EXTENDED DEADLINE: 21 October!
Wolves have always been at the center of human-wildlife conflict, and their management is politically polarized and contentious. Furthermore, the world’s wolf population ranges across an incredibly diverse collection of countries which represent a broad spectrum of cultures, environments, economies, and government structures. This is especially true in Eurasia, where wolves cross between the borders of over 50 different nations. Variation in cultural values, political objectives, monitoring strategies, and knowledge base about local wolf populations makes cross-border management complex.
For the special issue “Wolves Across Borders”, Wildlife Biology (a Gold Open Access journal) welcomes theoretical, empirical, and practical manuscripts of high standard from all areas of wolf science, ranging from the ecology and behavior of wolves to the human dimensions of wolf management and governance.
We here make an open call for papers to this special issue. Manuscripts can be submitted here. Deadline for full paper submission will be 30 September 2023. Guest editors: Aimee Tallian, Cecilia Di Bernardi, Barbara Zimmermann, Luigi Boitani, John Vucetich, Douglas Smith, Çağan Şekercioğlu and Josip Kusak. For questions, please email Editor-in-Chief: Ilse Storch (ilse [dot] storch [at] wildlife [dot] uni-freiburg [dot] de).
