Troublemaking carnivores: conflicts with humans in a diverse assemblage of large carnivores
Ecology and Society, 2017 Human-wildlife conflicts are a global conservation and management challenge. Multipredator systems present added complexity to the resolution of human-wildlife conflicts because mitigation strategies often are species-specific. Documenting the type and
