The crossroads of tradition and modern technology: integrative approaches to studying carnivores in low density ecosystems

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The study of large carnivores in semi-arid ecosystems presents inherent challenges due to their low densities, extensive home ranges, and elusive nature. We explore the potential for the synthesis of traditional knowledge (i.e.

Integrating human acceptance into habitat suitability models for snow leopards in northern Bhutan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat suitability models are commonly used to assess the potential distribution of large carnivores by identifying ecologically favourable areas. However, these models often overlook human dimensions, such as conflict and acceptance, which can lead to overestimation of species ranges and a mismatch between predicted and actual distributions.

Drivers of change in human–wildlife relationships: Southern Africa as an example

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–wildlife relationships (HWRs) are changing globally in response to shifts in ecological dynamics and societal values, often resulting in contestation. With an increasing need to enable human–wildlife coexistence, it is essential to better understand the drivers of change in HWRs.

Sharing landscapes with wildlife: Conflict and coexistence between high nature value pastoral systems and large carnivores

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract High nature value (HNV) pastoral systems, that is those maintained by herding, transhumance and extensive grazing practices, are recognised as cornerstones of European biodiversity, cultural heritage and ecosystem service provision. Yet these systems are currently under significant pressure from a range of economic, social and environmental ...

Semi‐automated seal detection on the Western Antarctic Peninsula: an unsupervised machine learning approach for detecting ice seals in aerial survey data

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a semi‐automated, rule‐based image analysis pipeline to detect ice seals in aerial surveys of the Western Antarctic Peninsula during an unusually low sea ice year. By using simple hierarchical clustering instead of deep learning, the method substantially reduced human annotation effort while achieving 82% recall, identifying 758 ...

The Tsushima leopard cat exhibits extremely low genetic diversity compared with the Korean Amur leopard cat: Implications for conservation [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
We examined genetic diversity of the wild Tsushima leopard cat—a regional population of the Amur leopard cat—using microsatellite markers. In addition, we compared genetic diversity of the Tsushima leopard cat with that of the Korean population of Amur ...

An autonomous network of acoustic detectors to map tiger risk by eavesdropping on prey alarm calls

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human‐tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alarm calls as a proxy for tiger risk and provide a risk map to local communities in real‐time.

Mapping habitat suitability and connectivity for Himalayan brown bears in Pakistan: Implications for conservation management

Global Ecology and Conservation
The Himalayan brown bear (Ursus arctos isabellinus) is a subspecies of brown bear that represents an ancient lineage. In Pakistan, it is classified as a critically endangered species with a patchy distribution, surviving in isolated populations over an ...
