Are negative effects of tourist activities on wildlife over-reported? A review of assessment methods and empirical results

There is a general assumption that animal species that face anthropogenic disturbance through tourism suffer some negative impacts as a result. We carried out a meta-analysis of empirical studies of wildlife responses to tourism activities in natural areas to test this assumption. A literature revie...
