Drought intensifies dominant competitor avoidance and risk‐dependent habitat selection in a large carnivore guild

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intraguild competition is a key force structuring predator communities, with dominant species impacting subordinate species' space use and access to resources. Climate change may intensify or reshape these processes, yet how climate conditions interact with dominance to influence predator space use and resource selection remains poorly understood.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Spatio‐temporal patterns, associated factors and mitigation of tiger and leopard attacks on people in western Himalayas

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Coexistence with large carnivores becomes extremely difficult in areas where there are large number of attacks on humans. An understanding of the factors that explain the spatio‐temporal context of such attacks would guide policy and management to mitigate conflict, conserve carnivores and assist coexistence.

Belief and the beast: Religion and attitudes towards tigers in Central India

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human perceptions of wildlife are critical to shaping conservation outcomes, particularly in landscapes where people coexist with large carnivores. Religion, a deeply rooted sociocultural force, remains underexplored in the context of human–wildlife conflict.

Human–wildlife coexistence and social context: Evidence from farmer communities in southern Sri Lanka

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies on human–wildlife interactions (HWI) often focus on conflict mitigation studies, thus overlooking underlying factors that influence community decisions to coexist with wildlife. To address this knowledge gap, we collected empirical evidence of how community interactions with wildlife are shaped by their social contexts.

Rewilding's technological experiments: Virtual reality and scalable narratives of rewilding in the Scottish highlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.
