Space and resource use by American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos in an area endemic for chronic wasting disease

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos is a common species throughout North America. Crows play a role in the ecology of multiple diseases and a single laboratory experiment has shown the potential for crows to pass infectious prions, such as those associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD), in their feces after being force‐fed with infected material ...

Selectivity and efficiency of predator control methods: a case study from a Mediterranean hunting ground

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predator control is a widely used management tool worldwide to reduce the impact of opportunistic predatory species, but in some contexts where predators are controlled to reduce negative impacts on game species, there are concerns about the selectivity and efficiency.

Why promoting democratic conservation governance requires less stakeholder engagement

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Better citizen engagement is needed in response to the conservation governance crisis, but stakeholder engagement may represent precisely the wrong type of public participation. We outline the etiology of stakeholder engagement, explain how it hollows out the public sphere, and suggest wildlife managers consider alternatives to stakeholder engagement ...

Sources of Eustress in Captivity

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Zoo environments foster enhanced animal welfare, integrated conservation, and improved population sustainability through the provision of eustressful factors (e.g., enrichment, social choice, positive human‐animal relationships), thus promoting cognitive challenge, improved resilience, and positive life experiences.

An agent-based model of elephant crop raid dynamics in the Periyar–Agasthyamalai complex, India

Ecological Modelling
Human-wildlife conflict challenges conservation worldwide, which requires innovative management solutions. We developed a prototype Agent-Based Model (ABM) to simulate interactions between humans and solitary bull Asian elephants in the Periyar-Agasthyamalai complex of the Western Ghats in Kerala, India. The main challenges were the complex behavior of

Herbivore species asynchrony underpins multitrophic stability across plants, herbivores and predators

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across a grassland food web, multitrophic stability was most closely associated with herbivore species asynchrony. By identifying herbivores as a key source of temporal buffering between plants and predators, this study shows that intermediate consumers can play a central role in stabilizing the complex food web.

Determinants of locals’ perceptions of elephant crop raiding and support for conservation in two distinct protected areas in Tanzania

Discover Global Society
Globally, human-wildlife interactions represent complex circumstances arising from the intersecting needs of wildlife and humans. The research occurred in eight villages adjacent to Lake Manyara National Park (LMNP) and the Swagaswaga Game Reserve (SGR ...

Relationship: Orientation, politics, ethics, and the idea and practice of self‐determination

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract First Nations people deeply value relational modes of organising politics, governance, and social order that do not feature in European‐derived political ordering or in dominant governance and policy scholarship. While Indigenous peoples have long sought equitable and respectful relationships in the context of forced colonial engagement, the ...

Mitigation Of Primate Crop Raiding In Gishwati Forest Reserve, Rwanda

, 2013
Keith Summerville (Mentor) ; Michael Renner (Mentor)Conservation efforts are sometimes undermined by human-animal conflicts near protected areas, such as wildlife raiding crops from local farms. Since 2007, crop raiding conflict has been observed between
