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.

Integrating Indigenous knowledge and modern statistical approaches to model wildlife density based on animal track counts

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In multiuse areas outside formal protection, sustaining both wildlife and people is critical to wildlife conservation and coexistence efforts. Botswana's Kalahari hosts one of sub‐Saharan Africa’s largest unprotected areas supporting free‐ranging wildlife.

Areas of high risk for mammalian biodiversity and nature's contributions to people under global warming

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Climate change has reached unprecedented levels, causing frequent extreme events like droughts and fires. These changes are driving a sharp rise in extinction risk for mammals and threatening key Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) such as clean water, air quality, and climate regulation.

Mental models in rangeland research, communication and management

, 1998
There are disagreements among pastoralists, researchers, management agencies and other users of rangeland resources about how rangeland systems work, and how they should be valued, used and managed.

Integrated species distribution modeling to assess species status and current and future threats for an imperiled amphibian

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
To understand the range‐wide drivers of Arizona Toad distribution and anticipate future changes, we combined 13 datasets covering distinct portions of the range in an integrated species distribution model. We estimate that the current occupied range is 1/4–1/3 of previously defined range boundaries and that increasingly dry conditions will lead to ...

Pro‐environment behaviors, invasive plant management, and the gap between motivations for behavioral intention and action

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Invasive plant species pose significant challenges to natural resources and communities around the world. However, invasive plant management may require different motivations than other pro‐environmental behaviors because mitigation of invasive plants often comes at high individual cost, has limited effectiveness when undertaken in isolation, 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.

Threat Integration Model for Sagebrush (TIMS): A framework for using spatial decision support tools for strategic management of invasive annual grasses and conifers in sagebrush ecosystems

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The Threat Integration Model for Sagebrush (TIMS) combines multiple spatial decision support tools to provide a unified, actionable map of sagebrush ecosystem conditions across the western United States. TIMS improves upon existing tools by including multiple threats in the same map (invasive annual grass [IAG] and conifer encroachment), characterizing

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...
