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 ...

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

Killer whale depredation and associated costs to Alaskan sablefish, Pacific halibut and Greenland turbot longliners. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Killer whale (Orcinus orca) depredation (whales stealing or damaging fish caught on fishing gear) adversely impacts demersal longline fisheries for sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) and Greenland turbot ...

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 ...

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.

Using models of social transmission to examine the spread of longline depredation behavior among sperm whales in the Gulf of Alaska. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Fishing, farming and ranching provide opportunities for predators to prey on resources concentrated by humans, a behavior termed depredation. In the Gulf of Alaska, observations of sperm whales depredating on fish caught on demersal longline gear dates ...

A Conservation-Based Approach to Compensation for Livestock Depredation: The Florida Panther Case Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Calf (Bos taurus) depredation by the federally endangered Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) on ranches in southwest Florida is an important issue because ranches represent mixed landscapes that provide habitat critical to panther recovery.

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 ...

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 ...
