Scaling issues in the study of livestock depredation by carnivores [PDF]

Landscape Ecology
Abstract Context Many studies have documented the magnitude and socioecological drivers of livestock depredation, yet few have assessed how observations of depredation might vary with spatiotemporal scale. Understanding scaling relationships may allow for more accurate aggregation of observations collected across diverse

Wolf depredation hotspots in France: Clustering analyses adjusting for livestock availability

Biological Conservation, 2022
Areas exhibiting high levels of predations on livestock generate conflicts between humans and large carnivores. Managers generally seek to identify these hotspots, in order to diagnose the causes that lead to hotspot formations and to provide financial or technical support to the involved livestock owners.

Effects of Remedial Sport Hunting on Cougar Complaints and Livestock Depredations

PLoS ONE, 2013
Remedial sport hunting of predators is often used to reduce predator populations and associated complaints and livestock depredations. We assessed the effects of remedial sport hunting on reducing cougar complaints and livestock depredations in Washington from 2005 to 2010 (6 years).

Wolf Lethal Control and Livestock Depredations: Counter-Evidence from Respecified Models

PLOS ONE, 2016
We replicated the study conducted by Wielgus and Peebles (2014) on the effect of wolf mortality on livestock depredations in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho states in the US. Their best models were found to be misspecified due to the omission of the time index and incorrect functional form.

Evaluation of intercept feeding to reduce livestock depredation by grizzly bears

Ursus, 2017
Supplemental and diversionary feeding can reduce conflicts between wildlife and people. However, feeding also can increase species abundance, survival, and reproductive success, which might increase human–wildlife conflicts. In southwestern Alberta, Canada, the provincial government fed road-killed ungulates to grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) each spring ...
