Editor’s note and erratum for the Research Article: “Elusive effects of legalized wolf hunting on human-wolf interactions” by L. M. Merz et al.
Abstract
On 20 August 2025, Science Advances published the Research Article “Elusive effects of legalized wolf hunting on human-wolf interactions” by L. M. Merz et al. (1). On 3 September 2025, an Editorial Expression of Concern (2) alerted readers that the authors had informed the journal of a discrepancy with the livestock predation data used in the publication. The authors have corrected the paper as described in the Erratum (3). These changes have addressed concerns about the integrity of the paper. Therefore, Science Advances has removed the Editorial Expression of Concern. We thank the authors for bringing these issues to our attention.
