Relationships Between Livestock Damages and Large Carnivore Densities in Sweden

Abstract: Promoting coexistence between humans and their physical and ecological environment, including wildlife, has been given an increased importance due to a recent shift of society to become environmentally sustainable. However, humans and large carnivores have been in conflict throughout history. One of the most prominent reasons for this conflict is damages to livestock and domestic animals. Population reduction or even local eradication has often been used as a damage mitigation strategy. However, number of carn… Show more

“…Several factors have been proposed to explain the probability and numbers of wolf attacks, including the density of wolf populations, pack sizes, availability of natural prey, landscape structure, livestock availability, husbandry practices, and protective measures (Bradley et al, 2015; DeCesare et al, 2018; Janeiro‐Otero et al, 2020; Kaartinen et al, 2009; Kaczensky, 1999; Meriggi & Lovari, 1996; Odden et al, 1999). Given the variety of factors influencing livestock depredation by wolves, it is difficult to predict spatial and temporal patterns in wolf attacks, especially in areas where wolves are recolonizing after a long absence (Dalerum et al, 2020).…”

“…Large carnivore population density is important factor that in uence livestock damage. Studies that evaluated the impact of these factors on the frequency of depredation events and livestock losses revealed controversial ndings (Mabille et al 2015, Poudyal et al 2016, Bautista et al 2019, Dalerum et al 2020. In contrast to regions where carnivores have recently regained space (Linnell et al 1999), damage to livestock may look different in areas where they persisted (Grente et al 2022, Khorozyan and Heurich 2022).…”
