All carnivores are not equal in the rural people's view. Should we develop conservation plans for functional guilds or individual species in the face of conflicts?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Assessing incidental bycatch of seabirds in Norwegian coastal commercial fisheries: Empirical and methodological lessons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)With diminishing seabird populations and little knowledge on incidental bycatch in fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic, this study aimed to screen seabird bycatch in Norwegian coastal fisheries in 2009. The purpose was ... -
Behavioural and demographic changes in impala populations after 15 years of improved conservation management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Many protected areas (PAs) have been created globally in response to the dramatic human- induced decline in biodiversity. However, not all PAs successfully preserve their biodiversity and continued monitoring is vital to ... -
Challenges for transboundary management of a European
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Pan-European legislation stimulates international cooperation to overarching challenges of large carnivore management across jurisdictions. We present an analysis for current transboundary brown bear (Ursus arctos) ... -
Do birds respond to spiral markers on overhead wires of a high-voltage power line? Insights from a dedicated avian radar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Growing human population demands the expansion of the energy transmission grid. Power lines represent a major death hazard for many species, especially birds. Addressing such a human-wildlife conflict requires detailed ... -
Fire and herbivory shape soil arthropod communities through habitat heterogeneity and nutrient cycling in savannas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Soil arthropods are important components of savannas, contributing to nutrient cycling and thus primary productivity. To investigate how fire and mammalian herbivores influ- ence arthropod food webs, we used two long term ... -
Hunters as citizen scientists: Contributions to biodiversity monitoring in Europe
(Journal article, 2020)Monitoring biodiversity characteristics at large scales and with adequate resolution requires considerable effort and resources. Overall, there is clearly a huge scope for European hunters, a special and often overlooked ... -
Living with human encroachment: Status and distribution of Green Peafowl in northern stronghold of Thailand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Green Peafowl have declined significantly across much of their historical range mostly due to habitat loss and degradation following intensive agricultural expansion, logging and infrastructure development. In Thailand, ... -
Local perceptions of jaguar conservation and environmental justice in Goiás, Matto Grosso and Roraima states (Brazil)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Wildlife conservation often leads to various conflicts with other human activities, resulting in concerns about the justice of conservation. Although species' protection e notably of large carnivores e can have negative ... -
Long-term decline in nest survival of a ground-nesting shorebird on a tropical island
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tropical islands harbour a disproportionally high number of endemic species, which face increasing threats due to habitat loss, disturbance and introduced alien predators. Long-term demographic studies are needed to ... -
Long-term genetic monitoring of a reintroduced Eurasian lynx population does not indicate an ongoing loss of genetic diversity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Where reintroduced wildlife populations are considered as vulnerable this is generally due to limited founder size and isolation. While many of these populations show low levels of genetic diversity, little is known ... -
Low-intensive agricultural landscapes could help to sustain Green Peafowl Pavo muticus inhabiting surrounding forest patches in Northern Thailand
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Wildlife in Southeast Asia is greatly affected by agricultural expansion. While intensive farming causes biodiversity decline, low-intensive farming can support some adapted wildlife. In Thailand, the rapid transformation ... -
Multiple paternity promotes genetic diversity in captive breeding of a freshwater mussel
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Captive breeding can be an important supplement to habitat restoration in the Conservation of threatened species. Careful choice of breeding regimes and genetic monitoring are essential to maintain genetic integrity and ... -
The return of large carnivores: Using hunter observation data to understand the role of predators on ungulate populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Large carnivores play a key ecological role in nature, yet quantifying the effects of predation at large spatiotemporal scales remains challenging. Wolves and brown bears have recovered in Sweden, where they share the same ... -
A synthesis of multi-taxa management experiments to guide forest biodiversity conservation in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Most European forests are used for timber production. Given the limited extent of unmanaged (and especially primary) forests, it is essential to include commercial forests in the conservation of forest biodiversity. ... -
Walking on the Dark Side: Anthropogenic Factors Limit Suitable Habitat for Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) in a Large Natural Area Covering Belarus and Ukraine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Due to successful conservation initiatives and legislations, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) is re-colonising its historic range in Europe. However, wolves have never been extirpated across large areas in Eastern Europe but ... -
Wild versus domestic prey: Variation in the kill-site behavior of two large felids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Livestock depredation is an important source of conflict for many terrestrial large carnivore species. Understanding the foraging behavior of large carnivores on domestic prey is therefore important for both mitigating ...
