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

Rescue of a Severely Bottlenecked Wolf (Canis Lupus) Population by a Single Immigrant

TL;DR: It is shown here that the genetic diversity of the severely bottlenecked and geographically isolated Scandinavian population of grey wolves (Canis lupus), founded by only two individuals, was recovered by the arrival of a single immigrant.
Journal ArticleDOI

The recovery, distribution, and population dynamics of wolves on the Scandinavian peninsula, 1978-1998

TL;DR: Simulation of population growth based on known reproductions and mortalities showed a close similarity to the results from population censuses up to the mid-1990s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shoot, shovel and shut up: cryptic poaching slows restoration of a large carnivore in Europe

TL;DR: It is shown that rigorous estimates of the effects of poaching relative to other sources of mortality can be obtained with a hierarchical state–space model combined with multiple sources of data and should be revised by including and quantifying cryptic poaching.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe inbreeding depression in a wild wolf (Canis lupus) population

TL;DR: In a small, naturally restored, wild population of grey wolves in Scandinavia, founded in 1983, a pedigree for 24 of the 28 breeding pairs established in the period 1983–2002 is constructed, corresponding to 6.04 litter-size-reducing equivalents in this wolf population.
