• Edge effects and the impact of non‐protected areas in carnivore conservation: leopards in the Phinda–Mkhuze Complex, South Africa (2010, methodology): “To test this, we compared the RAIs of the six prey species, lions and hyaenas with independent density estimates in Rowe-Rowe (1992), Balme et al. (2007), Hunter et al. (2007) and annual counts of ungulates from Mkhuze derived using ground-based distance sampling (EKZNW, unpubl. data).”
• Habitat heterogeneity and mammalian predator–prey interactions (2012, background): “Mammal Review © 2011 Mammal Society, Mammal Review, 42, 55–77 Studying kill and carcass locations (e.g. Hopcraft et al. 2005, Balme et al. 2007, Kauffman et al. 2007) represents the final part of the predation process but, if done in isolation, does not allow distinction between the different…”
• Impact of conservation interventions on the dynamics and persistence of a persecuted leopard (Panthera pardus) population (2009, methodology): “We used a road strip sampling technique to estimate the abundance of the six primary prey species (nyala, impala Aepyceros melampus, grey duiker Sylvicarpa grimmia, red duiker Cephalophus natalensis, reedbuck Redunca arundinum, and warthog Phacochoerus aethiopicus) of leopards in Phinda (see Balme e”
• Microhabitat selection by Eurasian lynx and its implications for species conservation (2008, background): “It is important that habitat provides both sufficient cover for the predator as well as good visibility of the prey (Balme et al. 2007).”
• Panthera pardus (Carnivora: Felidae) (2013, background): “P. pardus will eat grass (Isachne beuttneri and Streptogyna crinite-Hoppe-Dominik 1988) and drink water every 2.7 days in the Kalahari, South Africa (Bothma 2005) .”
• Competition, predation, and migration: Individual choice patterns of Serengeti migrants captured by hierarchical models (2014, background): “Landscape features such as dense thickets or drainage beds conceal predators or provide predictable locations where predators might encounter prey (Hebblewhite et al. 2005, Hopcraft et al. 2005, Balme et al. 2007, Kauffman et al. 2007, Valeix et al. 2009, Anderson et al. 2010).”
