Living with large carnivores: predation on livestock by the snow leopard (Uncia uncia) (2006, background): “For example, tigers are also in conflict with pastoralists as 10–12% of their diet consists of livestock in some parts of India (Biswas & Sankar, 2002; Bagchi et al., 2003).”
Diet and prey profiles of three sympatric large carnivores in Bandipur Tiger Reserve, India (2007, methodology): “Other studies (Biswas & Sankar, 2002; Reddy, Srinivasulu & Rao, 2004) have speculated that tigers and other large predators may not take livestock if wild ungulate prey is abundant.”
Spatial organization and food habits of jaguars (Panthera onca) in a floodplain forest (2007, methodology): “Our detection of carcasses of prey killed may have been biased in favor of larger prey; to minimize this influence, we focused on the scat sample analysis (Karanth and Sunquist, 2000; Vos, 2000; Biswas and Sankar, 2002).”
Prey abundance and prey selection by tigers ( Panthera tigris ) in a semi-arid, dry deciduous forest in western India (2003, methodology): “This method is efficient (Anderson et al., 2001) and has been widely applied in tropical forests (Karanth & Sunquist, 1992; Varman & Sukumar, 1995; Khan et al., 1996; Biswas & Sankar, 2002) as it provides relatively unbiased results if certain assumptions are met (Buckland et al., 1993).”
Food Habits and Livestock Depredation of Sympatric Jaguars and Pumas in the Iguaçu National Park Area, South Brazil (2008, background): “%) to infer the effect of sample size on the final dietary results (Biswas & Sankar 2002).”
Rusa unicolor (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) (2011, background): “…individuals/km2 in moist and dry deciduous tropical forests in India (Bagchi et al. 2003b; Balakrishnan and Easa 1986; Berwick and Jordan 1971; Biswas and Sankar 2002; Jathanna et al. 2003; Karanth and Sunquist 1992, 1995; Khan et al. 1996; Kurt 1978; Varman and Sukumar 1993); 0.70–1.17…”
Monitoring of Reintroduced Tigers in Sariska Tiger Reserve, Western India: Preliminary Findings on Home Range, Prey Selection and Food Habits (2010, methodology): “The biomass and number of individuals of the prey consumed by tigers was estimated using Ackerman’s equation [42] to get a more accurate estimate of prey consumption [31-34].”
Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “For instance, for practical reasons prey populations are often studied in relatively small high-density enclaves or protected areas, which may represent the areas of low predation on livestock (Biswas and Sankar, 2002).”
Human-wildlife conflict in the Kingdom of Bhutan: Patterns of livestock predation by large mammalian carnivores (2008, background): “Similarly, leopards in India take prey generally weighing less than 50 kg (Johnsingh, 1992), while prey taken by tigers there average about 82 kg (Biswas and Sankar, 2002).”
