Potential vs. Realized Large Carnivore Density: The Influence of Livestock on Carnivore Carrying Capacity Estimation

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an unfenced mixed‐use savanna landscape in Namibia, we compared realized densities of leopards and cheetahs estimated using spatial capture–recapture models with prey‐based carrying capacity predictions. Leopard densities exceeded predictions based on wild prey alone but closely matched livestock‐supplemented models, suggesting that vulnerable ...

Climate Contracting and Carbon Performance: Does Climate Governance Matter?

Corporate Governance: An International Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research Question/Issue Despite the growing integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG)‐linked incentives in executive compensation contracts, empirical evidence on their effectiveness in driving substantive ESG outcomes remains inconclusive.

A “Conveyor Belt” From International Standards to Domestic Regulation? Evidence From the International Political Economy of Net Zero Governance

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When and how do international standards influence domestic policies? The literature identifies a range of ways international standards may relate to domestic regulations—including by exporting, substituting, supplanting, or bolstering national rules—creating theoretical ambiguity.

Densities and perceptions of jaguars in coastal Nayarit, Mexico

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
Conservation of large carnivores will require greater analyses of population parameters, habitat use, and distribution in multiuse landscapes as human populations increase and agriculture expands.

Population Density and Spatial–Temporal Niche Use of Ship Rats and Italian Wall Lizards on a Small Adriatic Island

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We quantified population density and spatial–temporal niche use of ship rats (Rattus rattus) and Italian wall lizards (Podarcis siculus) on a small uninhabited Adriatic islet using spatially explicit capture–recapture, distance sampling, and camera trapping.

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Spatially Explicit Capture-Recapture Through Camera Trapping: A Review of Benchmark Analyses for Wildlife Density Estimation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Camera traps have become an important research tool for both conservation biologists and wildlife managers. Recent advances in spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) methods have increasingly put camera traps at the forefront of population ...

Many Stayers, Few Movers: Seasonal and Sex‐Based Movement Patterns in an Endangered Forest‐Dwelling Salamander

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated individual and population‐level spatial ecology in the forest specialist Salamandrina perspicillata, assessing spatial displacements, movement rates, home ranges and population density across sexes and seasons. Our results unravel a movement system characterised by many highly sedentary individuals and few relatively mobile ones (many ...

Catwalk: Leopards Persist at Moderate Densities While Exhibiting Temporal Segregation From Humans in Telangana's Boath Range

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Temporal overlap between male leopards and female leopards in Ajjar‐Wajjar Forest Block, Adilabad District, Telangana, India. ABSTRACT Large carnivores, such as leopards (Panthera pardus), are critical for the structure and function of ecosystems but are declining across much of their range.

Spatially explicit capture–recapture models for relative density

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) methods are used widely to estimate animal population density and related parameters. Maximum likelihood has been applied to two flavors of the SECR model—a full model that includes absolute density as a spatially varying parameter, and a model conditional on the number of detected individuals that ...
