  • Complex ways in which landscape conditions and risks affect human attitudes towards wildlife 
    Muneza, Arthur B.; Amakobe, Bernard; Kasaine, Simon; Kramer, Daniel B.; Githiru, Mwangi; Roloff, Gary J.; Hayward, Matt W.; Montgomery, Robert A. (Medknow Publications, 2022-10)
    Negative interactions between humans and wildlife (i.e. those presenting risks to human security or private property) can trigger retaliation and potential human-wildlife conflict (HWC). The nature and strength of these ...

    Hayward, Matt W.; Ward-Fear, Georgia; ’Hotellier, Felicity L.; Herman, Kerryn; Kabat, Alexander P.; Gibbons, James P. (Wiley, 2016-12)
    Ecosystem engineers directly or indirectly affect the availability of resources through changing the physical state of biotic and/or abiotic materials. Fossorial ecosystem engineers have been hypothesized as affecting ...
  • Diet and prey preferences of dholes (Cuon alpinus) : dietary competition within Asia's apex predator guild 
    Hayward, Matt W.; Lyngdoh, Salvador; Habib, Bilal (Wiley, 2014-12)
    Group-hunting predators theoretically benefit from hunting together through increased prey returns; however, studies on lions suggest food is not enough. The dhole is one such group hunter; however, its predatory role ...
  • Ecologists need robust survey designs, sampling and analytical methods 
    Hayward, Matt W.; Boitani, Luigi; Burrows, Neil D.; Funston, Paul J.; Karanth, K. Ullas; MacKenzie, Darryl I.; Pollock, Ken H.; Yarnell, Richard W. (Wiley, 2015-04)
    1. Research that yields conflicting results rightly causes controversy. Where methodological weaknesses are apparent, there is ready opportunity for discord within the scientific community, which may undermine the entire ...
  • Editorial : how prides of lion researchers are evolving to be interdisciplinary 
    Montgomery, Robert A.; Kissui, Bernard M.; Hayward, Matt W. (Frontiers Media, 2019-10-01)
    Lions (Panthera leo) are one of the most charismatic, enigmatic, and polarizing species on the planet (Macdonald et al., 2015; Albert et al., 2018; Courchamp et al., 2018). Human connections to lions, as functional members ...
  • Effect of prey mass and selection on predator carrying capacity estimates 
    Jooste, Esmarie; Hayward, Matt W.; Pitman, Ross T.; Swanepoel, Lourens Hendrik (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 ...
  • Factors affecting the prey preferences of jackals (Canidae) 
    Hayward, Matt W.; Porter, Laura; Lanszki, Jozsef; Kamler, Jan F.; Beck, Jacalyn M.; Kerley, Graham I.H.; Macdonald, David W.; Montgomery, Robert A.; Parker, Daniel M.; Scott, Dawn M.; O'Brien, John; Yarnell, Richard W. (Elsevier, 2017-07)
    Prey selection by carnivores can be affected by top-down and bottom-up factors. For example, large carnivores may facilitate food resources for mesocarnivores by providing carcasses to scavenge, however mesocarnivores may ...
  • Fear of the dark? A mesopredator mitigates large carnivore risk through nocturnality, but humans moderate the interaction 
    Haswell, Peter M.; Kusak, Josip; Jones, Katherine A.; Hayward, Matt W. (Springer, 2020-05)
    While constrained by endogenous rhythms, morphology and ecology, animals may still exhibit flexible activity patterns in response to risk. Temporal avoidance of interspecific aggression can enable access to resources ...
  • Fear, foraging and olfaction : how mesopredators avoid costly interactions with apex predators 
    Haswell, Peter M.; Jones, Katherine A.; Kusak, Josip; Hayward, Matt W. (Springer Verlag, 2018-07)
    Where direct killing is rare and niche overlap low, sympatric carnivores may appear to coexist without conflict. Interference interactions, harassment and injury from larger carnivores may still pose a risk to smaller ...
