  • Assessment of leopard translocations in South Africa 
    McManus, Jeannine S.; Faraut, Lauriane; Couldridge, Vanessa; Van Deventer, Jaco; Samuels, Igshaan; Cilliers, Deon; Devens, C.H. (Carolyn); Vorster, Paul; Smuts, Bool (Frontiers Media, 2022-07-29)
    Translocations are commonly employed to mitigate human–carnivore conflict but rarely evaluated, resulting in conflicting reports of success, particularly for leopards (Panthera pardus). We evaluate the status of available ...
  • Behavioural changes in African elephants in response to wildlife tourism 
    Szott, Isabelle D.; Pretorius, Yolanda; Koyama, Nicola F. (Wiley, 2019-07)
    Eco‐tourism and human–wildlife interaction can lead to increases in stress, vigilance and aggression in many species, however, studies investigating wildlife viewing are scarce. We present the first study investigating the ...
  • Deconstructing compassionate conservation 
    Hayward, Matt W.; Callen, Alex; Allen, Benjamin L.; Ballard, Guy; Broekhuis, Femke; Bugir, Cassandra K.; Clarke, Rohan H.; Clulow, John; Clulow, Simon; Daltry, Jennifer C.; Davies-Mostert, Harriet T.; Fleming, Peter J.S.; Griffin, Andrea S.; Howell, Lachlan G.; Kerley, Graham I.H.; Klop-Toker, Kaya L.; Legge, Sarah; Major, Tom; Meyer, Ninon; Montgomery, Robert A.; Moseby, Katherine; Parker, Daniel M.; Periquet, Stephanie; Read, John; Scanlon, Robert J.; Seeto, Rebecca G.Y.; Shuttleworth, Craig M.; Somers, Michael J.; Tamessar, Cottrell T.; Tuft, Katherine; Upton, Rose M.O.; Valenzuela-Molina, Marcia; Wayne, Adrian; Witt, Ryan R.; Wuster, Wolfgang (Wiley, 2019-08)
    Compassionate conservation focuses on 4 tenets: first, do no harm; individuals matter; inclusivity of individual animals; and peaceful coexistence between humans and animals. Recently, compassionate conservation has been ...
  • Friends and family : a software program for identification of unrelated individuals from molecular marker data 
    De Jager, G.J. (Deon); Swarts, Petrus; Harper, Cindy Kim; Bloomer, Paulette (Wiley, 2017-11)
    The identification of related and unrelated individuals from molecular marker data is often difficult, particularly when no pedigree information is available and the data set is large. High levels of relatedness or inbreeding ...
  • Genetic structure of fragmented southern populations of African Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer caffer) 
    Smitz, Nathalie; Cornelis, Daniel; Chardonnet, Philippe; Caron, Alexandre; De Garine-Wichatitsky, Michel; Jori, Ferran J.; Mouton, Alice; Latinne, Alice; Pigneur, Lise-Marie; Melletti, Mario; Kanapeckas, Kimberly L.; Marescaux, Jonathan; Pereira, Carlos Lopes; Michaux, Johan (BioMed Central, 2014-11-01)
    BACKGROUND: African wildlife experienced a reduction in population size and geographical distribution over the last millennium, particularly since the 19th century as a result of human demographic expansion, wildlife ...
  • Megaparks for metapopulations: Addressing the causes of locally high elephant numbers in southern Africa 
    Van Aarde, Rudi J.; Jackson, Timothy Peter (Elsevier, 2007-01)
    Conservation management options for southern African elephants range from local to regional scales. Here we review these options and argue in favour of actions that will deal with the causes rather than symptoms of elephant ...
  • Midazolam alters acid-base status less than azaperone during the capture and transport of Southern White Rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum simum) 
    Pohlin, Friederike; Buss, Peter Erik; Hooijberg, Emma Henriette; Meyer, Leith Carl Rodney (MDPI, 2020-07)
    Acidemia represents a major life-threatening factor during rhinoceros capture. The acid-base status during rhinoceros transport is unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe changes in acid-base status during ...
  • Translocation stress and faecal glucocorticoid metabolite levels in free-ranging African savanna elephants 
    Viljoen, Jozua Jakobus; Ganswindt, Andre; Du Toit, Johan T.; Langbauer, William Richard (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2008-10)
    There are local populations of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) which have increased to levels where they are implicated in altering vegetation types. The local reduction of elephant numbers for wildlife management ...
