Spatiotemporal patterns of lion space use in a human-dominated landscape (2015, background): “Finally, we predicted that lions' behavioural adjustments in response to people and livestock should be influenced by environmental conditions that affect their hunting success of wild prey and detection by people (Funston et al. 2001; Patterson et al. 2004; Schaller, 1972; Van Orsdol, 1984; Woodrof”
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).”
Livestock predation by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, and their vulnerability to retaliatory killing in the Maasai steppe, Tanzania (2008, background): “In Africa, habitat fragmentation and persecution by humans is linked to the disappearance of wild dogs Lycaon pictus and to the decline in cheetah Acinonyx jubatus and lions Panthera leo in most of their historical ranges such that current populations are largely restricted to isolated reserves (Woo”
A Meta-Analysis of Human–Wildlife Conflict: South African and Global Perspectives (2016, background): “Human–carnivore conflict is likely to occur in areas in which the natural habitats of carnivores have been transformed into farmland and indigenous, natural prey species have been displaced by domestic livestock [80], especially those species that feed nocturnally and opportunistically, enabling the”
Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “Farm reports are the most accurate, but their published data are only few (Patterson et al., 2004; Schiess-Meier et al., 2007; Wegge et al., 2012).”
Living with large carnivores: predation on livestock by the snow leopard (Uncia uncia) (2006, background): “, 2000), tigers Panthera tigris in south Asia (Bagchi, Goyal & Sankar, 2003), and lions Panthera leo in Africa (Patterson et al., 2004) enter into conflict with humans because of livestock predation.”
Human-wildlife conflict in the Kingdom of Bhutan: Patterns of livestock predation by large mammalian carnivores (2008, background): “Well known examples of human–carnivore conflict include hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) and lions (P. leo) in Africa (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”
Ecologically justified charisma: preservation of top predators delivers biodiversity conservation (2006, background): “For example, proactive and reactive compensation schemes for livestock losses to predators easily added up locally to US$ 100 000 year−1 (Yalden 1993; Patterson et al. 2004), while at the individual household”
Evaluation of a compensation scheme to bring about pastoralist tolerance of lions (2009, background): “%) is similar to the value of 2.4% recorded by Patterson et al. (2004) for ranches adjacent to the nearby Tsavo National Park.”
Spatial, temporal, and physical characteristics of livestock depredations by large carnivores along a Kenyan reserve border (2006, background): “While studies on commercial ranches have found approximately 25% of livestock attacks to occur on grazing herds (Ogada et al., 2003; Patterson et al., 2004), pastoral ranches have documented up to 90% of predator attacks to be directed at grazing herds (Kruuk, 1981).”
The effects of pastoralism and protection on the density and distribution of carnivores and their prey in the Mara ecosystem of Kenya (2005, background): “The depredation incidences peak in the wet season when wild prey availability is lowest (Karani, 1994; Patterson et al., 2004 ) and are highest closest to the reserve boundary (Mwangi, 1997), suggesting that the reserve acts as a reservoir for stock-raiding and dispersing predators that recolonize ”
