TL;DR: A cumulative measure of human modification of terrestrial lands based on modeling the physical extents of 13 anthropogenic stressors and their estimated impacts using spatially explicit global datasets with a median year of 2016 suggests that most of the world is in a state of intermediate modification and moderately modified ecoregions warrant elevated attention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on conifer encroachment threats to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and demonstrate an approach that links species demographics with attributes of conservation threats to inform targeting of investments.

TL;DR: This work used a system where human-black bear conflicts were common, to experimentally test the efficacy of education and enforcement in altering human behavior to better secure attractants (garbage) from bears, and demonstrated the value of gathering evidence before and after implementing conservation actions.

TL;DR: It is suggested that bear use of urban areas is reversible and fluctuates with the availability of natural food resources, and that removal of urban individuals in times of food failures has the potential to negatively affect bear populations.

TL;DR: Considering that bear–human conflicts in Colorado increased over time and will likely continue to increase, it is suggested wildlife managers improve data collection by obtaining detailed location data, categorizing conflict types uniformly, and applying conflict regulations consistently to strengthen inference of similar analyses.
