Refining the stress gradient hypothesis for mixed species groups of African mammals

Scientific Reports, 2022
Species interactions such as facilitation and predation influence food webs, yet it is unclear how they are mediated by environmental gradients. Here we test the stress gradient hypothesis which predicts that positive species interactions increase with ...

Understanding Barriers to Human‐Wildlife Coexistence: Evidence From Southern Sri Lanka

Ecology and Evolution
Human‐wildlife coexistence (HW‐coexistence) is a central goal of conservation. However, efforts to achieve coexistence have largely focused on mitigating human‐wildlife conflict, while overlooking the underlying barriers to promote coexistence.

Eliciting community‐preferred policy alternatives for achieving workable coexistence in a human‐dominated landscape: Insights from Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
Human‐wildlife conflict is a global issue that poses a major threat to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Wildlife adapted to human‐modified landscapes in developing countries can threaten the safety and livelihood of local ...
