The Rise of the Mesopredator (2009, background): “However, these programs can be subject to fraud and provide no incentive for ranchers to take steps that reduce conflict, such as using guard animals or improving pens (Baker et al. 2008).”

Seven considerations about dingoes as biodiversity engineers: the socioecological niches of dogs in Australia (2012, background): “Wild carnivores have been and are still viewed by many as competitors for human resources (e.g. Treves and Karanth 2003; Baker et al. 2008) and have been extirpated inmany areas of co-occurrencewith humans (Williamson 1996; Berger et al.”
Wildlife in a Politically Divided World: Insularism Inflates Estimates of Brown Bear Abundance (2016, background): “After all, visiting “nonresident” animals still contribute to biodiversity, provide ecosystem services, are available for consumptive and nonconsumptive use, or may be a risk to humans (Packer et al. 2005) and their property (e.g., livestock; Baker et al. 2008).”
