- Cascading Consequences of the Loss of Large Mammals in an African Savanna (2014, background): “In a comparative study in Tanzania, Caro (2001, 2002) found lower densities of small mammals inside a national park than in an area outside of the park that sustained agriculture and pastoralism and had lower densities of large mammals.”
- 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 abundance and species richness of small mammals has also been found to be greater outside than inside a national park in western Tanzania (Caro, 2001), perhaps supporting a hypothesis of competitor release.”
- Usefulness of the Umbrella Species Concept as a Conservation Tool (2004, background): “Finally and most important, none of the studies listed in Table 2 (except Caro 2001, 2003) provides a direct evaluation of the basic assumption of the umbrella species concept, to show that the conservation measures directed at the umbrella species actually protect many other species.”
- Umbrella species: critique and lessons from East Africa (2003, methodology): “Relative abundances were calculated as number of different individuals captured divided by the number of trap-nights × 100, and species richness as the number of different species captured per grid (see Caro, 2001 for details).”
- Recommendations for Assessing the Effectiveness of Surrogate Species Approaches (2006, background): “Additional reasons for lack of effectiveness include insufficient habitat overlap (Caro 2001; Ricketts et al. 2002), lack of habitat specificity (Ricketts et al.”
