Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.
