Strategic management of livestock to improve biodiversity conservation in African savannahs: a conceptual basis for wildlife-livestock coexistence (2016, background): “African savannas support an unparalleled diversity and abundance of large wild and domestic herbivores and their associated predators (Smithers 1983; Homewood 2008; Craigie et al. 2010).”
When can we trust population trends? A method for quantifying the effects of sampling interval and duration (2019, background): “Therefore, in the absence of better guidance, studies based on population trends often lack the data to make any quantification of uncertainty (e.g. Craigie et al. , 2010, Loh et al. , 2005).”
Using camera trapping and hierarchical occupancy modelling to evaluate the spatial ecology of an African mammal community (2016, background): “The success of conserving biodiversity in these protected areas, however, is mixed (Western, Russell & Cuthill 2009; Craigie et al. 2010; Kiffner, Stoner & Caro 2013).”
The performance of African protected areas for lions and their prey (2017, neutral): “Even under current human population densities, the effectiveness of many PAs at conserving biodiversity is questionable, and many are underperforming (Craigie et al., 2010; Lindsey et al., 2014).”
Continuing wildlife population declines and range contraction in the Mara region of Kenya during 1977-2009 (2011, neutral): “The drastic wildlife declines typify a more widespread pattern in Kenya and in the rest of Africa (Caro & Scholte, 2007; Western et al., 2009; Craigie et al., 2010).”
Protected areas network is not adequate to protect a critically endangered East Africa Chelonian: Modelling distribution of pancake tortoise, Malacochersus tornieri under current and future climates (2020, background): “While protected areas remain an essential approach for conserving and protecting biodiversity against human-mediated threats [15, 32], it could be challenging to protect the endangered species that inhabit areas outside of protected lands [33] such as Kenyan pancake tortoise [18].”
Towards a mechanistic understanding of the responses of large terrestrial mammals to heat and aridity associated with climate change (2016, background): “Despite the creation of more areas that are protected, the large herbivore (above 5 kg) population in Africa halved between 1970 and 2005 [5].”
