  • An assessment of diet overlap of two mesocarnivores in the North West Province, South Africa 
    Van der Merwe, Ingrid; Tambling, Craig J.; Thorn, Michelle; Scott, Dawn M.; Yarnell, Richard W.; Green, Matthew; Cameron, Elissa Z.; Bateman, Philip W. (Zoological Society of Southern Africa, 2009-10)
    We used scat analysis to study the diet of two sympatric medium-sized carnivores: brown hyaena and black-backed jackal, in the NorthWest Province of South Africa. Seven major dietary categories were identified from the ...
  • Does science serve the wildlife industry? A critique of von Brandis & Reilly (2008) 
    De Bruyn, P.J. Nico; Landman, Marietjie; Tambling, Craig J.; Verburgt, Luke (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2009-04)
    Throughout the world, terrestrial mammals are hunted for sport, subsistence and population control, providing a significant source of meat and income to communities (Milner et al. 2007). The game ranching industry in South ...
  • Ecological and financial impacts of illegal bushmeat trade in Zimbabwe 
    Lindsey, Peter Andrew; Romanach, S.S.; Tambling, Craig J.; Chartier, K.; Groom, R.J. (Rosemary) (Cambridge University Press, 2011-01)
    Under conditions of political instability and economic decline illegal bushmeat hunting has emerged as a serious conservation threat in Zimbabwe. Following settlement of game ranches by subsistence farming communities ...
  • Estimating carnivoran diets using a combination of carcass observations and scats from GPS clusters 
    Tambling, Craig J.; Laurence, S.D.; Bellan, S.E.; Cameron, Elissa Z.; Du Toit, Johan T.; Getz, Wayne Marcus (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-02)
    Scat analysis is one of the most frequently used methods to assess carnivoran diets, and global positioning system (GPS) cluster methods are increasingly being used to locate feeding sites for large carnivorans. However, ...
  • From moonlight to movement and synchronized randomness : Fourier and wavelet analyses of animal location time series data 
    Polansky, Leo; Wittemyer, George; Cross, Paul C.; Tambling, Craig J.; Getz, Wayne Marcus (Ecological Society of America, 2010-05)
    High-resolution animal location data are increasingly available, requiring analytical approaches and statistical tools that can accommodate the temporal structure and transient dynamics (non-stationarity) inherent in ...
  • Underperformance of African protected area networks and the case for new conservation models : insights from Zambia 
    Lindsey, Peter Andrew; Nyirenda, Vincent R.; Barnes, Jonathan I.; Becker, Matthew S.; McRobb, Rachel; Tambling, Craig J.; Taylor, William Andrew; Watson, Frederick G.; t'Sas-Rolfes, Michael; Russo, Danilo (Public Library of Science, 2014-05-21)
    Many African protected areas (PAs) are not functioning effectively. We reviewed the performance of Zambia’s PA network and provide insights into how their effectiveness might be improved. Zambia’s PAs are under-performing ...
  • The Zambian wildlife ranching industry : scale associated benefits, and limitations affecting its development 
    Lindsey, Peter Andrew; Barnes, Jonathan I.; Nyirenda, Vincent R.; Pumfrett, Belinda; Tambling, Craig J.; Taylor, William Andrew; t'Sas-Rolfes, Michael; Roberts, David L. (Public Library of Science, 2013-12-18)
    The number and area of wildlife ranches in Zambia increased from 30 and 1,420 km2 in 1997 to 177 and ,6,000 km2 by 2012. Wild ungulate populations on wildlife ranches increased from 21,000 individuals in 1997 to ,91,000 ...
