• Bias in carnivore diet analysis resulting from misclassification of predator scats based on field identification (2016, background): “…carnivores (Novaro et al. 2000, Phillips et al. 2007, Larson et al. 2015), evaluate interspecific competition between species (Jones and Barmuta 1998, Fedriani et al. 2000), and predict potential human–wildlife conflict and effects on prey populations (Risbey et al. 1999, Bagchi and Mishra 2006).”
• Climate refugia of snow leopards in High Asia (2016, background): “Human-snow leopard conflicts, represented by depredation on livestock and retaliatory killing (Bagchi and Mishra, 2006; Li et al., 2013; Wilman and Wilman, 2016) and snow leopard poaching and trade (Li and Lu, 2014), are great threats to snow leopard conservation.”
• Compensating Human–Wildlife Conflict in Protected Area Communities: Ground-Level Perspectives from Uttarakhand, India (2008, background): “While HWC in the study area has not resulted in the rage or retaliation against wildlife sometimes observed elsewhere in South Asia (e.g., as noted in Bagchi and Mishra 2006; Hussain 2003), diminishing levels of tolerance bode poorly for conservation objectives and human–wildlife relations in the ”
• Snow leopard Panthera uncia predation on livestock and wild prey in a mountain valley in northern Nepal: implications for conservation management (2012, background): “All food studies in theHimalayas have shown that livestock constitutes an important part of the diet of snow leopards (Oli et al. 1993, Chundawat & Rawat 1994, Jackson et al. 1996, Ikeda 2004, Bagchi & Mishra 2006,Namgail et al. 2007, Lovari et al. 2009).”
• Key factors driving attitudes towards large mammals in conflict with humans (2014, background): “For example, Bagchi and Mishra (2006) recorded predation by Snow Leopard in the Kibber and Pin Valleys in Spiti, India.”
• Human-wildlife conflict in the Kingdom of Bhutan: Patterns of livestock predation by large mammalian carnivores (2008, background): “…(Patterson et al., 2004; Kolowski and Holekamp, 2006); snow leopards (U. uncia) in India and Pakistan (Hussain, 2003; Jackson and Wangchuk, 2004; Bagchi and Mishra, 2006) wolves (Canis lupus) in North America (Musiani et al., 2003), puma (Puma concolor) and jaguar (Panthera onca) in South…”
• Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “Livestock predation depends more on favorable conditions for successful hunting (e.g., dense cover or lax husbandry) rather than on mere availability of livestock (Bagchi and Mishra, 2006; Sangay and Vernes, 2008; Kabir et al., 2014).”
• Perceptions of Human–Carnivore Conflicts in the High Andes of Argentina (2008, background): “However, other tools such as insurance schemes, incentive-driven conservation, and eco-tourism (Hussain 2000; Sillero-Zubiri and Laurenson 2001; Hutton and Leader-Williams 2003; Bagchi and Mishra 2006) should also be explored, since it is unlikely that the negative attitude of adults towards carnivo”
• Snow leopard predation in a livestock dominated landscape in Mongolia (2015, methodology): “The model with the lowest AICC value was selected as the best model and models within two AICC units were considered to be of similar support (Burnham and Anderson, 2002).”
• Food habits of the snow leopard Panthera uncia (Schreber, 1775) in Baltistan, Northern Pakistan (2011, background): “2009), India (Chundawat and Rawat 1994; Bagchi and Mishra 2006), and Bhutan (Sangay and Vernes 2008), but diet information from Pakistan are not available.”
• Restoring a keystone predator may endanger a prey species in a human‐altered ecosystem: the return of the snow leopard to Sagarmatha National Park (2009, background): “Predation on livestock can be predicted to increase, together with the decrease of Himalayan tahr, as it tends to be greater in areas where wild prey is scarce (Miller & Jackson, 1994; Schaller, Tserendeleg & Amarsanaa, 1994; Bagchi & Mishra, 2006).”
