Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have become the preferred tool for estimating
densities of carnivores. Within this family of models are variants requiring identification of all …

Madagascar's native carnivorans are an endemic monophyletic group of eight extant
species belonging to the family Eupleridae. The International Union for Conservation of …

Large carnivores are important for maintaining ecosystem integrity and attract much
research and conservation interest. For most carnivore species, estimating population …

The conservation of animal populations often requires the estimation of population size. Low
density and secretive behaviour usually determine scarce data sources and hampers …

Population declines and extirpations of large mammalian carnivores are major concerns for
global biodiversity conservation. Many large carnivores are vulnerable to conflict with …

The proliferation of forest edges and invasive predators have been identified as two primary
threats to carnivore populations globally. These threats often occur in unison, facilitated by …

Density estimates are integral to wildlife management, but they can be costly to obtain.
Indices of density may provide efficient alternatives, but calibration is needed to ensure the …

Camera traps (CTs), used in conjunction with capture–mark–recapture analyses (CMR;
photo‐CMR), are a valuable tool for estimating abundances of rare and elusive wildlife …

Large‐bodied mammals living in fragmented habitats are at higher risk of extinction, and
such risk can be influenced by ecological factors such as predator–prey system dynamics …

Background Few animal populations have been studied under the framework of the OCBIL
theory, which addresses the ecology and evolution of biodiversity on old climatically …
