Countries use lethal control as a tool to respond to human–large carnivore conflicts to varying degrees. The aim of this study was to explore the complexities surrounding the often-controversial decision to lethally manage carnivores. We examined the cases of the tiger ( Panthera tigris ) in India and the wolf ( Canis lupus ) in Germany. This study used an Institutional Analysis and Development framework to analyze contrasting...

Plant–microbe interactions are critical to ecosystem functioning and impact soil legacies, where plants exert a lasting influence on the microbial and physicochemical conditions of the soils in which they grow. These soil legacies can affect subsequent plant growth and fitness. Specifically, biotic soil legacies can influence microbially associated plant fitness through the movement of soil microbiota in a two‐step selection p...
