DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.08.031
Abstract: Abstract Poaching may threaten population viability and can occur in both non-harvested and legally harvested populations. Telemetry facilitates the determination of the fates of individual animals, and the resultant mortality scenarios can be used to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/conl.12812
Abstract: Large carnivores are currently recolonizing Europe following legal protection, but increased mortality in landscapes highly impacted by humans may limit further population expansion. We analyzed mortality and disappearance rates of 35 wolves (of which three… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su13179783
Abstract: Large carnivores are essential components of natural ecosystems. In populated areas, their conservation depends on preserving a favorable status in coexistence with humans, which may require the elimination of excess carnivores to minimize public concerns.… read more here.
