Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

Large herbivores and carnivores (the megafauna) have been in a state of decline and
extinction since the Late Pleistocene, both on land and more recently in the oceans. Much …

Invasive species threaten biodiversity globally, and invasive mammalian predators are
particularly damaging, having contributed to considerable species decline and extinction …

Background The largest terrestrial species in the order Carnivora are wide-ranging and rare
because of their positions at the top of food webs. They are some of the world's most …

The fear large carnivores inspire, independent of their direct killing of prey, may itself cause
cascading effects down food webs potentially critical for conserving ecosystem function …

Interactions among terrestrial carnivores involve a complex interplay of competition,
predation and facilitation via carrion provisioning, and these negative and positive pathways …

Large carnivores are persecuted globally because they threaten human industries and
livelihoods. How this conflict is managed has consequences for the conservation of large …

Arguments for the need to conserve aquatic predator (AP) populations often focus on the
ecological and socioeconomic roles they play. Here, we summarize the diverse ecosystem …

Extensive evidence shows that regional (gamma) diversity is often lower across restored
landscapes than in reference landscapes, in part due to common restoration practices that …

Aim Predators often have important roles in structuring ecosystems via their effects on each
other and on prey populations. However, these effects may be altered in the presence of …
