Growth and condition of the Sisimiut caribou was anlysed by means of mandible length, carcass weight, and back fat indices. Mandible lenght showed unchanged growth conditions since the late 1960s, and growth stops at 4 years of age.

Our work points to the importance of both Western science and IK data sources in models used for conservation and management decisions. We show how the models that include the IK result in more informed predictions and the value of IK when predicting important areas for species that may be relied upon for conservation and management decisions.

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
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

A review of participatory mapping in conservation science and practice
There has been a recent increase and diversification in the use of participatory mapping in the field of conservation, however, methodological standards remain both disjointed and confounding. We conducted a comprehensive review of the conservation participatory mapping literature and synthesized geographical, temporal, and topical trends across a ...

This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves
Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.
