Shepherds' perception of the effectiveness and feasibility of herd protection measures against wolf predation in Lower Saxony, Germany

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assessed shepherds' attitudes toward wolves and their perceptions of herd protection measures. Negative views were common among hobby shepherds and those affected by surplus killings, while professional and part‐time shepherds, especially those with minor attack experiences, held more neutral or positive attitudes.

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

ABSTRACT The seabob shrimp (Xiphopenaeus spp.) is a primary fishery resource in Brazil, with considerable economic and social importance along the coast. While environmental drivers of its life cycle are well‐documented for southeastern and southern populations, the factors modulating populations in the Eastern Brazilian Shelf remain poorly understood,

Exploring the exploration: implications of leaving or remaining at the natal site during the early stages of independence in a partially migratory bird

Ibis, EarlyView.
Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.
