Complexities of conflict: the importance of considering social factors for effectively resolving human–wildlife conflictAbstract Human–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... ...

Predators and people: using human densities to interpret declines of large carnivoresAbstract The 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 re... ...

The sleeping policeman: understanding issues of enforcement and compliance in conservationAbstract Rules 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, ... ...

Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defensesAbstract Innate 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, Batra... ...

Role of human population size in raising bird and mammal threat among nationsAbstract It 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 bird... ...

Crucial importance of pack size in the African wild dog Lycaon pictusAbstract Although 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 ant... ...

Having your wildlife and eating it too: an analysis of hunting sustainability across tropical ecosystemsAbstract Unsustainable 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... ...

Population monitoring of snow leopards using noninvasive collection of scat samples: a pilot studyAbstract The endangered snow leopardPanthera uncia occurs 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 genet... ...

Considering the temporal when managing the spatial: a population range expansion impacts protected areas‐based management for bottlenose dolphinsAbstract Management 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 co... ...
