Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Risk reduction, rangeland use, and the future of human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to reduce livestock losses to large carnivores are widely regarded as essential for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Predator‐proof enclosures, compensation programs, improved livestock guarding, and real‐time predator alert systems can reduce depredation and retaliatory killing while enhancing pastoralist livelihoods.

Restoring elk in Minnesota: Landowner support for restoring an elk population

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study surveyed landowners in northeast Minnesota to understand psychological factors influencing support for restoring a wild, free‐ranging elk population. Findings showed that positive attitudes toward elk—shaped by perceived risks, social trust in wildlife managers, and perceived personal control—strongly predicted support, with the model ...

Local perceptions of Asiatic black bear conservation in a subsistence agriculture community of Mustang, Nepal

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Household surveys in Kunjo, Mustang district examined local perceptions of Asiatic black bear conservation, crop damage, and human‐bear interactions. Crop damage was greater near forest edges, while more than half of households have negative attitude towards bear conservation. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating local perceptions and

Tolerance for jaguars among ranching communities in the Colombian Llanos

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livestock protection measures are often implemented with the desired outcome of reducing retaliatory killings. We studied drivers of retaliatory killings in four communities in the Colombian Llanos and evaluated whether an electric fencing intervention would improve tolerance for jaguars.

Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

Ibis, EarlyView.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

Beyond the breeding grounds: identifying post‐breeding staging areas, corridors and ecological niche of the Lesser Kestrel

Ibis, EarlyView.
The post‐breeding period is a critical yet overlooked phase in the annual cycle of migratory birds, where individuals must resolve competing bioenergetic trade‐offs between recovery from breeding, moult and migratory fuelling. Using GPS data from 54 adult Lesser Kestrels Falco naumanni tracked across Spain, we analysed 76 post‐breeding tracks to ...