  • Foraging theory provides a useful framework for livestock predation management 
    Haswell, Peter M.; Shepherd, Elizabeth A.; Stone, Suzanne A.; Purcell, Brad; Hayward, Matt W. (Elsevier, 2019-06)
    A societal shift toward plant dominant diets and a reduction in livestock rearing could have broad social, environmental and conservation benefits. Livestock husbandry, however, has a wealthy cultural history, strong support ...
  • The impact of large terrestrial carnivores on Pleistocene ecosystems 
    Van Valkenburgh, Blaire; Hayward, Matt W.; Ripple, William J.; Meloro, Carlo; Roth, V. Louise (National Academy of Sciences, 2016-01)
    Large mammalian terrestrial herbivores, such as elephants, have dramatic effects on the ecosystems they inhabit and at high population densities their environmental impacts can be devastating. Pleistocene terrestrial ...
  • The implications of biodiversity loss for the dynamics of wildlife in Australia 
    Ward-Fear, G.; Hayward, Matt W.; L'Hotellier, K.; Herman, K.; Kabat, A.P.; Gibbons, J.P. (Wiley, 2016-12)
    Our study aimed to identify the broad effects of native fossorial species on leaf litter, and make inferences about their mechanistic influence on fire behavior using simulation models (Hayward et al., 2016). This ...
  • The importance of experimentation in translocation research 
    Hayward, Matt W. (Wiley, 2019-04)
    No abstract available.
  • The inducible defences of large mammals to human lethality 
    Montgomery, Robert A.; Macdonald, David W.; Hayward, Matt W. (Wiley, 2020-12)
    In the process of avoiding predation, prey are faced with potentially fitness-compromising trade-offs that have implications for their survival and reproduction. The nature and strength of these non-consumptive effects at ...
  • 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 ...
  • Lions at the gates : trans-disciplinary design of an early warning system to improve human-lion coexistence 
    Weise, Florian Johannes; Hauptmeier, Helmut; Stratford, Ken J.; Hayward, Matt W.; Aal, Konstantin; Heuer, Marcus; Tomeletso, Mathata; Wulf, Volker; Somers, Michael J.; Stein, Andrew B. (Frontiers Media, 2019-01-25)
    Across Africa, lions (Panthera leo) are heavily persecuted in anthropogenic landscapes. Trans-disciplinary research and virtual boundaries (geofences) programmed into GPS-tracking transmitters offer new opportunities to ...
  • The many faces of fear : a synthesis of the methodological variation in characterizing predation risk 
    Moll, Remington J.; Redilla, Kyle M.; Mudumba, Tutilo; Muneza, Arthur B.; Gray, Steven M.; Abade, Leandro; Hayward, Matt W.; Millspaugh, Joshua J.; Montgomery, Robert A. (Wiley, 2017-07)
    Predators affect prey by killing them directly (lethal effects) and by inducing costly antipredator behaviours in living prey (risk effects). Risk effects can strongly influence prey populations and cascade through trophic ...
  • Rethinking megafauna 
    Moleon, Marcos; Sanchez-Zapata, Jose A.; Donazar, Jose A.; Revilla, Eloy; Martin-Lopez, Berta; Gutierrez-Canovas, Cayetano; Getz, Wayne Marcus; Morales-Reyes, Zebensui; Campos-Arceiz, Ahimsa; Crowder, Larry B.; Galetti, Mauro; Gonzalez-Suarez, Manuela; He, Fengzhi; Jordano, Pedro; Lewison, Rebecca; Naidoo, Robin; Owen-Smith, Norman; Selva, Nuria; Svenning, Jens-Christian; Tella, Jose L.; Zarfl, Christiane; Jahnig, Sonja C.; Hayward, Matt W.; Faurby, Søren; Garcia, Nuria; Barnosky, Anthony D.; Tockner, Klement (The Royal Society, 2020)
