Overall, the effect of the reserve was positive, but edge effects reduced reserve effectiveness by 36%.

Edge effects and the impact of non‐protected areas in carnivore conservation: leopards in the Phinda–Mkhuze Complex, South Africa

It is shown that high mortality rates of carnivores in areas bordering reserves can extend to protected populations, and management approaches that control human activities on both sides of administrative borders are essential if reserves are to conserve large carnivores effectively.

Lion and spotted hyena distributions within a buffer area of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem

It is suggested that reduced lion and hyena abundance near human settlements was in response to depleted prey, due to human actions, and recommended ecologically compatible land uses and effective border patrols to mitigate these adverse effects.

The landscape of anthropogenic mortality: how African lions respond to spatial variation in risk

SummaryDemography and conservation status of many wild organisms are increasingly shaped by interactions with humans. This is particularly the case for large, wide-ranging carnivores.Using 206…

Domestic dogs as an edge effect in the Brasília National Park, Brazil: interactions with native mammals

There is no support for the possible existence of a feral dog population inside the Brasília National Park, but the effects of free‐ranging dogs on the wildlife population in such an isolated protected area must not be neglected.

A biodiversity hotspot losing its top predator: The challenge of jaguar conservation in the Atlantic Forest of South America

The jaguar is the top predator of the Atlantic Forest, which is a highly threatened biodiversity hotspot that occurs in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, and by combining data sets from 14 research groups across the region, the population status is determined and a spatial prioritization for conservation actions is proposed.

Spatial organization and demography of badgers (Meles meles) in Bialowieza Primeval Forest, Poland, and the influence of earthworms on badger densities in Europe

It is proposed that the standing crop of biomass of earthworms (Lumbricus spp.), the main food of badger in a large part of their geographic range, and mean annual temperature are crucial factors shaping the densities of badgers in the European temperate and boreal zones.

ASSESSING THE RISK OF EXTINCTION FOR THE BROWN BEAR (URSUS ARCTOS) IN THE CORDILLERA CANTABRICA, SPAIN

A specially constructed simulation model, based on long-term field investigations on the western brown bear population in the Cordillera Cantabrica, includes detailed life history data and information on environmental variations in food abundance.

The demography of a high-density badger (Meles meles) population in the west of England

Data from the longest running capture-mark-recapture study of Eurasian badgers, in an undisturbed wild population at Woodchester Park in Gloucestershire, were used to investigate population dynamics and supported previous studies in that the population had an equal sex ratio as cubs, but became increasingly female biased with age.

Niche relations among three sympatric Mediterranean carnivores

It is proposed that foxes avoided lynxes by using, during activity, habitats not frequented by lynxes, and that a low predation risk associated with the distinctive foraging mode of badgers may facilitate its coexistence with other carnivores.

Space use and activity in a mediterranean population of badgers Meles meles

Activity, spatial ecology, and pattern of sett use of a mediterranean population of badgers Meles meles Linnaeus, 1758 are described, and it is suggested that badgers might set territory limits to include enough patches of rabbit burrows in the critical summer period of low rabbit abundance.
