Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate

Oikos, EarlyView.
Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

Urban wild meat and pangolin consumption across southern forested Cameroon: The limited influence of COVID‐19

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Overexploitation of wildlife is pervasive in many tropical regions, and in addition to being a significant conservation and sustainability concern, it has received global attention given discussions over the origins of zoonotic disease outbreaks.

Large, rugged and remote: The challenge of wolf–livestock coexistence on federal lands in the American West

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The expansion of grey wolves (Canis lupus) across the western United States, including on public lands used for extensive livestock grazing, requires tools and techniques for reducing wolf–livestock conflict and supporting coexistence. We examined approaches used on forested lands managed by the U.S.

SINGLE SPECIES VERSUS MULTIPLE SPECIES MODELS: THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS

Ecologists frequently note the importance of modelling entire ecosystems rather than single species, but most bioeconomic models in the current literature focus on a single species. While the mathematical difficulty of multiple species may quickly become

North-western Australia as a hotspot for endangered Elasmobranchs with particular reference to sawfishes and the Northern river Shark

, 2011
Recent targeted surveys, together with the collection of sawfish (Pristidae) rostra from the general public, have demonstrated that the Kimberley and northern Pilbara are important refuges for sawfish, with four of the world's seven species found here ...
