Abstract The American Oystercatcher ( Haematopus palliatus ) is a shorebird specialized in coastal environments across the Americas. Thus, anthropic extensive use of shoreline including introduction dogs and vehicles to beaches could directly impact fitness, ultimately persistence species’ populations. In this study, we aimed assess pedestrians, on nest density, productivity hatching success Maule Region, central Chile. To end, sampled sandy beaches, quantifying number nests, eggs, chicks, but also during breeding seasons 2023 2024. We assessed for influence these threats parameters reproductive output by using Generalized Linear Mixed Models. found that only variable negatively impacts eggs chicks areas. Reducing ubiquitous challenge Chile, however current regulations do not allow management relying removal from important areas biodiversity.

Abstract There is an increasing interest in researching urban invasion. When invasive species establish and spread areas, their management becomes particularly challenging given the influence of public presence perceptions. Cultural, religious, moral values play a crucial role shaping perceptions toward strategies for species. Free‐ranging dogs (FRDs) free‐ranging cats (FRCs) are among that bring health, safety, wildlife conservation concerns. However, close relationship with people controlling populations challenging. We surveyed 500 residents Karaj city northern Iran to understand behaviour feeding FRDs FRCs by people, as well uncover residents' acceptability different control measures, focusing on culling under scenarios. used generalized linear mixed models cumulative link address issues them respectively. found more than half respondents fed (63% 59%, respectively), those who FRCs, 74.8% 78.2% respectively food leftovers from home feed these animals. Furthermore, around one‐third provided outside neighbourhoods, also religious belief being ritually impure ( Najis ) was significant predictor both FRDs. People held were inclined less willing Moreover, we polarized conflicting views concerning higher‐intensity scenarios involving attacks disease spread. On contrary, less‐intense such population most disagreed culling. In end, recommend (1) improved waste system residuals provide resources (2) effective communication pet‐owners reduce (3) bottom‐up de‐escalation conflict between groups about before it reaches destructive phase.

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution dogs and feces using visual census method. research aimed quantify presence number observed in these environments. Method: conducted every fifteen days over course one year along Mar Grosso beach shoreline, which divided into areas sectors. data were subsequently tabulated, statistical analysis performed non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Research Results Discussions: highest stray found urban sector during summer. Regarding feces, area with A3 As for stray, domiciled, off-leash dogs, they more frequently summer, predominantly A2 (beach sector), domiciled A2, respectively, sector. Implications: results identify hotspots area, providing valuable information that can assist decision-making implementation public policies at controlling animals on beaches protecting environment, thereby reducing risk disease transmission population frequenting locations. Originality/Value: This contributes evidence-based policy promote environmental health, animal welfare coastal areas.
