Regional coyote densities estimated from camera trapping covary with deer productivity, anthropogenic land use, and human–coyote conflicts

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Density estimates assist conservation and management decisions. Unfortunately, management of elusive mesocarnivores occurring at low densities has often relied on qualitative metrics or population indices. The proliferation of camera trap sampling of wildlife provides an opportunity to apply recently developed methods for estimating density of unmarked

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 ...

Contrasting properties of predation and scavenging networks governed by megaherbivores in an African savannah

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

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 ...
