Is predator control an effective strategy for enhancing bird populations? (systematic review)
Posted by AndrewPullin on September 23, 2014The control of predators to protect populations of vulnerable bird species is an important nature conservation issue because in recent years predation pressure upon many populations has increased. Predator removal by culling or translocation is controversial, expensive, timeconsuming and often temporary and so it is important that the effectiveness of the practice is assessed using […]
Is translocation of problematic jaguars (Panthera onca) an effective strategy to resolve human-predator conflicts? (systematic review)

In spite of the low impact of jaguar predation on livestock populations, the conflict-related hunting of this predator is one of the major threats to its conservation. […]
How do draining and re-wetting affect carbon stores and greenhouse gas fluxes in peat soils? (systematic review)

More recently, attempts to restore degraded peatland […]
