Recovery of large carnivores in Europe’s modern human-dominated landscapes

Guillaume Chapron, +79 more
- 19 Dec 2014 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predators and people: conservation of large carnivores is possible at high human densities if management policy is favourable

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the hypothesis that large carnivores can persist at high human densities when the management regime is more favourable and found no clear relationship between present carnivore distribution and human population density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recolonizing carnivores and naïve prey: Conservation lessons from pleistocene extinctions

TL;DR: The fact that at least one prey species quickly learns to be wary of restored carnivores should negate fears about localized prey extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI

New perspectives in diet analysis based on DNA barcoding and parallel pyrosequencing: the trnL approach

TL;DR: This work demonstrated that this new method for species identification using universal primers that amplify a very short but informative DNA fragment can be applied for diet analyses of a wide range of phytophagous species at large scales and is efficient for mammals, birds, insects and molluscs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating Population Size of Elusive Animals with DNA from Hunter-Collected Feces: Four Methods for Brown Bears

TL;DR: The population size of elusive animals can be estimated reliably over large areas with noninvasive genetic methods, but the importance of an adequate and well-distributed sampling effort is stressed, especially in cases of biased sampling.
