- Human–carnivore conflict: ecological and economical sustainability of predation on livestock by snow leopard and other carnivores in the Himalaya (2014, background): “…were conducted in the 1990s in the Manang district of the Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) region of Nepal (Oli et al. 1994), and recently Wegge et al. (2012) examined snow leopard predation on livestock and other prey in Phu valley of Manang district, such information was lacking for…”
- Snow leopard predation in a livestock dominated landscape in Mongolia (2015, background): “Recent studies that used faecal DNA to ascertain the identity of the predator found that 31–57% of the assumed snow leopards scats belonged to other species such as wolves, foxes, dogs (Canis familiaris) and martens (Anwar et al., 2011; JumabayUulu et al., 2013; Shehzad et al., 2012; Wegge et al., 2”
- Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “Farm reports are the most accurate, but their published data are only few (Patterson et al., 2004; Schiess-Meier et al., 2007; Wegge et al., 2012).”
- Conservation and climate change: Assessing the vulnerability of snow leopard habitat to treeline shift in the Himalaya (2012, unknown): “…prey species, which are now displaced by livestock and persecuted by herders as competitors for forage (Mishra et al., 2004) could then become locally depleted, causing snow leopards to prey on livestock (Wegge et al., 2012), and resulting in increased rates of retaliatory killing (Oli, 1994).”
