(Elsevier, 2016-09)
    Trophy hunting plays a significant role in wildlife conservation in some contexts in various parts of the world. Yet excessive hunting is contributing to species declines, especially for large carnivores. Simulation ...
  • Conservation implications of brown hyaena (Parahyaena brunnea) population densities and distribution across landscapes in Botswana 
    Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Maude, Glyn; Neo-Mahupeleng, Gosiame; Klein, Rebecca; Boast, Lorraine; Rich, Lindsey N.; Somers, Michael J. (AOSIS Open Journals, 2017-05-23)
    The brown hyaena (Parahyaena brunnea) is endemic to southern Africa. The largest population of this near-threatened species occurs in Botswana, but limited data were available to assess distribution and density. Our ...
  • Conserving large carnivores : dollars and fence

(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-05)
    Conservationists often advocate for landscape approaches to wildlife management while others argue for physical separation between protected species and human communities, but direct empirical comparisons of these alternatives ...
  • Demographic consequences of habitat loss and crowding in large carnivores : a natural experiment 
    Kotze, Robynne; Marshal, Jason P.; Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Winterbach, Hanlie Evelyn Kathleen; Keith, Mark (Wiley, 2021-03)
    Habitat loss is one of largest threats to the persistence of large carnivore populations. However, because most large carnivores are long-lived, cryptic and wide-ranging, few studies examine the demographic consequences ...
  • Key factors and related principles in the conservation of large African carnivores 
    Winterbach, Hanlie Evelyn Kathleen; Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Somers, Michael J.; Hayward, Matt W. (Wiley, 2013)
    1. Large carnivores are a critical component of Africa’s biodiversity, and their conservation requires a clear understanding of interactions between large carnivores and people. 2. By reviewing existing literature, we ...
  • Landscape suitability in Botswana for the conservation of its six large African carnivores 
    Winterbach, Hanlie Evelyn Kathleen; Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Somers, Michael J.; Russo, Danilo (Public Library of Science, 2014-06-20)
    Wide-ranging large carnivores often range beyond the boundaries of protected areas into human-dominated areas. Mapping out potentially suitable habitats on a country-wide scale and identifying areas with potentially high ...
  • Relative availability of natural prey versus livestock predicts landscape suitability for cheetahs Acinonyx jubatus in Botswana 
    Winterbach, Hanlie Evelyn Kathleen; Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Boast, Lorraine K.; Klein, Rebecca; Somers, Michael J. (PeerJ, 2015-07-09)
    Prey availability and human-carnivore conflict are strong determinants that govern the spatial distribution and abundance of large carnivore species and determine the suitability of areas for their conservation. For ...
  • Simplified large African carnivore density estimators from track indices 
    Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Ferreira, Sam M.; Funston, Paul J.; Somers, Michael J. (PeerJ, 2016-12-22)
    BACKGROUND: The range, population size and trend of large carnivores are important parameters to assess their status globally and to plan conservation strategies. One can use linear models to assess population size and ...
  • Wildlife abundance and diversity as indicators of tourism potential in Northern Botswana 
    Winterbach, Christiaan W.; Whitesell, Carolyn; Somers, Michael J. (Public Library of Science, 2015-08-26)
    Wildlife tourism can provide economic incentives for conservation. Due to the abundance of wildlife and the presence of charismatic species some areas are better suited to wildlife tourism. Our first objective was to ...
