• Tools for the Edge: What's New for Conserving Carnivores (2006, background): “For rare, large predators, reserves will probably never be big enough, and transgression beyond their edges will continue to lead to the death of individuals and sometimes the decline of species (Woodroffe and Ginsberg 1998, Woodroffe 2001).”
• Lethal control of African lions (Panthera leo): local and regional population impacts (2005, background): “As human populations have expanded and developed, all of the world’s large carnivores have experienced major contractions in their geographical ranges, often becoming confined to areas (particularly protected areas) where human densities are low (Linnell, Swenson & Andersen, 2001; Woodroffe, 2001).”
• The Rise of the Mesopredator (2009, background): “…lupus) in Asia, North America, and Europe to jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Americas and lions (Panthera leo) and wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in Africa, these efforts have resulted in the complete eradication or severe range reduction of large carnivores throughout the world (Gittleman et al. 2001).”
• Utility of a psychological framework for carnivore conservation (2012, background): “More recently, several conflict-prone carnivore species, including African wild dog Lycaon pictus, spotted hyaena Crocuta crocuta and grizzly bear Ursus arctos horribilis have declined because of human persecution (Woodroffe, 2001).”
• Food Habits and Livestock Depredation of Sympatric Jaguars and Pumas in the Iguaçu National Park Area, South Brazil (2008, background): “Under these circumstances, predator–livestock conflicts are expected to increase as cats expand their diet to include livestock as an alternative source of food (Schaller & Crawshaw 1980, Schaller 1983, Woodroffe 2001).”
• Altered behaviour in spotted hyenas associated with increased human activity (2003, background): “…human population density is often associated with decline or extinction of local carnivore populations (Woodroffe & Ginsberg, 1998; Woodroffe & Ginsberg, 1998, 2000), few studies have examined how human activity directly affects large carnivores (Frank & Woodroffe, 2001; Sunquist & Sunquist, 2001).”
• WCS Working Paper No. 24 - Setting conservation and research priorities for larger African carnivores (2005, background): “than small ones (Linnell et al. 2001; Mills et al. 2001; Woodroffe 2001; Treves & Karanth 2003); and 4) larger carnivores tend to excite more interest and trigger emotional responses in people at local, national and international levels, so they may catalyze action more easily.”
• A Meta-Analysis of Human–Wildlife Conflict: South African and Global Perspectives (2016, background): “These include: (1) reduction or severe fragmentation in its geographic range; (2) small, declining or low density population; (3) low reproductive rate; (4) large home range requirements; (5) reduced genetic variability; (6) special niche requirements; and (7) harvested by people for trophies, bush ”
