Himalayan wolf foraging ecology and the importance of wild prey

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Carnivore predation on livestock and game species leads to human-carnivore conflict. Thus, understanding the foraging ecology of threatened carnivores is important for conservation planning.

Management of wolf and lynx conflicts with human interests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In many areas viable populations of large carnivores are political goals. One of the most important factors in order to achieve viable large carnivore populations is human tolerance for presence of large carnivores.

Anaplasmataceae in wild ungulates and carnivores in northern Spain

open access: yesTicks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016
Wild vertebrates are essential hosts for tick-borne diseases but data on the prevalence and diversity of Anaplasma spp. in wildlife are scarce. In this study, we used real-time PCR to investigate the distribution of Anaplasma species in spleen samples collected from 625 wild animals (137 cervids, 227 wild boar, and 261 carnivores) in two regions in ...

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Risk-driven behaviour in the African leopard:how is leopard behaviour mediated by lion presence? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Agricultural expansion is restricting many carnivore species to smaller tracts of land, potentially forcing increased levels of overlap between competitors by constraining spatial partitioning.

Tourist sightings improve the precision of camera trap‐derived density estimates using spatial capture‐recapture models

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine tourist‐contributed images with camera trap‐based monitoring data to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population densities using multi‐session spatial capture–recapture models. We show that incorporating tourist observations improves precision and yields an overall density estimate of 7.02 leopards per 100 km2, while ...

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

open access: yesRemote 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 ...
