Linking Movement Ecology with Wildlife Management and Conservation (2016, background): “Migration consists of seasonal, round-trip movements between spatially disjunct areas (Mueller and Fagan, 2008; Harris et al., 2009).”
Green‐wave surfing increases fat gain in a migratory ungulate (2018, background): “Thus, exploring the link between green-wave surfing and fitness may help us understand why migratory ungulates are declining in some altered climate regimes and landscapes (Bolger et al. 2008, Harris et al. 2009), and inform future mitigation and restoration efforts.”
Strategic management of livestock to improve biodiversity conservation in African savannahs: a conceptual basis for wildlife-livestock coexistence (2016, background): “Shortcomings of conservation strategies in Africa have been exposed in the last decade with the realization that most protected areas (PAs) do not meet the needs of mobile species adapted to coping with strong spatial and temporal variability in resources (Harris et al. 2009; Craigie et al. 2010; Fy”
Prevalence and Mechanisms of Partial Migration in Ungulates (2019, background): “, 2016), to loss of wildlife tourismbased dollars normally used for environmental protection of Africa’s most iconic species (Harris et al., 2009; Holdo et al., 2011).”
Competition, predation, and migration: Individual choice patterns of Serengeti migrants captured by hierarchical models (2014, background): “The global decline of terrestrial mammal migrations has raised serious concerns about the persistence of this unique landscape-scale biological process (Harris et al. 2009).”
Characterizing properties and drivers of long distance movements by elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the Gourma, Mali (2013, background): “Many systems involving long-distance movements by animals are under critical threat or have been lost due to human impacts and environmental change (Harris et al., 2009; Dobson et al., 2010).”
In search of greener pastures: Using satellite images to predict the effects of environmental change on zebra migration (2013, background): “[3] Migratory behavior increases extinction risk [McKinney, 1997] because large ungulates exploit multiple seasonal habitats, and so they are particularly susceptible to habitat loss and fragmentation [Harris et al., 2009].”
A Global Deal For Nature: Guiding principles, milestones, and targets (2019, positive): “2) A map of range rarity derived from the IUCN Red List data for the world’s birds, mammals, and amphibians, showing where sites supporting high densities of narrow-range species remain un-protected.”
Habitat selection by mule deer during migration: effects of landscape structure and natural-gas development (2012, background): “…generally occur along traditional routes (Baker 1978, McCullough 1985, Andersen 1991), many of which have been disrupted, especially over the past 4 decades, because of human activities (e.g., anthropogenic barriers and habitat loss; Sawyer et al. 2005, Harris et al. 2009, Beckmann et al. 2012).”
Will reconnecting ecosystems allow long-distance mammal migrations to resume? A case study of a zebra Equus burchelli migration in Botswana (2011, background): “…in both number and size over the last century and many of those that still occur are believed to be under threat (Berger, 2004), primarily from uncontrolled hunting and habitat fragmentation because of human encroachment from arable farming, pastoralism and urbanization (Harris et al., 2009).”
Continuing wildlife population declines and range contraction in the Mara region of Kenya during 1977-2009 (2011, positive): “Populations of many wildlife species have declined substantially inside and outside protected areas in Africa (Ogutu & Owen-Smith, 2003; Owen-Smith &Mills, 2006; Stoner et al., 2006, 2007; Caro & Scholte, 2007; Bolger et al., 2008; Harris et al., 2009; Ogutu et al., 2009; Western, Russell & Cuthill,”
