Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Conflict between cattle ranching and the conservation of jaguar (Panthera onca) and puma (Puma concolor) in the Amazon arc of deforestation.

PLoS ONE
Livestock predation constitutes the primary source of conflict between humans and large carnivores. Moreover, human factors, such as attitudes and emotions, can affect people's tolerance towards carnivores, exacerbating the conflict. Such conflicts often

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Dietary shift of the common leopard Panthera pardus in and around Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, western Himalayas: implications for conservation and human–wildlife conflict

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the dietary patterns of apex predator like the common leopard Panthera pardus is essential for evaluating their ecological role, particularly in landscapes where human–wildlife conflict is prevalent. In this context, this study investigates the seasonal diet composition of the common leopard in and around the Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, a ...

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...
