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/s10531-017-1329-5
Abstract: In the last decades, populations of large carnivores have been making a spectacular return, especially in the USA and Western Europe. These population recoveries result partially from protective legislation and reintroduction programs, but possibly also… read more here.

When pork is not on the menu: Assessing trophic competition between large carnivores and poachers

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.02.032
Abstract: Abstract Overexploitation of wildlife for meat is a widespread phenomenon, which drives populations of many species toward extinction and may in turn affect large carnivores. Therefore, human hunters may compete with large carnivores over food… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108668
Abstract: Abstract Decision-making about large carnivores is complex and controversial, and processes vary from deliberation and expert analysis to ballot boxes and courtrooms. Decision-makers range from neighboring landowners to the United Nations. Efficacy, longevity and legitimacy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2019.e00837
Abstract: Abstract The ecological threshold concept describes how changes in one or more factors at thresholds can result in a large shift in the state of an ecosystem. This concept focuses attention on limiting factors that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-48742-9
Abstract: Domestic dogs are the most abundant large carnivore on the planet, and their ubiquity has led to concern regarding the impacts of dogs as predators of and competitors with native wildlife. If native large carnivores… read more here.

Generalization of threats attributed to large carnivores in areas of high human–wildlife conflict

DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13974
Abstract: Fear‐induced generalization of threats to noninimical stimuli is a behavioral tendency of humans to minimize exposure to potential threats. In human–carnivore conflict zones, people often generalize their fear of predation by obligate carnivores to nonobligate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0280420
Abstract: Interspecific interactions can be a key driver of habitat use, and must be accounted for in conservation planning. However, spatial partitioning between African carnivores, and how this varies with scale, remains poorly understood. Furthermore, most… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su13084482
Abstract: Social conflicts around large carnivores are increasing in Europe, often associated to the species expansion into human-modified and agricultural landscapes. Large carnivores can be seen as an added value by some but as a source… read more here.
