Monitoring carnivore populations at the landscape scale: occupancy modelling of tigers from sign surveys (2011, methodology): “Although alternative models hypothesize a greater influence of direct hunting (Chapron et al. 2008), the prey depletion model has since then been supported by rigorous field studies of tiger:prey density ratios (Karanth et al.”
Female tiger Panthera tigris home range size and prey abundance: important metrics for management (2014, background): “Poaching, reduced carrying capacity and the loss of the land area available to tigers have been identified as the key threats to the species (Kenny et al., 1995; Chapron et al., 2008; Seidensticker, 2010).”
Spatial structure of Amur (Siberian) tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) on Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Zapovednik, Russia (2010, background): “Such information may aid in determining the minimum population sizes necessary for long-term species survival (Chapron et al. 2008; Lott 1984; Miquelle et al. 1999a).”
Trio under threat: can we secure the future of rhinos, elephants and tigers in Malaysia? (2010, background): “For tigers, Chapron et al. (2008) demonstrated that poaching is by far the most serious short-term threat (vis-a `-vis habitat loss and fragmentation) as it reduces populations beyond a recovery threshold.”
