Tilting at wildlife: reconsidering human–wildlife conflict
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of 100 recent articles on human-wildlife conflicts reveals that 97 were between conservation and other human activities, particularly those associated with livelihoods, and suggests that those representing conservation interests should not only seek technical solutions to deal with the impacts but also consider their role and objectives, and focus on strategies likely to deliver longterm solutions for the benefit of biodiversity and the people involved.

TL;DR: Current approaches to mitigating adverse human-predator encounters are reviewed and a vision for future approaches to understanding and mitigating such encounters is devised, including a recommendation for focused interdisciplinary research and the use of new approaches, including human-animal geography, multispecies ethnography, and approaches from the environmental humanities notably environmental history.

People, predators and perceptions: patterns of livestock depredation by snow leopards and wolves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the potential mismatch between reality and human perceptions of livestock depredation by these carnivores whose survival is threatened due to persecution by pastoralists, and identified the ecological factors that predispose areas within a landscape to livestock-depredation.

TL;DR: The few existing studies indicate that, under certain conditions, raptor predation may limit gamebird populations and reduce gamebird harvests, but there is an urgent need to develop further studies, particularly in southern Europe, to determine the functional and numerical responses of raptors to gamebirds in species and environments other than those already evaluated in existing studies.

Numerical and functional responses in generalist predators: hen harriers and peregrines on Scottish grouse moors
TL;DR: In the absence of persecution, the impact of harriers on grouse populations is most likely to be greatest on moors where alternative prey and thus harriers are abundant, and the question of whether harriers may dampen grouse population cycles at low grouse density is discussed.
