Large carnivore hunting and the social license to hunt

Chris T. Darimont, Hannah Hall, Lauren Eckert, Ilona Mihalik, more

Conservation Biology > 35 > 4 > 1111 - 1119

The social license to operate framework considers how society grants or withholds informal permission for resource extractors to exploit publicly owned resources. We developed a modified model, which we refer to as the social license to hunt (SLH). In it we similarly consider hunters as operators, given that wildlife are legally considered public resources in North America and Europe. We applied the...

Salmonid species diversity predicts salmon consumption by terrestrial wildlife

Christina N. Service, Andrew W. Bateman, Megan S. Adams, Kyle A. Artelle, more

Journal of Animal Ecology > 88 > 3 > 392 - 404

Resource waves—spatial variation in resource phenology that extends feeding opportunities for mobile consumers—can affect the behaviour and productivity of recipient populations. Interspecific diversity among Pacific salmon species (Oncorhynchus spp.) creates staggered spawning events across space and time, thereby prolonging availability to terrestrial wildlife. We sought to understand how such...

Comparing citizen science reports and systematic surveys of marine mammal distributions and densities

Gillian K.A. Harvey, Trisalyn A. Nelson, Paul C. Paquet, Colin J. Ferster, more

Biological Conservation > 2018 > 226 > C > 92-100

Citizen science observations represent a significant and growing source of species and ecosystem knowledge. These data have potential to support traditional surveys. Databases of citizen observations of wildlife are growing, but how to use this information for scientific purposes is less clear owing to uncertainty in sampling distribution and data quality. In this study, we demonstrate how mapping...

Temperate and Boreal Rainforests of the Pacific Coast of North America

Dominick A. DellaSala, Faisal Moola, Paul Alaback, Paul C. Paquet, more

Temperate and Boreal Rainforests of the World: Ecology and Conservation > 42-81

The world’s most expansive stretch of coastal temperate and boreal rainforest issandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and a chain of coastal mountains spanning 23 degrees of latitude and some 3,600 kilometers. Here, rainforests extend from northern Kodiak Island and Prince William Sound, Alaska (61°N latitude)to just south of San Francisco Bay, California (38°N latitude; see figure 2-1). Along the...

Heavily hunted wolves have higher stress and reproductive steroids than wolves with lower hunting pressure

Heather M. Bryan, Judit E. G. Smits, Lee Koren, Paul C. Paquet, more

Functional Ecology > 29 > 3 > 347 - 356

Human‐caused harassment and mortality (e.g. hunting) affects many aspects of wildlife population dynamics and social structure. Little is known, however, about the social and physiological effects of hunting, which might provide valuable insights into the mechanisms by which wildlife respond to human‐caused mortality. To investigate physiological consequences of hunting, we measured stress and...

Perspectives on the conservation of wild hybrids

Astrid V. Stronen, Paul C. Paquet

Biological Conservation > 2013 > 167 > Complete > 390-395

Hybridization processes are widespread throughout the taxonomic range and require conservation recognition. Science can help us understand hybridization processes but not whether and when we ought to conserve hybrids. Important questions include the role of humans in hybridization and the value we place on natural and human-induced hybrids concerning their ecological function. Certain hybrids resulting...

Influence of landscape and social interactions on transmission of disease in a social cervid

ERIC VANDER WAL, PAUL C. PAQUET, JOSÉ A. ANDRÉS

Molecular Ecology > 21 > 5 > 1271 - 1282

The mechanisms of pathogen transmission are often social behaviours. These occur at local scales and are affected by landscape‐scale population structure. Host populations frequently exist in patchy and isolated environments that create a continuum of genetic and social familiarity. Such variability has an important multispatial effect on pathogen spread. We assessed elk dispersal (i.e. likelihood...

Dispersal in a plain landscape: short-distance genetic differentiation in southwestern Manitoba wolves, Canada

Astrid V. Stronen, Graham J. Forbes, Paul C. Paquet, Gloria Goulet, more

Conservation Genetics > 2012 > 13 > 2 > 359-371

The effects of human-caused fragmentation require further study in landscapes where physical dispersal barriers and natural ecological transitions can be discounted as causes for population genetic structure. We predict that fragmentation can reduce dispersal across such barrier-free landscapes because dispersal also is limited by a perception of risk. Considerable fragmentation has occurred in the...

Landscape resistance to dispersal: simulating long-term effects of human disturbance on a small and isolated wolf population in southwestern Manitoba, Canada

Astrid V. Stronen, Nathan H. Schumaker, Graham J. Forbes, Paul C. Paquet, more

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment > 2012 > 184 > 11 > 6923-6934

Landscape fragmentation affects wildlife population viability, in part, through the effects it has on individual dispersal. In addition, some forms of human disturbance impinge on dispersal without physically fragmenting habitats. Here, we use the term “landscape resistance” to capture constraints to dispersal that cannot be linked directly to fragmentation. The extent to which landscape resistance...

The genetic legacy of extirpation and re-colonization in Vancouver Island wolves

Violeta Muñoz-Fuentes, Chris T. Darimont, Paul C. Paquet, Jennifer A. Leonard

Conservation Genetics > 2010 > 11 > 2 > 547-556

Hybridization between wild and domestic species is of conservation concern because it can result in the loss of adaptations and/or disappearance of a distinct taxon. Wolves from Vancouver Island, British Columbia (Canada), have been subject to several eradication campaigns during the twentieth century and were considered virtually extirpated between 1950 and 1970. In this study, we use control region...

Farmer attitudes toward wolves: Implications for the role of predators in managing disease

Astrid V. Stronen, Ryan K. Brook, Paul C. Paquet, Stéphane Mclachlan

Biological Conservation > 2007 > 135 > 1 > 1-10

The potential for disease transmission between wild and domestic animals may interfere with wildlife and habitat conservation on lands surrounding protected areas. Recently, possible transmission of bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) from wild ungulates to domestic livestock has affected the Riding Mountain National Park region in Manitoba, Canada. Wolf (Canis lupus) predation on ungulate populations...

Pitfalls of Applying Adaptive Management to a Wolf Population in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario

John B. Theberge, Mary T. Theberge, John A. Vucetich, Paul C. Paquet

Environmental Management > 2006 > 37 > 4 > 451-460

We examined adaptive management (AM), applied as a science with testable and falsifiable hypothesis, in the context of a large carnivore population, specifically to wolf (Canis lupus lycaon) management in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. Evidence of a population decline was based upon 12 years of data on 137 different radio-collared wolves. Because human killing accounted for an average...
