Delisting the Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf from the US Endangered Species Act: an assessment of political discourse over 20 years

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Feared, revered, and politicized, wolves have long captured human imagination, and ignited fierce conservation conflicts. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act protects species at risk of extinction from human impacts. This far‐reaching legislation, which impacts development and state‐level wildlife management, has been fraught with legal ...

Spatial characterization of human-puma interactions in social-ecological land systems of ArgentinaGitHub

Global Ecology and Conservation
Interactions between humans and carnivores are widespread and shaped by diverse social-ecological factors. In Argentina, interactions with pumas (Puma concolor) primarily involve livestock depredation and hunting.

Both forest cover and land management practices explain variation in recovering pine marten densities

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Robust monitoring of wildlife populations to guide interventions is fundamental to conservation and wildlife management. Understanding how landscape characteristics are influencing predator population dynamics is often vital to inform recovery strategies, management, and policy. The pine marten Martes martes is recovering in the UK; however, population

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour to predict farmers' intention to report livestock depredation and kill hyena

People and Nature
Understanding and managing conservation conflicts is important for stakeholders (e.g. policymakers and practitioners) trying to minimise negative impacts on people and biodiversity. A key component of Namibia's community‐based natural resource management

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

Reduction in livestock losses following placement of livestock guarding dogs and the impact of herd species and dog sex [PDF]

, 2015
Livestock guarding dogs have been placed on South African farms by the not-for-profit organisation, Cheetah Outreach Trust, since 2005, and have been proven to be an efficient form of non-lethal predator control against jackal, caracal, leopards ...

Carbon Farming Optimisation With Market Premiums for Biodiversity Co‐Benefits Under Climate Change Socio‐Economic Pathway Scenarios

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and restoration goals requires innovative solutions that balance carbon sequestration with biodiversity conservation. Payments for ecosystem services markets often treat carbon sequestration and biodiversity separately, but integrating biodiversity as a co‐benefit within ...
