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 authors made the first assessment of wolf-dog hybridisation (WDH) occurrence in Europe and analyzed how the phenomenon is addressed by international legislation and managed at the country level.

TL;DR: Methods based on statistical analysis of probabilistic distributions of scientific terms in texts are discussed and the results of experimental evaluation of proposed algorithms and procedures over real-world data are reported.

TL;DR: The transparent concept of identification cloud is introduced as a means to represent the semantics of scientific terms stochastic distributions over publication texts in order to address the problem of automatic keywords assignment to scientific publications.
