. Within Australia, a notable reptilian scavenger is the lace monitor (Varanus varius). In

Farmers versus wolves: how geographic, social cognitive, and experiential factors influence attitudes towards a predator in Italy

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
A survey of 426 Italian farmers reveals that tolerance toward wolves varies geographically, with northern regions showing less acceptance. Negative intentions were linked to poor knowledge, while use of preventive methods fostered positive beliefs. These findings highlight the need for region‐specific, socially informed wolf management strategies in ...
