- Warring brothers: The complex interactions between wolves (Canis lupus) and dogs (Canis familiaris) in a conservation context (2014, unknown): “The role of dogs as prey or predators in various ecosystems is well documented (Butler et al., 2004, 2014) but while wolf pre-dation on dogs is widely known from the grey and popular literature, it is not well documented in the scientific literature (Butler et al., 2014).”
- The Effects of Dogs on Wildlife Communities (2008, background): “In Zimbabwe, Butler et al. (2004) note that free-ranging dogs are the most common carnivore in a communal land bordering a reserve, where they are often preyed upon by native carnivores, creating positive conditions for disease transmission.”
