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 Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management established recommended protocols for capture, chemical immobilization, anesthesia and radiotagging of free-ranging brown bears (Ursus arctos), gray wolves (Canis lupus), wolverines (Gulo gulo) and Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx).

TL;DR: Bayesian analysis and subsequent assessment of individual relationships suggest that immigrants from northern Scandinavia have contributed and still contribute to the southern Norwegian gene pool, counteracting genetic erosion and reducing the risk of inbreeding depression.

TL;DR: A composite of MODIS classified satellite images representing persistent snow cover from 24 April to 15 May, which encompasses the end of the wolverine’s reproductive denning period, is developed and interpolated temperature maps are used to investigate the wolves’ spatial relationship with average maximum August temperatures.
