Habitat management favouring duck hunting seems to prevent shifting distribution due to climate warming: Another avenue for hunting ‘greenwashing’? Anim. Conserv. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 J. G. Navedo
Habitat management favouring target species has long been proposed as a potential tool to buffer the consequences of natural habitat loss for such species. Furthermore, during the last two decades, several authors have proposed artificial wetland management as a critical tool to mitigate the ongoing effects of climate change on natural habitats for the conservation of waterbirds (wildfowl, shorebirds

Disentangling the complexity of climate change and land‐management effects on wildlife communities Anim. Conserv. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 A. Santangeli
As the climate is changing, wildlife species and communities often shift towards high latitudes, among other possible responses (Pecl et al., 2017). However, such climate-driven latitudinal shifts are often mediated, hindered or facilitated, by other forces. Such forces materialize at different scales, from regional to continental level, such as ecological barriers (Marjakangas et al., 2023), to local

Ecological effects of a declining red wolf population Anim. Conserv. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2023-11-20 A. Murray, R. Sutherland, R. Kays
Carnivores, especially wolves (Canis sp.), have profound impacts on their ecosystems, affecting the abundance and behavior of prey and competitors, but this has not been examined in detail for red wolves (C. rufus). We studied a population of red wolves that was reintroduced to eastern North Carolina in 1987 and initially thrived, peaking at 120 animals. Due to an increase in anthropogenic mortality
