Abstract Large carnivores are controversial species, and associated conflicts between stakeholders with opposing views on large observed across the globe. Social trust, public’s willingness to rely those responsible for developing policies, has gained much attention regarding acceptance of carnivore management. However, trust in science not received as consideration. In Norway, administrative m...

Carnivore conservation translocations are assumed to provide numerous ecological benefits, including of the translocated carnivores, regulation prey species and restoration ecosystems. Reviews mammalian carnivore resultant ecosystem effects have focussed on large carnivores. We reviewed global terrestrial across all taxa, taxonomic bias, problems influencing their population establishment effec...

The realized effect of multiple carnivores on juvenile ungulate recruitment may depend on the carnivore assemblage as well as compensation from forage and winter weather severity, which may mediate juvenile vulnerability to predation in ungulates. We used a time-to-event approach to test for the effects of risk factors on annual elk (Cervus canadensis) calf survival and to estimate cause-specif...

A total of 150 rectal swab samples were collected from diarrheic dogs the Sivas Municipal Animal Shelter, Turkey in April 2018. While 127 faecal gathered adults, 23 puppies. Canine parvovirus type 2 (Carnivore protoparvovirus 1), minute virus bocaparvovirus 1) and bocavirus 2) examined by PCR with three sets novel primers. Some amplicons subjected to molecular sequencing analysis. Three (2.36%)...

BACKGROUND The range, population size and trend of large carnivores are important parameters to assess their status globally and to plan conservation strategies. One can use linear models to assess population size and trends of large carnivores from track-based surveys on suitable substrates. The conventional approach of a linear model with intercept may not intercept at zero, but may fit the d...
