Coexistence with large carnivores represents one of the world's highest profile conservation challenges. Ecologists have identified ecological benefits derived from large carnivores (and large...

Have a read at our recently published article. Our main finding is that the survival of Eurasian lynx across Europe 🇪🇺 is driven mainly by human-caused mortalities 🪦, in particular illegal killing. https://t.co/cVSXyqMtuL
