• Lion hunting behaviour and vegetation structure in an African savanna (2013, unknown): “…et al. 2010), understanding how to maintain landscape-scale ecological processes that support diverse mammal communities within reserve boundaries is a critical conservation priority (Woodroffe & Ginsberg 1998; Bengtsson et al. 2003; Berger 2004; van Aarde & Jackson 2007; Loarie et al. 2009a, b).”
• Elephant spatial use in wet and dry savannas of southern Africa (2009, background): “However, the link between herbivore numbers and the impact they have on other species is not simple (Gordon, Hester & Festa-Bianchet, 2004; for an elephant-related discussion see van Aarde, Jackson & Ferreira, 2006; and van Aarde & Jackson, 2007).”
• Functional connectivity within conservation networks: Delineating corridors for African elephants (2013, background): “Historically, the world’s biodiversity was preserved through the establishment of parks and protected areas, but current initiatives are moving towards increasing connectivity between these wildlife islands (Hanks 2001; van Aarde and Jackson 2007).”
• Do landscape heterogeneity and water distribution explain aspects of elephant home range in southern Africa's arid savannas? (2008, background): “This may further facilitate initiatives to improve conservation management plans for elephants (see van Aarde and Jackson, 2007).”
• Elephant seasonal vegetation preferences across dry and wet savannas (2009, background): “A major consequence of these changes is that elephants are an increasingly perennial presence on relatively small protected areas as opposed to a dispersed and often seasonal presence across much larger areas (Van Aarde and Jackson, 2007).”
• Global decline in aggregated migrations of large terrestrial mammals (2009, background): “For example, eland re-colonized Lake Manyara National Park (Newmark 1996) and projects envision elephants migrating between transboundary parks in southern Africa (van Aarde & Jackson 2007).”
