Estimating lion population variables: prey and disease effects in Kruger National Park, South Africa. (2010, background): “2005), retribution killing of stock-raiding lions (Woodroffe and Frank 2005) and excessive trophy hunting (Loveridge et al.”
Savanna herbivore dynamics in a livestock-dominated landscape. II: Ecological, conservation, and management implications of predator restoration (2007, background): “…activities in this region, aimed at maintaining integrity of ecosystem processes across a mosaic of properties with contrasting land uses, have provided instructive case studies for large mammal conservation in human-occupied landscapes (Georgiadis et al., 2003, 2007; Woodroffe and Frank, 2005).”
Landscapes of Coexistence for terrestrial carnivores: the ecological consequences of being downgraded from ultimate to penultimate predator by humans (2015, background): “The lethal effects of humans on carnivore populations have received considerable attention: they can significantly affect carnivore population structure and functioning, including causing local or global extinction (Tuyttens and Macdonald 2000, Woodroffe and Frank 2005).”
Human–wildlife conflict in northern Botswana: livestock predation by Endangered African wild dog Lycaon pictus and other carnivores (2009, background): “Elsewhere in Africa, this impact has been found to be substantial (Woodroffe & Frank, 2005), reducing population viability and the potential for generating revenues through predator-based tourism (consumptive and non-consumptive).”
Why do Argos satellite tags deployed on marine animals stop transmitting (2007, background): “Similarly, cessation ofmovement and a change in tag temperature have been used to identify mortality in radio tracking studies of lions (e.g. Woodroffe and Frank, 2005) and mortality sensors (e.g. motion cessation detectors) are a common feature in both terrestrial and aquatic tag deployments to…”
Evaluation of a compensation scheme to bring about pastoralist tolerance of lions (2009, background): “Some individual predators will inevitably develop the habit of taking livestock and need to be removed (Woodroffe and Frank, 2005), but traditional livestock husbandry can minimize losses of both livestock and predators (Ogada et al, 2003).”
Death from anthropogenic causes is partially compensatory in recovering wolf populations. (2010, background): “Proportional risks methods currently are underused in ecology but hold promise for radio-telemetry studies where survival time and cause of death are known, especially where anthropogenic hazard plays a premium role on population viability (e.g., Forbes and Theberge, 1996; Woodroffe and Frank, 2005)”
A Meta-Analysis of Human–Wildlife Conflict: South African and Global Perspectives (2016, background): “Additionally, our findings that primates and carnivores were high-scale conflict species, concur with several other studies [6,46,53,62], that the threats facing felids, canids and primates are often identical and occur in the same region [78].”
Spatial, temporal, and physical characteristics of livestock depredations by large carnivores along a Kenyan reserve border (2006, background): “Previous research has suggested natural prey abundance may influence depredation rates (Polisar et al., 2003; Woodroffe et al., 2005), and that rainfall may be an indirect measure of prey abundance and observed variation in depredation frequency (Patterson et al., 2004; Woodroffe and Frank, 2005).”
Livestock predation by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, and their vulnerability to retaliatory killing in the Maasai steppe, Tanzania (2008, background): “Such species must utilize adjacent dispersal areas for supplementary food (Woodroffe & Frank, 2005).”
Tools for the Edge: What's New for Conserving Carnivores (2006, background): “Lethal removal may be an important long-term practice for selecting against depredation behaviors in predator populations (Woodroffe and Frank 2005) and is ultimately useful for conserving predators.”
Spatiotemporal patterns of lion space use in a human-dominated landscape (2015, background): “While there is no legal (trophy) hunting of lions in the study area, lions regularly attack livestock, and are killed by people in response, on both land use types (Frank, 2011; Ogada et al., 2003; Woodroffe & Frank, 2005).”
Forecasting Environmental Hazards and the Application of Risk Maps to Predator Attacks on Livestock (2011, background): “Over the past two centuries, people have eradicated numerous populations of predators, including two species driven to extinction (Woodroffe and Ginsberg 1998, Woodroffe and Frank 2005, Woodroffe et al. 2005, Dickman et al. 2007, Sillero-Zubiri et al. 2007).”
Spatial ecology of cheetahs on north-central Namibian farmlands (2008, background): “Journal compilation c 2008 The Zoological Society of London236 found that the actions of just one rancher, on a 180 km2 ranch, had direct impacts on lion populations over 2000 km2 (Woodroffe & Frank, 2005).”
