• Food Habits and Livestock Depredation of Sympatric Jaguars and Pumas in the Iguaçu National Park Area, South Brazil (2008, background): “…as the ability to use human-disturbed areas and diet flexibility through the use of small prey may be more important in promoting coexistence (e.g., Bailey 1993, Ramakrishnan et al. 1999) and increasing dietary breadth of predators (Neale & Sacks 2001), thereby leading to likely increases in…”
• Panthera pardus (Carnivora: Felidae) (2013, background): “Females typically share portions of their territories with their female offspring (Bailey 1993; Steyn and Funston 2009) .”
• Diet of free-ranging cats and dogs in a suburban and rural environment, south-eastern Brazil (2007, background): “nigripes, possibly due to its abundance in site (Bailey, 1993; Gheler-Costa et al., 2002).”
• Edge effects and the impact of non‐protected areas in carnivore conservation: leopards in the Phinda–Mkhuze Complex, South Africa (2010, background): “High mortality rates among adult male leopards in Phinda also attracted males from Mkhuze to depopulated border areas, presumably because of increased access to mating opportunities (Bailey, 2005).”
• FIRST KNOWN COMPLETE SKULLS OF THE SCIMITAR-TOOTHED CAT MACHAIRODUS APHANISTUS (FELIDAE, CARNIVORA) FROM THE SPANISH LATE MIOCENE SITE OF BATALLONES-1 (2004, background): “Lions are social felids (Alderton, 1998; Bothma and Walker, 1999), but leopards are solitary animals (Bailey, 1993) implying, as Van Valkenburg and Sacco (2002) have warned, that such high degree of sexual dimorphism does not indicate the presence of group behavior.”
• Leopard food habits in the Lopé National Park, Gabon, Central Africa (2005, background): “, 1996), and in southern Africa, male leopards in particular are known to suffer fatal injuries during territorial disputes (Bailey, 1993).”
• Mating Strategies in Relation to Sexually Selected Infanticide in a Non‐Social Carnivore: the Brown Bear (2006, background): “Concerning non-social carnivores, infanticide has been documented in some large solitary cats (Smith & McDougal 1991; Bailey 1993; Logan & Sweanor 2001) and bears (reviewed in Taylor 1994), but those studies lacked supporting evidence for SSI, as paternity is extremely difficult to document in the…”
• Extent and fragmentation of suitable leopard habitat in South Africa (2013, background): “16 km approximates the diameter of the smallest recorded leopard home ranges in South Africa (Bailey, 2005), we only included presence records with at least this spatial accuracy.”
• Facultative predation and scavenging by mammalian carnivores: seasonal, regional and intra‐guild comparisons (2014, unknown): “Bailey TN (1993) The African Leopard.”
• Territorial defense by coyotes ( Canis latrans ) in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming: who, how, where, when, and why (2001, background): “mechanisms that many carnivore species use to maintain their territory boundaries, including scent-marking (Peters and Mech 1975; Camenzind 1978; Rothman and Mech 1979; Barrette and Messier 1980; Bowen and Cowan 1980; Wells and Bekoff 1981; Bailey 1993; Caro 1994; Gese and Ruff 1997), howling (Harri”
• Impact of conservation interventions on the dynamics and persistence of a persecuted leopard (Panthera pardus) population (2009, background): “Leopards live in a complex land tenure system that is highly dependent on the stability of long-term relationships (Bailey, 2005).”
• Florida panther dispersal and conservation (2002, background): “Although it has been suggested that large cats, including Puma concolor, communicate with conspecifics through spoor (Turner, 1997), it is likely that the chemical compounds deposited in urine and feces persist no more than a few months (Bailey, 1993).”
