Mammalian predator and prey responses to recreation and land use across multiple scales provide limited support for the human shield hypothesis
Outdoor recreation is widespread, with uncertain effects on wildlife. The human shield
hypothesis (HSH) suggests that recreation could have differential effects on predators and …
