Living with large carnivores: predation on livestock by the snow leopard (Uncia uncia) (2006, methodology): “To assess the adequacy of sample sizes (number of scats examined), we iteratively recorded the occurrence of prey items in five randomly chosen scats at a time, and repeated the procedure until all scats were sampled and cumulative frequencies were obtained (Bagchi et al., 2003).”
Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “For example, in areas with insufficient prey snow leopards can take mostly horses, tigers can kill high numbers of buffaloes and leopards can rely mainly on domestic dogs (Bagchi et al., 2003; Bagchi and Mishra, 2006; Athreya et al., in press).”
