Lion (Panthera leo) populations are declining rapidly across Africa, except in intensively managed areas
We compiled all credible repeated lion surveys and present time series data for 47 lion
(Panthera leo) populations. We used a Bayesian state space model to estimate growth rate …

The performance of African protected areas for lions and their prey
Using surveys of experts associated with 186 sites across 24 countries, we assessed the
effectiveness of African protected areas (PAs) at conserving lions and their prey, identified …

Occurrence dynamics of mammals in protected tropical forests respond to human presence and activities
Protected areas (PAs) play a vital role in wildlife conservation. Nonetheless there is concern
and uncertainty regarding how and at what spatial scales anthropogenic stressors influence …

Long-term turtle declines: protected is a verb, not an outcome
Long-term studies on wildlife populations are necessary to track population abundance and
shifts in demography over time, yet such studies are difficult to plan, fund, and conduct and …

Big cats at large: Density, structure, and spatio‐temporal patterns of a leopard population free of anthropogenic mortality
Human impact is near pervasive across the planet and studies of wildlife populations free of
anthropogenic mortality are increasingly scarce. This is particularly true for large carnivores …
