• Savanna herbivore dynamics in a livestock-dominated landscape. II: Ecological, conservation, and management implications of predator restoration (2007, background): “Wild dogs had little impact because they did not return to Laikipia until 2000, which was long after prey declines had begun, did not achieve similar densities to protected populations for a further 5 years, and largely ranged across group ranches (Woodroffe et al., 2005 and personal communication).”
• Peri-urban spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) in Northern Ethiopia: diet, economic impact, and abundance (2010, background): “Studies elsewhere have shown that tolerance of predators by local communities usually depends on the extent of predation on their livestock (Holmern et al. 2007; Kolowski and Holekamp 2006; Patterson et al. 2004; Rasmussen 1999; Woodroffe et al. 2005).”
• Human–wildlife conflict in northern Botswana: livestock predation by Endangered African wild dog Lycaon pictus and other carnivores (2009, background): “Endangered African wild dog Lycaon pictus are persecuted throughout their shrinking range in sub-Saharan Africa for allegedly predating livestock (Rasmussen, 1999; Woodroffe et al., 2005; IUCN, 2007).”
• Lethal control of African lions (Panthera leo): local and regional population impacts (2005, background): “Like other studies of human–wildlife conflict (e.g. Stahl et al., 2002; Sitati et al., 2003; Treves et al., 2004; Woodroffe et al., 2005), we found that livestock predation by lions was patchily distributed.”
• Forecasting Environmental Hazards and the Application of Risk Maps to Predator Attacks on Livestock (2011, background): “Around the world, it is common for people to kill wildlife indiscriminately when they perceive them as threats (Karanth and Madhusudan 2002, Treves and NaughtonTreves 2005, Woodroffe and Frank 2005, Woodroffe et al. 2005).”
• Rates and causes of mortality in Endangered African wild dogs Lycaon pictus: lessons for management and monitoring (2007, methodology): “New findings suggest that, under some circumstances, wild dogs may be able to persist in areas devoted to game or livestock farming (Lindsey et al., 2005; Woodroffe et al., 2005b), potentially opening up much larger areas of Africa for wild dog conservation.”
