Recognizing the Multiple Reasons for Bushmeat Consumption in Urban Areas: A Necessary Step Toward the Sustainable Use of Wildlife for Food in Central Africa (2011, background): “People already consume greater quantities of livestock and fish in those parts of West Africa where human population densities are greater and fewer wilderness areas remain to provide bushmeat (Brashares et al., 2004; Cowlishaw et al., 2005).”
Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “Physiologic aspects of the prey and threat type also influence susceptibility to harvesting pressure (Cowlishaw et al. 2005; Isaac and Cowlishaw 2004).”
Conservation Biology for All (2010, background): “For example, hunting inWest African forests could now be defined as sustainable from the viewpoint of urban bushmeat markets in which primarily rodents and small antelopes are currently traded, following a series of historical extinctions of vulnerable prey such as primates and large ungulates (Cowl”
Using market data and expert opinion to identify overexploited species in the wild bird trade (2015, background): “The wildlife trade is known to be driving declines of a limited number of species in all major vertebrate groups in Asia, South America, and Africa (Alves et al., 2013; Butchart, 2008; Cowlishaw et al., 2005; Lee et al., 2004; Nijman and Shepherd, 2007; van Balen et al., 2013; Shepherd et al., 2013)”
