New OA Paper in Ecology and Evolution by Alys Granados and colleagues in the WildCAM Network in which data from 446 camera traps across 10 landscapes in western Canada was synthesized. Limited support for the “human shield hypothesis that "outdoor recreation would repel predators and attract prey" was found. Mammal responses to recreation varied by species, scale and land use, highlighting the complexity of human-wildlife interactions. With increasing camera trap surveys across changing landscapes, wildlife responses to human activity should be studied to inform context-specific management.
