Bear-baiting may exacerbate wolf-hunting dog conflict. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: The influence of policy on the incidence of human-wildlife conflict can be complex and not entirely anticipated. Policies for managing bear hunter success and depredation on hunting dogs by wolves represent an important case because with ...

Livestock Depredation and Its Impact on Farmers in Trongsa District, Bhutan

Indonesian Journal of Social and Environmental Issues, 2023
This survey was conducted in the Trongsa District of Bhutan to assess and document the depredation of livestock by wild predators, time, and seasonality of predation, estimate the economic value of livestock losses in three years (2019-2021), and assess ...

Marine Mammal Interactions With Fisheries: Review of Research and Management Trends Across Commercial and Small-Scale Fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine mammal interactions with fisheries, such as bycatch and depredation, are a common occurrence across commercial and small-scale fisheries. We conducted a systematic review to assess the management responses to marine mammal interactions with ...

Cattle depredation risk by gray wolves on grazing allotments in Washington

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Livestock depredation was a primary factor in wolf extirpation from most of the conterminous United States by the 1930s. Through reintroductions and natural dispersals, gray wolves (Canis lupus) have recolonized portions of their former range.

Blue sheep strongly affect snow leopard relative abundance but not livestock depredation in the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Large carnivores play key roles in their ecosystems, but their protection is a major challenge in biodiversity conservation due to conflicts with human interests. The snow leopard (Panthera uncia) is the top predator of Asian high-altitude landscapes and

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 ...

Depredation influences anglers’ perceptions on coastal shark management and conservation in the United States Gulf of Mexico

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
Overfishing, habitat degradation, and climate change have caused declines in shark populations throughout the world’s oceans. However, in the United States Gulf of Mexico (GoM), populations of several coastal shark species are starting to stabilize ...

A Device to Record the Specific Time an Artificial Nest is Depredated

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
We designed a timing device that records the calendar date and time of a depredation event on an artificial nest. The clock was simple to construct and successful in field trials, with only 6% failure (3 of 48 clocks).

Modeling the relationship between wolf control and cattle depredation.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Wolf control to reduce cattle depredation is an important issue to ecology and agriculture in the United States. Two recent papers use the same dataset having wolf population characteristics and cattle depredation, but come to opposing conclusions ...
