Integrating human acceptance into habitat suitability models for snow leopards in northern Bhutan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat suitability models are commonly used to assess the potential distribution of large carnivores by identifying ecologically favourable areas. However, these models often overlook human dimensions, such as conflict and acceptance, which can lead to overestimation of species ranges and a mismatch between predicted and actual distributions.

Pastoralist views and positions on coexistence with large carnivores. An overview from conflict areas across Europe

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract While large carnivore expansion is a conservation success, it increasingly challenges pastoralism. Beyond economic value, pastoralism provides critical biodiversity and sociocultural benefits, recognized by the UN and the EU's ‘High Nature Value farming’ designation.

Sharing landscapes with wildlife: Conflict and coexistence between high nature value pastoral systems and large carnivores

People and Nature, EarlyView.

Yet these systems are currently under significant pressure from a range of economic, social and environmental ...

Cameras do not always take a full picture: wolf activity patterns revealed by accelerometers versus road‐positioned camera traps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...
