• Carrying capacity of large African predators : Predictions and tests (2007, background): “…Africa over different periods yielding 32 groups of population estimates to examine abundance relationships between predators and their prey using more detailed information on prey choice (Hayward, 2006; Hayward et al., 2006a; Hayward et al., 2006b; Hayward and Kerley, 2005; Hayward et al., 2006c).”
• Isotopic evidence for dietary ecology of cave lion (Panthera spelaea) in North-Western Europe: Prey choice, competition and implications for extinction (2011, background): “In the case of the cave lion, fortunately there is a very close modern relative abundantly studied for its dietary ecology (e.g., Breuer, 2005; Funston and Mills, 2006) and for competition with other large predators (Trinkel and Kastberger, 2005; Hayward, 2006).”
• Predation or scavenging? Prey body condition influences decision‐making in a facultative predator, the wolverine (2016, background): “For instance, hyenas which are both scavengers and active hunters (Hayward 2006) turned from predominantly scavenging human food waste, to predation on donkeys during times of religious induced human fasting when no meat waste was available (Yirga et al. 2012).”
• Do fences constrain predator movements on an evolutionary scale? Home range, food intake and movement patterns of large predators reintroduced to Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa (2009, background): “…of significantly preferred prey, which has been shown to improve relationships between lion density and prey biomass (Hayward and Kerley 2005; Hayward 2006; Hayward et al. 2006, 2007e) and therefore probably home range size, because data on the biomass of individual species were rarely…”
• Activity patterns of reintroduced lion Panthera leo and spotted hyaena Crocuta crocuta in the Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa (2007, background): “Lions Panthera leo and spotted hyaenas Crocuta crocuta are the largest members of this guild and their high degree of preferred and actual dietary overlap (Hayward, 2006) has led their competition to be termed ‘the battle of the giants’ (Mills & Harvey, 2001).”
• PREY PREFERENCES OF THE AFRICAN WILD DOG LYCAON PICTUS (CANIDAE: CARNIVORA): ECOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSERVATION (2006, background): “The 3 species within this weight range (ostrich, topi–tsessebe, and hartebeest) are universally avoided by all large African predators (Hayward 2006; Hayward and Kerley 2005; Hayward et al. 2006a, 2006b.”
• Prey preferences and dietary overlap amongst Africa's large predators (2008, background): “…dogs (Hayward et al. 2006c), cheetahs (Hayward et al. 2006b), leopards (Hayward et al. 2006a), lions (Hayward & Kerley 2005) and spotted hyaenas (Hayward 2006), which provided data with which to estimate the potential for dietary overlap (and hence potential 94 South African Journal of Wildlife…”
• Temporal Partitioning of Activity in Large African Carnivores: Tests of Multiple Hypotheses (2009, background): “Spotted hyaenas have no significantly preferred prey species, but prey on the most abundant large mammals at a site (Hayward 2006).”
• Prey preferences of the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) (Felidae: Carnivora): morphological limitations or the need to capture rapidly consumable prey before kleptoparasites arrive? (2006, methodology): “…them and point scans show that gazelles are in fact less common in the vicinity of cheetahs than they are in the vicinity of lions P. leo and spotted hyaenas C. crocuta (Durant, 1998), both of which significantly avoid gazelles as prey (Hayward & Kerley, 2005; Hayward, 2006; Hayward et al., 2006b).”
• African ungulates and their drinking problems: hunting and predation risks constrain access to water (2012, unknown): “Hyaenas show no prey species preference (Hayward 2006).”
