There is growing interest in developing effective interventions to manage socially and environmentally damaging conservation conflicts. There are a variety of intervention strategies that can be applied in various contexts, but the reasons one type of intervention is chosen over another remain underexplored. We surveyed conservation researchers and practitioners ( n = 427) to explore how characteristics of conflicts and charac...

Landscape genomics promises to provide novel insights into how neutral and adaptive processes shape genome‐wide variation within and among populations. However, there has been little emphasis on examining whether individual‐based phenotype–genotype relationships derived from approaches such as genome‐wide association (GWAS) manifest themselves as a population‐level signature of selection in a landscape context. The two may pro...

Populations of red grouse ( Lagopus lagopus scoticus ) undergo regular multiannual cycles in abundance. The ‘kinship hypothesis’ posits that such cycles are caused by changes in kin structure among territorial males producing delayed density‐dependent changes in aggressiveness, which in turn influence recruitment and regulate density. The kinship hypothesis makes several specific predictions about the levels of kinship, aggres...

Recovering predator populations may present problems for conservationists if their prey are of economic or conservation value. We address this issue by examining the conflict between raptor conservation and management of Red Grouse ( Lagopus l. scoticus ) in Britain. Heather moorland is a distinctive habitat that supports an important assemblage of breeding birds. Large areas of moorland are managed by private landowners for s...
