Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

How identity bias affects perceptions of conservation messages on social media
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Public support is essential for conservation, as public opinion can influence decision‐making and policy. Therefore, understanding whether bias toward conservationists due to their identity (identity bias) affects their perceived credibility and support for their recommendations is important.

Nutrient evaluation of a pork by-product and its use as environmental enrichment for managed large exotic cats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 North American zoological institutions typically feed ground raw meat diets to large exotic cats. These diets typically are nutritionally complete, but lack physical properties characteristic of whole prey.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We experimentally evaluated the effects of artificial lighting on mammal visitation patterns at waterholes in north‐central Namibia using motion‐activated camera traps across two dry seasons. Lighting had minimal effects on most species, although gemsboks increased use of artificially lit waterholes and lions reduced nocturnal activity at illuminated ...
