Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore [PDF]

Animal Conservation
ABSTRACTFinding methods to reduce livestock depredations is important for conserving recovering populations of large carnivores and mitigating impacts on ranching livelihoods. This is especially true for ensuring the successful reintroductions of endangered carnivores, such as the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), an endangered subspecies of gray ...

The Integral Nature of Encounter Rate in Predicting Livestock Depredation Risk

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
Carnivore depredation of livestock is one of the primary drivers of human-carnivore conflict globally, threatening the well-being of livestock owners, and fueling large carnivore population declines. Interventions designed to reduce carnivore depredation

Effects of Wolf Mortality on Livestock Depredations

PLoS ONE, 2014
Predator control and sport hunting are often used to reduce predator populations and livestock depredations, but the efficacy of lethal control has rarely been tested. We assessed the effects of wolf mortality on reducing livestock depredations in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming from 1987-2012 using a 25 year time series. The number of livestock depredated,

Wolf population monitoring and livestock depredation preventive measures in Europe

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2012
Reliable estimates of population parameters and their trends are necessary for effective management and conservation actions, especially for endangered species such as wolves in most European countries. Under the Habitat Directive 92/43/CEE, all countries are required to monitor the status of their endangered populations.
