This study documents LGD–wildlife interactions in the southern Carpathian Mountains, Romania, where on average five to eight LGDs are used as part of a transhumance grazing system to protect sheep from bears and wolves. Thirteen shepherds were interviewed about their LGDs' behaviors and wildlife remains were identified in their LGDs' scats. All shepherds reported that their LGDs chased predators as well as other non-target wildlife. Seven reported wildlife had been injured or killed by their LGDs but these instances were said to be rare. Wildlife were found in 28% of the LGD scats but mostly consisted of insects with only 9% of scats containing vertebrate wildlife remains. The occurrence of LGD–wildlife interactions was not affected by the number of LGDs used together but did align with whether or not shepherds encouraged LGDs to chase non-target wildlife. These findings lend support to existing evidence that LGDs can be used as a conservation tool without substantial negative effects on wildlife when managed appropriately.","PeriodicalId":51337,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Science and Practice","volume":"7 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/csp2.70120","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145057832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also assessed the risks posed to these areas by habitat and connectivity loss due to impending dam construction, deforestation, and the lack of coverage by area-based conservation schemes. We found that 17% of the Amazon River Basin is covered by areas of high jaguar density and freshwater migratory species richness, 83% of which are found in Brazil and Peru. A third of these areas are located outside of formal protected areas or Indigenous territories, with Bolivia representing the largest gap in formal protection. The proposed construction of 54 hydroelectric dams and the expansion of deforestation poses an immediate threat to the habitats and connectivity of these areas.

Migratory shorebirds are experiencing population declines across their range; thus, effective monitoring is critical to understand drivers of migration chronologies, population dynamics, and biological response to restoration. In this study, we investigated how survey frequency may influence data uncertainty in migratory shorebird response to management actions at the Heʻeia National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR), where stewards are interested in the long-term impacts of decisions that affect three species of shorebirds: ʻAkekeke (Arenaria interpres); Kōlea (Pluvialis fulva); and ʻŪlili (Tringa incana). We co-developed a high-effort monitoring protocol with site partners and modeled how well reduced survey frequencies captured occupancy dynamics and the variability in species counts observed under our full protocol. We found no difference in relative accuracy between surveys made once and twice a month, indicating that person-hours spent monitoring at this site could be halved without exceeding acceptable uncertainty thresholds for long-term management. Shorebirds varied in their habitat preferences, suggesting that individual species preferences should be considered when restoring or protecting habitat for a mixed assemblage. While ʻAkekeke and ʻŪlili used tidally limited habitat, Kōlea were observed to be wide generalists occurring throughout the reserve boundaries. This study provides a model for a relatively low-investment strategy to inform survey design for monitoring low-abundance or seasonally variable species of management interest.","PeriodicalId":51337,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Science and Practice","volume":"7 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/csp2.70123","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145057976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mapping interface areas is essential for prioritizing disease surveillance, implementing mitigation measures, and developing targeted control programs to protect threatened wildlife. We used spatial overlays of habitat suitability to predict interface areas with high risk of pathogen transmission for three Thai wild bovids (gaur [Bos gaurus], banteng [Bos javanicus] and wild water buffalo [Bubalus arnee]) and domestic cattle. We assumed that domestic cattle are the reservoir of important bovine infectious diseases and that high cattle density is a proxy for a higher transmission risk. We calculated the interface inside and outside Thai protected areas and classified these by land use types. Then, we counted the number of bovine infectious disease occurrences reported in high-risk areas. Our study indicated that the highest risk areas for these species are at the forest edges where high habitat suitability and cattle densities overlap. Suitable habitats for wild water buffalo had the largest proportion of high-risk areas (9%), while gaur and banteng had similar risk areas (4%). Kuiburi National Park had the largest risk area (274 km2) for gaur and banteng, whereas the largest risk area for wild water buffalo overlapped with Huai Thabthan-Had Samran by 126 km2. Cropland and unclassified forests had the highest percentage of interface areas, indicating a higher risk of pathogen transmission. Our results highlight how habitat suitability analyses could help infectious disease prevention and control strategies and may also support wild bovid conservation initiatives.","PeriodicalId":51337,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Science and Practice","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/csp2.70111","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, determining when habitat is recovered is challenging. For terrestrial wildlife, habitat recovery often focuses on regenerating vegetation, but vegetation changes may provide limited insight as to whether and when habitat is recovered. To be effective as a conservation action, habitat recovery should be linked to demographic responses of the focal species. Moreover, we suggest that habitat recovery be linked to changes in the strength of mechanisms driving population decline. Here, we illustrate such a framework using boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), which are threatened by altered predator–prey dynamics stemming from habitat alteration. Monitoring habitat recovery is challenging for boreal caribou because demographic effects may take decades to manifest and the spatial scale for demographic monitoring is larger than typical disturbance features or restoration projects. To address these challenges, we propose a continuum of habitat recovery where interim, multi-scale indicators are linked to primary mechanisms underlying caribou population declines. Because habitat recovery varies geographically, indicators may need to be refined on a regional basis. Developing stronger inferences on recovery indicators will require adaptive management, where habitat recovery is implemented over larger spatial extents and longer timeframes.","PeriodicalId":51337,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Science and Practice","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/csp2.70113","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144832768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose exnovation interventions not only to address technological shortcomings but also to open space for responsible innovation pathways that foster negotiation, reflexivity, and context-sensitive approaches.

It addresses the growing reliance on nest boxes to mitigate impacts from development, forestry, agriculture, and extreme weather events. Although conservation efforts frequently use artificial hollows, their effectiveness and durability remain uncertain. This uncertainty underscores the need for designs that consider environmental, logistical, and economic factors over long periods. Our approach integrates knowledge of how natural hollows form and persist with analyses of how artificial structures function over time to create innovative designs and evaluate their sustainability. We applied this approach to a case study in a storm-damaged forest in northern Italy, focusing on boreal owls (Aegolius funereus) as the target species. Our modeling assessed the impact of supplying artificial hollows for 50 years at 741 nesting sites, comparing prototypes made from laser-cut plywood, 3D-printed plastic, and mycelium blocks. The analysis showed that mycelium offered the most environmentally sustainable option according to our criteria, while plastic remained the most cost-effective over time. Replacing plastic with mycelium could reduce carbon emissions by 75%, energy consumption by 78%, and waste generation by 81%, but would increase monetary costs by 15.5%. Plywood incurred costs similar to plastic and mycelium but would require substantial design and manufacturing improvements to compete effectively in other criteria. These findings clarify the environmental trade-offs of different design choices and could guide the development of sustainable conservation strategies in other ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":51337,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Science and Practice","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/csp2.70084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144833053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
