We studied the practice of translocating American crocodiles in S. Florida to resolve human-crocodile conflicts by tracking them via satellite GPS transmitters. The paper highlights the risks to crocodiles and effects of translocation on the crocodiles' movements and habitat use. Four out of 7 translocated crocodiles were documented returning ≤ 3 km from their original capture locations. Abstract The range of the threatened American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) in the United States is limited to the southernmost parts of Florida. As this species has recovered concurrently with an increasing ..read more

Feral burros on Fort Irwin National Training Center selected areas closer to water in all seasons and at both spatial scales, but selection was stronger in the dry season and at the landscape scale. Burros strongly selected for urban areas on base when available within their home ranges. Abstract Expansion of feral burro (Equus asinus) populations across the southwestern United States is causing human–wildlife conflicts including rangeland degradation, competition with livestock and native species, and burro–vehicle collisions. On the Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC) in California ..read more

In this study, we assessed the influence of hunting and eelgrass on the spatiotemporal distribution of Canada geese in the Tabusintac Bay, a Wetland of International Importance, located in New Brunswick, Canada. We show that eelgrass abundance is a significant predictor of Canada geese presence early in the season, when hunting activity is low. At the onset of the hunting period, geese shifted diurnal distribution, indicating a response to avoid disturbance, and the abundance of Canada geese increased with increasing eelgrass availability, emphasizing the importance of eelgrass as a food sour ..read more

Livestock rewilding (LR) is the use of herbivorous livestock species to restore ecological functions and trophic complexity in abandoned agricultural landscapes. We assess societal attitudes and awareness of LR in Spain through a questionnaire. Respondents supported LR, but only on the condition of imposing minimum hazards to people and crops. Horses, donkeys and goats were the most preferred species to be included in LR programs. Abstract Rewilding is habitat restoration that attempts to return ecosystems to their state before human alterations were imposed. Rewilding might involve actions ..read more

The Punjab urial inhabiting the Kalabagh Game Reserve in Pakistan is presenting a population decline due to illegal hunting. This population experienced drastic bottlenecks during its history. Future viability of this population will strongly depend on it remaining open to the influx of reproducing animals from outside of the reserve so that genetic variation can be maintained. Abstract The Punjab urial (Ovis vignei punjabiensis) is endemic to Northern Punjab, Pakistan, and is categorized as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.
