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: The extent of the issue and concrete mitigation measures are proposed to reduce effective population size and cause mortality and obstruct access to seasonally important resources.

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the role of humans in breeding site selection by a large carnivore, and the results suggest a scaled hierarchical habitat selection process across selection orders by which wolves compensate higher exposure risk to humans within their territories via a stronger selection at breeding sites.

TL;DR: A simple approach of using a single well-studied reference population as a ‘yardstick’ to calibrate results of different studies to the same scale, enabling comparisons of genetic diversity estimates between previously incompatible studies is proposed.
