• Prey preferences and dietary overlap amongst Africa's large predators (2008, background): “…National Park 1999–2001 137 van Dyk & Slotow (2003) Shambala Private Game Reserve 2002 56 Rhodes & Rhodes (2004) Shamwari Game Reserve 2004 58 Hayward et al.

• The potential for large carnivores to act as biodiversity surrogates in southern Africa (2008, unknown): “…the spotted hyaena (56–182 kg; Hayward 2006) primarily hunt medium sized and large ungulates and also overlap in prey preferences (Hayward 2006), whereas cheetah and leopards rely on hunting somewhat smaller prey (cheetah: 23–56 kg, Hayward et al. 2006a; leopard: 10–40 kg, Hayward et al. 2006b).”
• African ungulates and their drinking problems: hunting and predation risks constrain access to water (2012, unknown): “Nevertheless, reviews on these large carnivore diets (Hayward et al. 2006a, b, c) indicate that leopards preferentially prey upon impala, consume greater kudu in proportion to their relative abundance, and tend to avoid sable antelope.”
• Prey preferences of the spotted hyaena (Crocuta crocuta) and degree of dietary overlap with the lion (Panthera leo) (2006, background): “…and leopard prey preferences are significantly predicted by the body mass of their prey (Hayward & Kerley, 2005; Hayward et al., 2006a), whereas cheetah and wild dog prey preferences are significantly predicted by the body mass of their prey and its relative abundance (Hayward et al., 2006b,c).”
• Prey preferences of the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) (Felidae: Carnivora): morphological limitations or the need to capture rapidly consumable prey before kleptoparasites arrive? (2006, methodology): “…mean is shown) and these values were tested for significant preference or avoidance using t-tests against a mean of 0 if they conformed to the assumptions of normality (Kolmogorov–Smirnov test) (Palomares et al., 2001; Hayward & Kerley, 2005; Hayward, de Tores & Banks, 2005; Hayward et al., 2006a).”
• Temporal Partitioning of Activity in Large African Carnivores: Tests of Multiple Hypotheses (2009, background): “…with buffalo and blue wildebeest (Hayward & Kerley 2005); cheetah with impala, Thomson’s gazelle and springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) (Hayward et al. 2006b); leopard with impala and bushbuck (Hayward et al. 2006a); and wild dog with impala, bushbuck and Thomson’s gazelle (Hayward et al. 2006c).”
