Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Relative influence of wild prey and livestock abundance on carnivore‐caused livestock predation

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Conservation conflict over livestock depredation is one of the key drivers of large mammalian carnivore declines worldwide. Mitigating this conflict requires strategies informed by reliable knowledge of factors influencing livestock depredation.

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

Where leopards die: identifying mortality hotspots in northern Pakistan

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The relevance of this work to conservation policy and practice is twofold. First, it offers concrete spatial insights that can directly inform the design of targeted mitigation strategies and proactive interventions. Second, it highlights the limitations of current protected area networks and underscores the urgent need to incorporate human‐dominated ...

Sympatric Distribution of Giant Pandas and Red Pandas in Sichuan Province: Habitat Overlap Patterns and Implications for the Giant Panda's Umbrella Effect

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study quantified habitat overlap between giant and red pandas in their sympatric range using the MaxEnt model, confirming a significant umbrella effect for the red panda. However, conservation gaps exist, as red pandas are more sensitive to high‐altitude areas (> 3200 m) and anthropogenic disturbance, requiring refined management strategies for ...

First photographic record of the snow leopard Panthera uncia in Kishtwar High Altitude National Park, Jammu and Kashmir, India

Oryx
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is categorized as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It is the least well-known of the large felids because of its shy and elusive nature and the inaccessible terrain it inhabits across the mountains of Central and South ...

A 26‐Year Record of Seasonality and Interannual Variability in Marine Mammal Sightings From Northern Marguerite Bay, Antarctica

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Whales and seals are an important and often conspicuous component of the Southern Ocean pelagic fauna but data from winter are very sparse. Six species remain in Marguerite Bay, Antarctica, year‐round while three are seasonal visitors. Humpback Whales are summer visitors and show a long‐term increase in sighting frequency together with an earlier ...
