• Carnivores, urban landscapes, and longitudinal studies: a case history of black bears (2008, background): “…of corridors or linkage areas (Torres et al. 1996, Prange et al. 2004), (4) disease ecology of populations (Frolich et al. 2005), (5) diets (Craighead et al. 1995, Burgess 2000, Beckmann and Berger 2003b, Ziegltrum 2008), and (6) mortality (Woodroffe and Ginsberg 2000, Grinder and Krausman 2001).”
• Land sharing is essential for snow leopard conservation (2016, background): “Understanding home range size and social organization is critical for predicting the number of animals that can be sustained within conservation areas, and thus for predicting long-term population viability (Balme et al., 2010; Woodroffe and Ginsberg, 2000).”
• Olfactory predator recognition: wallabies may have to learn to be wary (2002, background): “…in global extinction has been particularly effective at reducing the numbers of terrestrial carnivores – particularly large ones (Berger, 1999; Woodroffe & Ginsberg, 2000) – and the loss of these important predators may have profound effects on the structure and function of the communities…”
• Rapid ecological and behavioural changes in carnivores: the responses of black bears (Ursus americanus) to altered food (2003, background): “The maintenance of biological diversity at the urban–wildland interface will be a challenge because for some taxa, including carnivores, populations tend to decrease as human influences increase (Vucetich & Creel, 1999; Woodroffe & Ginsberg, 2000).”
• Altered behaviour in spotted hyenas associated with increased human activity (2003, background): “…increasing 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…”
• Survival rates and causes of mortality in Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in multi-use landscapes (2006, background): “Few other large carnivore studies have comparative data on juvenile survival, however, this pattern of human caused mortality being dominant for adults is similar to that of other large carnivores living in multi-use landscapes, and even in protected areas (Woodroffe and Ginsberg, 2000).”
• Relationships among grizzly bears, highways, and habitat in the Banff-Bow Valley, Alberta, Canada (2003, background): “In view of their great mobility and extensive spatial requirements for survival, large mammalian carnivores are vulnerable to road effects (Noss et al. 1996; Woodroffe and Ginsberg 2000).”
• Scientific approaches to enrichment and stereotypies in zoo animals: what's been done and where should we go next? (2005, background): “Species with larger home range size are also more vulnerable to extinction [Woodroffe and Ginsberg, 2000], which may mean that many species that are endangered are also more vulnerable to stereotypy development.”
• Do fences constrain predator movements on an evolutionary scale? Home range, food intake and movement patterns of large predators reintroduced to Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa (2009, background): “Ultimately, the effects of prey abundance on density and space use affects the conservation of a species (Woodroffe and Ginsberg 2000).”
• Prey density, environmental productivity and home-range size in the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) (2005, background): “However, the importance of the use of space for management and conservation has been realized for far longer (Burt, 1943; Woodroffe & Ginsberg, 2000).”
• Umbrella species: critique and lessons from East Africa (2003, background): “Woodroffe & Ginsberg (1998, 2000) found that the critical reserve size for large carnivores was significantly correlated with female range size.”
• Ecological, Behavioral, and Life‐History Correlates of Mammal Extinctions in West Africa (2003, background): “This finding is consistent with other studies of carnivore persistence in fragmented and heavily hunted habitats (e.g., FitzGibbon 1998; Woodroffe & Ginsberg 2000).”
• INDIVIDUAL VARIATION IN SPACE USE BY FEMALE SPOTTED HYENAS (2003, background): “Vulnerability to ‘‘edge effects’’ is a significant contributor to local extinction of mammalian predators inhabiting protected areas, and sizes of female home ranges can be used to predict the critical size of reserves needed to sustain populations of carnivores (Woodroffe and Ginsberg 1998, 2000).”
