• Dead or alive? Comparing costs and benefits of lethal and non-lethal human–wildlife conflict mitigation on livestock farms (2014, background): “It incurs high costs for livestock-keepers and provokes both retaliatory and preventative killing of carnivores, which may threaten their survival locally or globally (Kruuk, 2002; Ray et al., 2005; Macdonald et al., 2013).”
• Occupancy patterns and niche partitioning within a diverse carnivore community exposed to anthropogenic pressures (2013, background): “In particular, large and competitively dominant species that pose a threat to human livelihoods have experienced drastic population reductions and shrinking distributions (Ray et al., 2005; Woodroffe and Ginsberg, 1998; Woodroffe, 2000).”
• Extent and fragmentation of suitable leopard habitat in South Africa (2013, background): “Effective conservation of carnivores is therefore dependent on the identification and maintenance of suitable carnivore habitat (Ray et al., 2005; Rabinowitz & Zeller, 2010).”
• Impacts of People and Tigers on Leopard Spatiotemporal Activity Patterns in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot (2015, background): “…Received in revised form 24 November 2014 Accepted 24 November 2014 Available online 26 November 2014 Keywords: Temporal activity Space use Camera traps Occupancy models Human traffic a b s t r a c t Leopard population declines largely occur in areas where leopards and people frequently interact.”
• Camera-trapping forest–woodland wildlife of western Uganda reveals how gregariousness biases estimates of relative abundance and distribution (2010, background): “One would expect the golden cat to be as difficult to detect by camera trapping as the leopard or more difficult because of its rarity in other places, solitary habits, and higher arboreality (Boy, 2003; Henschel and Ray, 2003; IUCN, 2008; Ray et al., 2005).”
• Panthera pardus (Carnivora: Felidae) (2013, background): “In 2005, only 11 African countries could export skins of P. pardus under the Convention for the International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, representing 2,590 specimens (Ray et al. 2005).”
