Ecologically justified charisma: preservation of top predators delivers biodiversity conservation

TL;DR: It is suggested that, at least in some biological systems, conservation plans based on apex predators could be implemented to deliver broader biodiversity benefits, and biodiversity levels were consistently higher at sites occupied by top predators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial refugia and the coexistence of a diurnal raptor with its intraguild owl predator

TL;DR: Overall, kites responded to predation risk through predator spatial avoidance, being concentrated in interstitial predationrefugia bordering the core home range of owl pairs, and kite density and productivity were related to a complex interaction of IGP risk and food abundance, and were probably shaped by a mixture of top-down and bottom-up effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brown bear attacks on humans: a worldwide perspective

Giulia Bombieri, +79 more
- 12 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: Brown bear attacks on humans between 2000 and 2015 across most of the range inhabited by the species were investigated, and attacks have increased significantly over time and were more frequent at high bear and low human population densities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive selection of foraging and nesting habitat by black kites (Milvus migrans) and its implications for conservation: a multi-scale approach

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate selection of foraging and breeding habitat in a high-priority population in the Italian pre-Alps and find that black kites foraged preferentially near water, over extensively managed grassland and within 1 km of nest-sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrocution alters the distribution and density of a top predator, the eagle owl Bubo bubo

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of electrocution in two eagle owl Bubo bubo populations located in the Italian Alps and Apennines and subject to different levels of electioxution risk (i.e. low and high risk) was investigated.
