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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Relationship between Traffic Accident and Sight Distance to Signal at Intersection close to Bridge with Downhill

open access: yesINFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING REVIEW, 2001
This study aims at examining the relationship between traffic accidents and the probability that the sight distances to traffic signals are inadequate at signalized intersections with downhill. The signalized intersections with downhill are selected firstly as less effective sites of the road safety measures by a preliminary statistical analysis based ...
