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

Wildlife Damage to Crops Adjacent to a Protected Area in Southeastern Mexico: Farmers’ Perceptions Versus Actual Impact

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2020
Human–wildlife conflicts occur when wildlife has an adverse effect on human activities (e.g., predation of livestock, crop raiding). These conflicts are increasing, particularly in areas surrounding natural protected areas, where villagers engage in ...

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 ...

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).

Wolf and Bear Depredation on Livestock in Northern Sweden 1827–2014: Combining History, Ecology and Interviews

Land, 2017
During the twenty-first century, large carnivores have increased in human dominated landscapes after being extinct or nearly extinct. This has resulted in increasing numbers of livestock killed by large carnivores.

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.
