Complexities of conflict: the importance of considering social factors for effectively resolving human–wildlife conflict
Tập 13 Số 5 - Trang 458-466 - 2010
AbstractHuman–wildlife conflict is one of the most critical threats facing many
wildlife species today, and the topic is receiving increasing attention from
conservation biologists. Direct wildlife damage is commonly cited as the main
driver of conflict, and many tools exist for reducing such damage. However,
significant conflict often remains even after damage has been reduced,
suggesting that co...
Predators and people: using human densities to interpret declines of large carnivores
Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 165-173 - 2000
AbstractThe current extinction crisis is caused primarily by human impacts upon
wild populations. Large carnivores are especially sensitive to human activity;
because their requirements often conflict with those of local people, predators
have been actively persecuted in most regions of the world. In this paper, the
impact of people upon predators is analysed by relating local carnivore
extinction...
The sleeping policeman: understanding issues of enforcement and compliance in conservation
Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 75-82 - 2008
AbstractRules governing human behaviour are at the heart of every system of
natural resource management. Without compliance, however, rules are meaningless
so effective enforcement is essential if conservation is to be successful. There
is a large body of theory concerning enforcement and compliance with rules
spread over several disciplines, including psychology, economics and sociology.
However,...
Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defenses
Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 409-417 - 2007
AbstractInnate immune mechanisms of defense are especially important to
ectothermic vertebrates in which adaptive immune responses may be slow to
develop. One innate defense in amphibian skin is the release of abundant
quantities of antimicrobial peptides. Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious
disease of amphibians caused by the skin fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
Susceptibility to c...
Role of human population size in raising bird and mammal threat among nations
Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 45-57 - 2001
AbstractIt is commonly held that species loss is linked to human population size
but there are surprisingly few quantitative studies that measure the strength
and nature of this linkage. In a study of about 150 nations, a highly
significant positive relationship (P << 0.01) was found between population size
and threat levels of birds and mammals. For continental nations, log population
explains 16...
Crucial importance of pack size in the African wild dog Lycaon pictus
Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 169-174 - 2001
AbstractAlthough the massive organized slaughter of African wild dogs, Lycaon
pictus, largely ended several decades ago, this endangered canid continues to
decline and faces extinction. Several lines of evidence suggest that this arises
from obligate cooperative breeding, which makes Lycaon more sensitive to
anthropogenic mortality. A number of behaviours in this species are
characterized by a rel...
Having your wildlife and eating it too: an analysis of hunting sustainability across tropical ecosystems
Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang 397-408 - 2004
AbstractUnsustainable hunting of wildlife or bushmeat for human consumption
across the tropics threatens both wildlife populations and the livelihoods of
people who depend on these resources. The probability that hunting can be
sustainable depends in part on ecological conditions that affect the ‘supply’ of
and ‘demand’ for wildlife resources. In this study, supply is estimated across a
number of ...
Feral pigs facilitate hyperpredation by golden eagles and indirectly cause the decline of the island fox

Population monitoring of snow leopards using noninvasive collection of scat samples: a pilot study
Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 401-411 - 2008
AbstractThe endangered snow leopardPanthera unciaoccurs in rugged, high‐altitude
regions of Central Asia. However, information on the status of this felid is
limited in many areas. We conducted a pilot study to optimize moecular markers
for the analysis of snow leopard scat samples and to examine the feasibility of
using noninvasive genetic methods for monitoring this felid. We designed snow
leopa...
Considering the temporal when managing the spatial: a population range expansion impacts protected areas‐based management for bottlenose dolphins
Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang 331-338 - 2004
AbstractManagement of marine species has increasingly focused on key site
protection. Initiatives to protect bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus,
under the EU Habitats Directive reflect this trend. The boundaries of the Moray
Firth candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) were intended to include the
main Scottish population's core range, following research conducted in the 1980s
and earl...
