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 article, the authors used telemetry data from 11 females with cubs-of-the-year (FWC) from southern and central Europe and 15 FWC from Sweden to determine the likelihood that observations were of the same FWC based on the distance moved and elapsed time period.

TL;DR: In this article, radio-tracking data from four projects with 42 individual bears was compiled to assess habitat suitability, and three different approaches were used to predict habitats suitability across the entire range of the Eastern Alps: discrete-choice models with random bear effects, compositional analysis and logistic regression.

TL;DR: Two females gave birth at the age of 3 years in an introduced population in central Austria, documenting 2 cases of unusually early primiparity in brown bears.
