Do fences constrain predator movements on an evolutionary scale? Home range, food intake and movement patterns of large predators reintroduced to Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa (2009, background): “…of significantly preferred prey, which has been shown to improve relationships between lion density and prey biomass (Hayward and Kerley 2005; Hayward 2006; Hayward et al. 2006, 2007e) and therefore probably home range size, because data on the biomass of individual species were rarely available.”
Temporal Partitioning of Activity in Large African Carnivores: Tests of Multiple Hypotheses (2009, background): “At an ecosystem level, it seems likely that bottom-up limitation may be affecting all members of the guild, as evidenced by the strong linear relationships between their density and that of their prey (East 1984; Scheel & Packer 1995; Honer et al. 2002; Hayward et al. 2007b).”
The potential for large carnivores to act as biodiversity surrogates in southern Africa (2008, background): “Emerging data from game reserves and various carnivore conservation programmes in the region indicates that large carnivore populations mainly are food limited (Hayward et al. 2007a; Hayward et al. 2007b) or limited by human persecution (WoodroVe and Ginsberg 1998).”
Monitoring of Reintroduced Tigers in Sariska Tiger Reserve, Western India: Preliminary Findings on Home Range, Prey Selection and Food Habits (2010, background): “In a series of 30 events of large carnivore reintroduction reported from Africa, the final outcome was known only from nine which were considered successful [7].”
Restoring lions Panthera leo to northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: short-term biological and technical success but equivocal long-term conservation (2007, background): “Post-release reproduction and mortality indicated that, unlike other felids (e.g. Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx; Breitenmoser et al., 2001), lions are not difficult to reestablish (see also Hayward et al., 2006).”
Prey preferences and dietary overlap amongst Africa's large predators (2008, background): “…smaller species (Hayward & Kerley 2005; Hayward 2006; Hayward et al. 2006c) and, given the relationships between predator density and prey biomass, when the preferred prey of these species increases in abundance so will the predators (van Orsdol et al.1985;Fuller et al.1992; Hayward et al. 2007d).”
