-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2012-10)Accurate estimates of predator densities are important for the conservation management of large predator populations. Predator densities outside of protected areas are often understudied and management decisions are ...
-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2012-10)Transboundary protected areas may be important for the conservation of large African carnivores because these species require large tracts of habitat to maintain viable population numbers and gene flow. Cheetah (Acinonyx ...
-
(AOSIS Open Journals, 2012-10-11)The range use patterns of adult leopards were used to examine the impact of environmental quality on conservation area size in the arid south-western portion of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in southern Africa. The ...
-
(Springer, 2012-10-16)Studies on the effects of off-road driving on soils were conducted in the Makuleke Contractual Park of the Kruger National Park. The studies were conducted on three different soils with different textures and soil ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Springer, 2013)Geographically referenced data on humpback dolphin (Sousa plumbea) distribution and behaviour were collected in Richards Bay, South Africa, between 1998 and 2006. Utilization distributions presented a clear pattern ...
-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2013-04)African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations and their geographic distributions have been greatly reduced due to direct human persecution and habitat reduction; however, remnant groups still manage to persist on private ...
-
(Springer, 2013-08)The ability to determine the prey-specific biomass intake of large predators is fundamental to their conservation. In the absence of actual prey data, researchers generally use a “unit mass” method (estimated as 3/4 ...
-
(Royal Society, 2013-09)This paper provides the first critical analysis of the financing and current capacity for REDD+ readiness in the Congo Basin, with a particular focus on the REDD+ component of national forest monitoring and measurement, ...
-
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014)In Africa, information on time required for plants to develop from seed to mean size and maximum size is scarce. There is also a lack of information regarding accurate relationships between stem diameter, height and ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01-08)Over the last years there has been a massive increase in rhinoceros poaching incidents, with more than two individuals killed per day in South Africa in the first months of 2013. Immediate actions are needed to preserve ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01-21)The Kruger National Park is a stronghold for African wild dog Lycaon pictus and cheetah Acinonyx jubatus conservation in South Africa. Tourist photographic surveys have been used to evaluate the minimum number of wild ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-03)The cheetah Acinonyx jubatus has suffered dramatic range contractions and population declines as a result of habitat degradation, prey depletion and conflict with humans. Of further concern is that many of Africa’s ...
-
(Springer, 2014-04)Ticks and their pathogens cause significant disease and economic loss in many animal populations. Despite this, experiments that test the impact of ticks and tickborne diseases on wild animal populations are rare. ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-04)Interaction among species through competition is a principle process structuring ecological communities, affecting behavior, distribution, and ultimately the population dynamics of species. High competition among large ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-10)The African lion (Panthera Leo) has suffered drastic population and range declines over the last few decades and is listed by the IUCN as vulnerable to extinction. Conservation management requires reliable population ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2014-10)There are considerable challenges in the conservation of large carnivores, caused by large area requirements, low reproduction rates and low population densities coupled with their tendency to cause conflict with humans. ...
-
(Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2014-10)No abstract is available.
-
(Springer, 2014-11)Humans are altering their living environment to an extent that could cause environmental collapse. Promoting change into environmentally sustainability is therefore urgent. Despite a rapid expansion in conservation ...
