Understanding factors influencing the spatio-temporal patterns of apex predators is prerequisite for their conservation. We studied space use and diel activity tigers ( Panthera tigris ) in response to prey availability anthropogenic activities with trail cameras Nepal during December 2022–March 2023. used hierarchical occupancy models evaluate how (space species) (number humans livestock) contributed tigers’ use, while accounting landscape effects on detection probability. calculated overlap between each species, as well livestock. Overall, had relatively high (0.540 ± 0.092) probability (0.742 0.073), were most influenced by wild pig Sus scrofa ), gaur Bos gaurus number livestock detections. Tigers exhibited extensive temporal prey, but not or Our study demonstrates that can co-occur a altering potentially moving cryptically certain landscapes, provided adequate available.

Factors affecting the occupancy of sloth bear and its detection probability in Parsa–Koshi Complex, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(10)

Abstract Understanding factors associated with coexistence of human and wildlife in human‐dominated landscapes is crucial for effective species conservation. Among the species, sloth bears Melursus ursinus are found both inside outside protected areas Nepal, increasing cases bear conflicts areas. This highlights necessity a comprehensive understanding anthropogenic ecological that affect occurrence bear. The these important its conservation through establishing management action plan. We studied bear's occupancy their environments other large predators Parsa–Koshi Complex Nepal using camera traps from December 2022 to March 2023. identified detection probability as 0.12 0.31, respectively. Our analysis reveals positive relationship between presence ( βpredators = 3.104 ± 0.968), such tigers Panthera tigris ) leopards pardus ), well number humans detected βhuman 1.428 1.216) canopy cover percentage βcc 1.002 0.737). However, livestock shows negative interaction βlivestock −2.240 1.467). There was insignificant distance settlements, roads, water bodies. These findings underscore complex dynamics bears, humans, predators, landscapes. To ensure long‐term survival populations promote conservation, strategies account socio‐economic essential.
