Dataset of: Community perspectives on the prospect of lion (Panthera leo) reintroduction to Comoé National Park, Côte d'Ivoire (West Africa)
<p><span>The civil war in Côte d'Ivoire led to a hike in human disturbances and the extirpation of the African lion (<em>Panthera</em> <em>leo</em>) from the Comoé National Park (CNP). After the war, many efforts have been made to restore this ecosystem and management is considering the reintroduction of lions. In participatory management with people at the center of conservation, there is a need to discuss with communities the initiatives affecting their livelihoods. We assessed the acceptance of lion reintroduction by the local communities; through semi-structured questionnaires to 307 volunteer participants in surrounding 23 villages. Most respondents had knowledge of lions from CNP (93%, n=286). A generalized linear model (GLM) revealed that </span><span>sex, profession, perceived benefits and risks, and an appreciation of the current management system are the main significant determinants for the acceptance of lion reintroduction in CNP.</span><span> A large majority (73%, n=223) were in favor of the lion reintroduction with significant variance among socio-professional categories. The majority of respondents (81%, n=250) acknowledged having coexisted with lions, with previous lion conflicts reported by 20% (n = 61), and a willingness to coexist in the future by 74% (n = 227). More than 84% (n=260) believed that there would be benefits associated with lion reintroduction to CNP and 53% (n=162) believed that the potential benefits would be greater than the possible risks associated with lions. Most respondents (88%; n=270) confirmed the possibility of taking precautions to prevent future lion attacks. While only 42% (n = 129) of respondents felt that current management was participatory, most of them felt that it was acceptable (83%; n = 254). </span><span>Our data shows a large degree of lion support, positive perceptions, and willingness to coexist with lions in the future. These results form part of a fundamental step in the direction for ethical reintroduction, as described by the IUCN reintroduction specialist group</span><span>. </span><span>We recommend the improvement of the involvement of indigenous communities in potential reintroduction of lions, especially the pastoralists, and the sharing of any associated benefits.</span></p>

Data from: Detecting signals of chronic shedding to explain pathogen persistence: Leptospira interrogans in California sea lions
Identifying mechanisms driving pathogen persistence is a vital component of wildlife disease ecology and control. Asymptomatic, chronically infected individuals are an oft-cited potential reservoir of infection but demonstrations of the importance of chronic shedding to pathogen persistence at the population level remain scarce. Studying chronic shedding using commonly collected disease data is hampered by numerous challenges, including short-term surveillance that focuses on single epidemics and acutely ill individuals, the subtle dynamical influence of chronic shedding relative to more obvious epidemic drivers, and poor ability to differentiate between the effects of population prevalence of chronic shedding versus intensity and duration of chronic shedding in individuals. We use chronic shedding of Leptospira interrogans serovar Pomona in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) as a case study to illustrate how these challenges can be addressed. Using leptospirosis-induced strands as a measure of disease incidence, we fit models with and without chronic shedding, and with different seasonal drivers, to determine the timescale over which chronic shedding is detectable and the interactions between chronic shedding and seasonal drivers needed to explain persistence and outbreak patterns. Chronic shedding can enable persistence of L. interrogans within the sea lion population. However, the importance of chronic shedding was only apparent when surveillance data included at least two outbreaks and the intervening inter-epidemic trough during which fadeout of transmission was most likely. Seasonal transmission, as opposed to seasonal recruitment of susceptibles, was the dominant driver of seasonality in this system, and both seasonal factors had limited impact on long-term pathogen persistence. We show that the temporal extent of surveillance data can have a dramatic impact on inferences about population processes, where the failure to identify both short- and long-term ecological drivers can have cascading impacts on understanding higher-order ecological phenomena, such as pathogen persistence.
Data from: Selfish partners: resource partitioning in male coalitions of Asiatic lions
Behavioral plasticity within species is adaptive which directs survival traits to take multiple pathways under varying conditions. Male-male cooperation is an evolutionary strategy often exhibiting an array of alternatives between and within species. African male lions coalesce to safeguard territories and mate-acquisition. Unique to these coalitions is lack of strict hierarchies between partners, who have similar resource-securities possibly because of many mating-opportunities within large female-groups. Skewed mating and feeding rights have only been documented in large coalitions where males were related. However, smaller modal prey coupled with less simultaneous mating-opportunities for male Asiatic lions in Gir forests, India would likely result in a different coalition-structure. Observations on mating-events (n=127) and feeding-incidents (n=44) were made on 11 male-coalitions and 9 female-prides in Gir, to assess resource distribution within- and among- different sized male-coalitions. Information from 39 males were used to estimate annual tenure-holding probabilities. Single-males had smaller tenures and appropriated fewer matings than coalition-males. Pronounced dominance-hierarchies were observed within coalitions, with one partner getting >70% of all matings and 47% more food. Competition between coalition-partners at kills increased with decline in prey-size, increase in coalition-size and the appetite-states of the males. However, immediate subordinates in coalitions had higher reproductive fitness than single-males. Declining benefits to partners with increasing coalition-size, with individuals below the immediate subordinates having fitness comparable to single-males, suggest to an optimal coalition-size of two lions. Lions under higher competitive selection in Gir show behavioral plasticity to form hierarchical-coalitions, wherein partners utilize resources asymmetrically, yet coalesce for personal gains.
Data from: Species-specific spatiotemporal patterns of leopard, lion and tiger attacks on humans
1. Large carnivores of the genus Panthera can pose serious threats to public safety. Although the annual number of attacks on humans is rare compared to livestock depredation, such incidents undermine popular support for wildlife conservation and require immediate responses to protect human life. 2. We used a space-time scan method to perform a novel spatiotemporal analysis of 908 attacks on humans by lions, leopards and tigers to estimate the risks of further attacks in the same locales. 3. We found that a substantial proportion of attacks were clustered in time and space, but the dimension of these outbreaks varied between species. Lion outbreaks included more human fatalities, persisted for longer periods of time, and extended over larger areas than tiger or leopard outbreaks. 4. These techniques could be used by relevant agencies to warn local people of risks from further attacks within a certain time and distance following an initial incident by each species, as well as identify areas that require management interventions to address these threats.31-Oct-2018

American Lion
American lion skull, Zoological museum (Copenhagen, Denmark). Made with Memento Beta. The American lion lived 200.000 to 10.000 years ago in the savannas and grass steppes in North America and north western South America. He weighted about 250 to 350 kg for approximatively 2.5m long and 1.2m high. The American lion was larger and stronger bite than the modern African lion. This was an adaptation to hunting the large animals that lived during the ice ages. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
