TL;DR: It is shown that roughly one-third of mainland Europe hosts at least one large carnivore species, with stable or increasing abundance in most cases in 21st-century records, and coexistence alongside humans has become possible, argue the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, an expert based update of the conservation status of all populations identified by the Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe (LCIE), available in the document “Guidelines for Population Level Management Plans for Large carnivores” (Linnell et al. 2008) and/or in the various Species Online Information Systems (http://www.lcie.kora.ch/sp‐ois/ ; also see Appendix 1).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed some refinements of the ecological-niche factor analysis (ENFA) to describe precisely one organism's habitat selection, based on the concept of ecological niche, and provided a measure of the realised niche within the available space from the computation of two parameters, the marginality and the specialization.

TL;DR: This work developed multievent capture-recapture models for an open population and proposed an associated estimator of population size that both account for individual detection heterogeneity (IDH) and considered a two-class mixture model with weakly and highly detectable individuals to account for IDH.

TL;DR: This review explains the main concepts of stochastic dynamic programming and provides useful guidelines to implement this technique, including R code, using a wildlife management problem of the French wolf population.
