Estimating lion population variables: prey and disease effects in Kruger National Park, South Africa. (2010, background): “2005), retribution killing of stock-raiding lions (Woodroffe and Frank 2005) and excessive trophy hunting (Loveridge et al. 2007) or poaching.”
Camera-trapping forest–woodland wildlife of western Uganda reveals how gregariousness biases estimates of relative abundance and distribution (2010, background): “Large carnivores often suffer higher mortality near the edges of protected areas, leading to local extinction from small ones (Balme et al., in press; Loveridge et al., 2007; Woodroffe and Ginsberg, 1998).”
Collective Vigilance in the Greater Kudu: Towards a Better Understanding of Synchronization Patterns (2012, background): “Indeed, a previous study in HNP showed that buffalos, giraffes and kudus are the preferred prey for lions in this area (Loveridge et al. 2007a), and ungulate species that endure high levels of risk in the African savannah usually display high vigilance (Hunter & Skinner 1998; Pays et al. 2007b).”
How key habitat features influence large terrestrial carnivore movements: waterholes and African lions in a semi-arid savanna of north-western Zimbabwe (2010, methodology): “…were closely monitored in the study area, of which 11 female and 8 male adults were fitted with GPS Simplex radio-collars (female: 900 g, male: 950 g; Televilt Positioning AB, Lindesberg, Sweden; see Loveridge et al. 2007 for details) and provided regular and continuous data over long periods.”
Does the risk of encountering lions influence African herbivore behaviour at waterholes? (2009, methodology): “Study site Hwange National Park (HNP) covers c. 15,000 km2 of semi-arid dystrophic savanna in north-western Zimbabwe (19°00′ S, 26°30′ E).”
Elephant-induced structural changes in the vegetation and habitat selection by large herbivores in an African savanna (2011, background): “Impala and steenbok represent minor prey items for lions (Loveridge et al., 2007b).”
