  • The demography and dynamics of an expanding, managed African wild dog metapopulation 
    Davies-Mostert, Harriet T.; Mills, Michael G.L. (Gus); Macdonald, David W. (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2015-09)
    Long-term demographic data are central for the evaluation of endangered species recovery plans. We present the demography and dynamics of a managed African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) metapopulation in South Africa, based ...
  • Effects of culverts and roadside fencing on the rate of roadkill of small terrestrial vertebrates in northern Limpopo, South Africa 
    Collinson, Wendy J.; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T.; Davies-Mostert, Warwick (University of Cambridge, 2017)
    We tested the effectiveness of low-level roadside fencing to direct wildlife towards existing culverts beneath the road (underpasses) in order to reduce road deaths of small terrestrial vertebrates. While our results showed ...
  • Factors affecting the success of artificial pack formation in an endangered, social carnivore : the African wild dog 
    Marneweck, Courtney; Becker, P.A.; Beverley, G.; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T.; Du Plessis, C.; Forssman, K.R. (Katherine); Graf, J.; Gusset, M.; Hofmeyr, M.; Kelly, C.; Kilian, P.J.; Marchal, A.F.J.; Marneweck, David G.; Marnewick, K.; Owen, C.; Postiglione, G.; Slotow, R.; Somers, Michael J.; Szykman, G.M.; Van Dyk, G.; Whittington-Jones, B.; Parker, Daniel M. (Wiley, 2019-10)
    Social integration is an important factor when reintroducing group‐living species, but examples of the formation of social groups before reintroduction are largely lacking. African wild dogs Lycaon pictus are endangered, ...
  • A framework to measure the wildness of managed large vertebrate populations 
    Child, Matthew F.; Selier, S.A. Jeanetta; Radloff, Frans G.T.; Taylor, William Andrew; Hoffmann, Michael; Nel, Lizanne; Power, R. John; Birss, Coral; Okes, Nicola C.; Peel, Michael J.; Mallon, David; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T. (Wiley, 2019-10)
    As landscapes continue to fall under human influence through habitat loss and fragmentation, fencing is increasingly being used to mitigate anthropogenic threats and enhance the commercial value of wildlife. Subsequent ...
  • Genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area 
    Tensen, Laura; Groom, R.J. (Rosemary); Van Belkom, Joep; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T.; Marnewick, Kelly; Jansen van Vuuren, Bettine J. (Springer, 2016-08)
    The Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA) is one of the last refuges for the endangered African wild dog and hosts roughly one-tenth of the global population. Wild dogs in this area are currently threatened ...
  • Jobs, game meat and profits : the benefits of wildlife ranching on marginal lands in South Africa 
    Taylor, William Andrew; Lindsey, Peter Andrew; Nicholson, Samantha K.; Relton, Claire; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T. (Elsevier, 2020-05)
    The private wildlife sector in South Africa must demonstrate value in the face of political pressures for economic growth, job creation and food security. Through structured survey questionnaires of landowners and managers ...
  • Socio-economic factors influencing attitudes of landowners towards free-roaming cheetahs 
    Page-Nicholson, Samantha K.; Marnewick, Kelly A.; Beverley, Grant; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T.; Watermeyer, Jessica P.; Parker, Daniel M. (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2017-10)
    The largest area of the South African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) distribution occurs outside formally protected areas, making cheetahs vulnerable to conflict-related killings. This conflict is assumed to be related to ...
  • Sustainable rhino horn production at the pointy end of the rhino horn trade debate 
    Taylor, Andrew; Balfour, Dave; Brebner, Diane Kirsty; Coetzee, Rynette; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T.; Lindsey, Peter Andrew; Shaw, Jo; 't Sas-Rolfes, Michael (Elsevier, 2017-12)
    African rhino populations are under severe threat from poachers, who kill rhinos to obtain horn for illegal trade. Over the 9-year period between 2008 and 2016, an estimated 7124 rhinos were poached in Africa, with the ...
