Ethiopia is experiencing significant land use changes, restricting habitat for wide-ranging, large carnivores.

Camera trap data estimates large carnivore populations in Omo Valley and the threats faced, shaping future conservation management practices.

African wild dogs are critically endangered and understudied.

In Tanzania’s Selous-Nyerere landscape, researchers used camera traps to identify 222 individuals, estimating 2.14 wild dogs/100 km², confirming it as one of Africa's wild dog strongholds.

New research investigates the Himalayan wolf, one of Eurasia’s oldest wolf lineages.

Genomic data and skull shape analysis shows subtle traits, eg. shorter muzzle and wider cheekbones, that set this elusive wolf apart.

Dire wolves are not back.

Pups created by gene editing grey wolves are not true dire wolves, say canid conservation experts. Recreating the Ice Age sounds exciting, but it won't save what's still wild. #Conservation #Biodiversity #GeneEditing #direwolf

Great new paper from Alyona Kashkina from @ACBK_Kazakhstan and colleagues, on the (relatively positive) view that people across Kazakhstan have of wolves, and their suggestions towards coexistence https://t.co/wLLXIfaryH @PaN_BES

Excellent review on a topic I really love the famed ‘mesopredator release hypothesis’, actually better called ‘subordinate predator release hypothesis’
