Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Seasonal Dynamics of Resource Availability and Human Presence Shape Habitat Use of Large Carnivores in Chad

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seasonal variation in resource availability and human activity can strongly influence large carnivore space use, yet these dynamics remain poorly documented in Central African savannas. Using dry and wet season camera‐trap surveys in Zakouma National Park, Chad, we show that prey availability drives carnivore space use in the dry season, and that ...

Minimal impact of spotted hyenas on livestock and endangered species in a prey‐rich ecosystem

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
The diet of large carnivores is of great interest to conservation managers, as it can reveal the extent of human–carnivore conflict and the impact of carnivores on species of high conservation priority. Metabarcoding of environmental DNA can identify species and is often more reliable than observational or morphological methods, particularly when it ...

Are giraffes pollinators or flower predators of Acacia nigrescens in Kruger National Park, South Africa? [PDF]

, 2006
We examined the relationship between giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) and Acacia nigrescens in Kruger National Park, South Africa, to determine whether these tall ungulates may be providing a pollination service for the trees, or are simply flower ...

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 235-248, June 2026.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Star formation across the galaxy : observations and modelling of the spectral energy distributions of young stars [PDF]

, 2009
In the last few decades, the emergence of large-scale infrared surveys has led to a revolution in the study of star formation. In particular, NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has recently carried out mid- and far-infrared observations of numerous star ...

A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris disc stars. III. First statistics based on 42 stars observed with CHARA/FLUOR [PDF]

, 2013
peer reviewedContext. Dust is expected to be ubiquitous in extrasolar planetary systems due to the dynamical activity of minor bodies. Inner dust populations are, however, still poorly known due to the high contrast and small angular separation with ...

Magnetic fields in A stars besides Ap stars

, 2014
I review ongoing efforts to understand the incidence of magnetism in intermediate-mass stars that are different from the magnetic Ap stars. This includes the search for magnetic fields in chemically peculiar stars of the Am and HgMn types as well as in ...
