DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9310
Abstract: Abstract Animals exhibit variation in their space and time use across an urban–rural gradient. As the top‐down influences of apex predators wane due to human‐driven declines, landscape‐level anthropogenic pressures are rising. Human impacts can be… read more here.

Indirect costs of sheep depredation by large carnivores in Sweden
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Wildlife Society Bulletin"
DOI: 10.1002/wsb.951
Abstract: Carnivore depredation gives rise to direct costs for killed and injured animals as well as indirect costs due to productivity losses and additional labor requirements. Our aim was to investigate indirect costs to sheep farmers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-020-02831-2
Abstract: While constrained by endogenous rhythms, morphology and ecology, animals may still exhibit flexible activity patterns in response to risk. Temporal avoidance of interspecific aggression can enable access to resources without spatial exclusion. Apex predators, including… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-019-00428-3
Abstract: Recent carnivore distributions in eastern Pakistan are poorly documented. In an effort to fill knowledge gaps, we combined field and laboratory molecular approaches to identify the large- and mid-sized mammalian carnivores in Murree, Kotli Sattian,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00592
Abstract: Abstract Human-carnivore conflict is a leading cause of large carnivore declines and minimizing these conflicts is vital to maintaining viable carnivore populations. Often, however, conservation agencies and governments do not have a proper understanding of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2018.08.037
Abstract: Abstract Bone modifications are associated with a broad range of agents, including carnivores, stone tools, sediments, etc., and can be categorized as one of two types: conspicuous or inconspicuous. Contrary to the larger, more easily… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2018.02.005
Abstract: ABSTRACT Predation on domestic animals by carnivores is a persistent problem wherever carnivores and livestock co-occur. A wide range of management tools to reduce predation has been invoked. However, the evidence of their effectiveness is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10871209.2020.1731633
Abstract: ABSTRACT Large carnivores are prioritized in conservation, but their co-occurrence with humans and domestic animals can generate conflict. Interventions preventing carnivore attacks are central to carnivore conservation, but are only effective if implemented. This study… read more here.
