Exploring odontocete depredation rates in a pelagic longline fishery. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Several odontocete species depredate catch and bait from fishing gear, resulting in their bycatch and causing substantial economic costs. There are no known mitigation methods for odontocete depredation in pelagic longline fisheries that are effective ...

Detectability and predator strategy affect egg depredation rates: Implications for mitigating nest depredation in farmlands

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
Predation is a major evolutionary force in animal ecology. Mechanisms by which prey coloration provides camouflage has been widely studied. However, predator response to prey camouflage and concealment has received less attention. Understanding vegetation structure effect on depredation success could help managers design strategies to mitigate the ...

Dynamic primary resources, not just wild prey availability, underpin lion depredation of livestock in a savanna ecosystem [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Because it can lead to retaliatory killing, livestock depredation by large carnivores is among the foremost threats to carnivore conservation, and it severely impacts human well‐being worldwide.

Toothed whale and shark depredation indicators: A case study from the Reunion Island and Seychelles pelagic longline fisheries. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Depredation in marine ecosystems is defined as the damage or removal of fish or bait from fishing gear by predators. Depredation raises concerns about the conservation of species involved, fisheries yield and profitability, and reference points based on ...
