Spatial, temporal, and physical characteristics of livestock depredations by large carnivores along a Kenyan reserve border (2006, background): “…as by socio-ecological factors including livestock husbandry practices (Meriggi and Lovari, 1996; Ciucci and Boitani, 1998; Stahl et al., 2001; Madhusudan, 2003; Ogada et al., 2003) and characteristics of attacked farms, villages, and livestock enclosures (Mech et al., 2000; Ogada et al., 2003).”
Ex-post compensation payments for wolf predation on livestock in Italy: a tool for conservation? (2010, background): “In the much more uniform landscape of Minnesota, farms with chronic losses were larger, had more cattle, and had herds farther from human dwellings, whereas habitat types and other farm characteristics and management practices were the same around farms with and without losses (Mech et al. 2000).”
Factors affecting lynx predation on sheep in the French Jura (2002, background): “In particular, predation on livestock tends to be higher in rough and brushy areas or in remote parts of the farms, but lower in grassy areas (Nass, Lynch & Theade 1984; Fritts et al. 1992; Mech et al. 2000).”
Assessing factors related to wolf depredation of cattle in fenced pastures in Montana and Idaho (2005, background): “Mech et al. (2000) compared characteristics and management practices of cattle farms in Minnesota with and without chronic depredations and found that depredated farms were larger in size, had more cattle, and grazed cattle farther from human dwellings.”
Effects of Wolf Removal on Livestock Depredation Recurrence and Wolf Recovery in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming (2015, background): “…variables, such as livestock density, natural prey density, livestock husbandry, ranch management practices, and proximity of pup rearing sites (Mech et al. 2000, Bradley and Pletscher 2005) certainly could have affected depreda-tion recurrence in certain places, but we were unable to look at…”
