Empirical Evidence of Density- Dependence in Populations of Large Herbivores (2009, background): “…reported in red deer (Loison and Langvatn, 1998), Soay sheep (Coulson et al., 2001), saı̈ga antelope (Coulson et al., 2000), zebra (Equus quagga) (Georgiadis et al., 2003), bighorn sheep (Portier et al., 1998), moose (Crête and Courtois, 1997; Mech et al., 1987), reindeer (Solberg et al.,…”
Lethal control of African lions (Panthera leo): local and regional population impacts (2005, background): “Zebras, lions’ principle prey in Laikipia, declined markedly ( Georgiadis, Hack & Turpin, 2003a ), and this may have forced lions to seek alternative prey when the drought ended.”
Savanna herbivore dynamics in a livestock-dominated landscape. II: Ecological, conservation, and management implications of predator restoration (2007, methodology): “Quotas were initially set at 15% of the censused population size, but were later reduced ( Georgiadis et al., 2003 ).”
Competition and compensation among cattle, zebras, and elephants in a semi-arid savanna in Laikipia, Kenya (2005, background): “The demonstrated suppression of zebra presence by cattle occurred during a relatively dry period; Laikipia was just coming out of one of the worst droughts on record ( Georgiadis et al., 2003 ).”
