Strategic management of livestock to improve biodiversity conservation in African savannahs: a conceptual basis for wildlife-livestock coexistence (2016, background): “While some losses to predation are inevitable (Kissui 2008), herding of livestock during daytime foraging will be critical for reducing losses to predation, as well as for reducing associated retaliatory killings of predators (combined with regular monitoring by wildlife officers).”
Utility of a psychological framework for carnivore conservation (2012, background): “For instance, Kissui (2008) found that cultural sentiments of local people towards African lions Panthera leo, leopards Panthera pardus and spotted hyaenas influenced the vulnerability of those species to retaliatory killing.”
Big cats kill more livestock when wild prey reaches a minimum threshold (2015, background): “In some areas, cats kill livestock mostly during the wet season when prey disperses into lush vegetation, regains fitness and thus becomes less available, whereas livestock enters these areas for uncontrolled grazing (Polisar et al., 2003; Patterson et al., 2004; Kissui, 2008).”
Occupancy patterns and niche partitioning within a diverse carnivore community exposed to anthropogenic pressures (2013, background): “Despite this, the practice of retaliatory spearing and poisoning of carcasses, which have been widespread across East Africa (Hazzah et al., 2009; Kissui, 2008; Virani et al., 2011), have been uncommon locally for at least the past decade (Kenya Wildlife Service, unpublished data).”
Does colour matter? The influence of animal warning coloration on human emotions and willingness to protect them (2013, background): “The most common entity used by conservation groups is species (Kaltenborn et al., 2006; Clucas, McHugh & Caro, 2008; Kissui, 2008; Ballouard, Brischoux & Bonnet, 2011).”
A Meta-Analysis of Human–Wildlife Conflict: South African and Global Perspectives (2016, background): “This highly adaptable species occupies the broadest geographic range [69] and is better adapted to utilise human-dominated environments, such as farms, than other large predators [71,72].”
