Abstract:

Colombia embraces 7% of the Amazon basin, a worldwide conservation priority ecosystem, and most of it overlaps with indigenous territories. Some indigenous communities live inside protected areas and the impact of people in parks on biodiversity is uncertain. This work compares harvests measures hunting sustainability from indigenous people, prey species richness and carnivore density in a protected area and an unprotected area in Amazonia. Field data collection was collected for 14 months by recording hunting harvests from indigenous groups inside and outside Amacayacu National Park and camer

Abstract:

Managing wildlife in urban areas is increasingly necessary for wildlife conservation. Large carnivores like mountain lions (Puma concolor) present a particular challenge to managers because of public safety and the polarizing emotional reactions to human-lion encounters. Intensive development and conversion of large open spaces to small properties and subdivisions has caused increased habitat loss, fragmentation and encroachment. Preserving movement corridors for access to habitat patches is important in maintaining landscape connectivity to ensure viable populations adjacent to urban areas.

Abstract:

Many large carnivores are declining globally; most threatened or risk extinction due to a loss of habitat, resources, and direct removal; often the later as a result of conflict with humans. Although leopards and many meso-carnivore species are still free roaming in South Africa, few data are available on these species outside large protected areas as they are often elusive, wide ranging and found at low densities. More data are needed on the population dynamics, ecology and biology of species such as leopard, if we are to implement evidence-based approaches to their conservation within small

Abstract Rare and elusive species are difficult to study, because they are usually secretive, solitary, occur at low densities and have large home ranges.

Approximately half of the 180–220 Finnish wolverines are found in northern Finland within the reindeer management area. However, the other half of the population is distributed in eastern and central Finland, and the ecology of wolverines especially

Changes in the structure of the carnivore guild, and changes in the prey base that occurred during the study were used as natural experiments to examine factors affecting space use and diet.

Abstract:

Fear of predation can have a major impact on the behaviour of prey species. Despite recent codifying of the concept of the ecology of fear, there has been relatively little focus on how these ideas apply to large carnivore species which, although not prey sensu stricto, may experience fear as a result of threats from humans. This thesis argues that large mammalian carnivores are subject to a Landscape of Fear similar to that described for prey species, and will respond behaviourally to fear of human-caused mortality. The idea of a "Landscape of Coexistence" is introduced to denote the perceive

Shamwari Game Reserve was the first enclosed conservation area in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa to reintroduce free ranging lions, cheetahs, leopards and wild dogs back into their historic range. At that time (2000 – 2001), little information was available on the ecology and behaviour of these predators in the habitats of the Eastern Cape, and management decisions were based on assumptions and unfounded comparisons with extant populations but from quite different habitats. The aim of this study was therefore to obtain a better understanding of the feeding ecology and space use of t

Of the five extant tiger subspecies, the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae Pocock, 1929) is the most seriously threatened. Currently determined as Critically Endangered under IUCN criteria, the Sumatran tiger is likely to become extinct unless effective conservation measures are enacted.

Abstract:

Intraguild competition and predation have been recognised as important ecological factors influencing the population dynamics of carnivores. The effects of these interactions are often asymmetrical due to a size-related dominancy hierarchy. However, it has been suggested that competitively subordinate carnivores can minimise the costs of predation and competition through spatial and temporal avoidance. Here I investigate the ecological and behavioural mechanisms by which cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) coexist with competitively stronger lions (Panthera leo) and spotted hyaenas (Crocuta crocuta).

Abstract:

The well-known symbol for conservation, the giant panda bear, and the original red panda have been forced into remote habitats due to anthropogenic disturbance, making ecological study difficult. Therefore the first known species distribution model was created to predict the most likely areas of occurrence within the known range of these elusive animals. These models were then projected onto North America and evaluated against existing breeding programs. Additionally, the close proximity of the Gray Fossil Site and the discovery of the most complete fossil red panda specimens in the world allo

Abstract:

Praticamente todos os ecossistemas naturais têm sido afetados pelas atividades humanas. A construção de usinas hidrelétricas produz grandes impactos ambientais causando problemas notáveis como a fragmentação e perdas de habitats. No Brasil aproximadamente 70% da matriz energética é formada por hidrelétricas e há previsão de expansão nos próximos anos. A degradação ambiental é apontada como a principal ameaça à conservação da biodiversidade e a maior causa do declínio das populações de espécies ameaçadas, especialmente de grandes mamíferos e, particularmente, de grandes carnívoros. Apesar da am

Abstract:

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária<br>A avaliação de indicadores fisiológicos é cada vez mais importante na área da medicina e biologia da conservação, na medida em que pode refletir o estado de saúde e a condição fisiológica de indivíduos e populações, bem como traduzir a qualidade do habitat. Para que isto seja possível, é necessário estabelecer valores basais nas espécies de fauna silvestre que se pretende estudar. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi determinar valores fisiológicos basais de vários parâmetros hematológicos e de bioquímicas sanguíneas em carnívoros
