  • 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 ...
  • The foraging ecology of reintroduced African wild dog in small protected areas 
    Vogel, John T.; Somers, Michael J.; Venter, Jan A. (Nordic Council for Wildlife Research, 2018)
    Restoring large predators to small confined areas (< 400 km2) is inherently complex and therefore any data on the foraging behaviour and top–down influences hold significant value for the conservation and reintroduction ...
