Book publication, 23 July 2026
We are excited to announce the publication of Apex Predators in the Anthropocene, edited by University of Cumbria Professor Robert Montgomery and University of New Hampshire Associate Professor Remington Moll. This accessible compendium of research insights is published by Oxford University Press.
As people and carnivores increasingly share landscapes across the globe, understanding these complex interactions has never been more important. This timely new book brings together emerging research that examines how human actions shape carnivore populations and ecosystems, and how these interactions can lead to both conflict and coexistence.
Apex Predators in the Anthropocene is the first comprehensive synthesis of a growing body of research, with contributions from leading experts across multiple disciplines. Taking a holistic, ecologically centred perspective, the book integrates research from ecology, conservation biology, and coupled human and natural systems, to provide new insights into this pressing conservation challenge.
This volume will be a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students, conservation practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of people and predators in a rapidly changing world.
Congratulations to the editors, chapter authors, and contributors involved in bringing this important work to publication.
