Minimal impact of spotted hyenas on livestock and endangered species in a prey‐rich ecosystem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The diet of large carnivores is of great interest to conservation managers, as it can reveal the extent of human–carnivore conflict and the impact of carnivores on species of high conservation priority. Metabarcoding of environmental DNA can identify species and is often more reliable than observational or morphological methods, particularly when it ...

Adaptive harvesting of two trophic levels stabilises predator–prey dynamics. Simulations with Eurasian lynx and European roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Europe has seen the recovery of many species of wild herbivores, which are now widespread across much of the continent. In addition, large carnivores are also recolonising many European countries. Most ungulates are managed through hunting, but natural predation can also have a significant influence in many areas.

Enhancing hotspot mapping of illegal wild meat trade in Kenya through market surveys and confiscated meat analyses

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Illegal trade of wild meat pose a severe threat to the survival of wildlife populations. The decline in the number of some species has been directly linked to these illegal activities. Poachers and traders of illegal wild meat products often mask them as livestock meat to sell to consumers who may or may not be complicit.

Abundance, trends, and challenges facing mountain goats throughout their North American distribution

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Our survey of states and provinces revealed that 13% of native mountain goat populations increased during the past 10 years, whereas 38% declined. For introduced populations, increases were roughly equal to declines. Rates of change were positively associated with being introduced or pioneering, and negatively associated with heavy snow, and, to a ...
