Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone in the protection of landscapes and species of high conservation value. However, PAs are often insufficient in size to maintain viable populations of wide-ranging, large mammals without consideration of the broader landscape, and in many parts of the world have inadequate capacity to counter anthropogenic threats. As PAs are critical to the conservation of large carnivores, such as lions (Panthera leo ) and jaguars (Panthera onca), a better understanding of animal occurrence and behavior within and between PAs is needed. Herein I consider multiple species in different landscapes, varying perspective from mammal communities to individual species, and from range-wide to local scales, to improve this understanding. First, in a protected area complex in Angola, I quantified species richness using a multi-species occupancy model with spatially-dependent survey data. In this heavily-impacted landscape, anthropogenic rather than biological variables were the key determinants of species richness-underscoring the need for elevated PA budgets and improved enforcement in core areas. Shifting to a single-species focus, I assessed the habitat use of jaguars outside PAs across their range in Central America. Using a false positive occupancy framework with citizen interview data, I isolated biological (percent forest cover, prey richness, and elevation) and anthropogenic (percent cropland and pasture, distance to human settlement, and distance to PA) drivers of jaguar habitat use to highlight areas of conservation concern. Lastly, in an area of persistent human-lion conflict, at the periphery of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, I used GPS collar data to evaluate the behavioral responses of individual lions exposed to a conflict mitigation program. Some lions responded to interventions by shifting their territories away from community lands (mostly subadult males), while others remained recalcitrant (mostly adult females) and showed signs of habituation. Failure time models indicated that greater success might be achieved given more consistent interventions with problem lions; however, lion social processes may complicate intervention success, and conflict will persist in landscapes shared by people and lions. Overall, work is needed to better secure habitat for large carnivores, and to provide community-based incentives for the co-existence of large carnivores and people.
