Connectivity is a central concept in ecology, wildlife management, and conservation
science. Understanding the role of connectivity in determining species persistence is …

Mitigating human-caused mortality for large carnivores is a pressing global challenge for
wildlife conservation. However, mortality is almost exclusively studied at local (within …

Predation on ungulates exposes large predators to conflicts with farmers and hunters if they
kill livestock and shared game species. Therefore, it is crucial to know the drivers of …

Genetic diversity underpins the ability of populations to persist and adapt to environmental
changes. Substantial empirical data show that genetic diversity rapidly deteriorates in small …

Although detrimental genetic processes are known to adversely affect the viability of
populations, little is known about how detrimental genetic processes in a keystone species …

Habitat loss is the greatest threat to large carnivores around the world. Maintenance of
functional connectivity in fragmented landscapes is important for long-term species …

The importance of examining multiple hierarchical levels when modeling resource use for
wildlife has been acknowledged for decades. Multi-level resource selection functions have …

Abundant evidence supports the benefits accrued to the Florida panther (Puma concolor
coryi) population via the genetic introgression project implemented in South Florida, USA, in …

Extinction risk is elevated in small, isolated populations due to demographic and genetic
interactions. Therefore, it is critical to model these processes realistically in population …

More in-depth knowledge is required regarding the identification of priority conservation
sites (patches) to improve the efficiency of their protection in increasingly fragmented …
