TL;DR: There is continued and strengthened support for the general pattern of female biased dispersal established by Greenwood in 1980 and there is now evidence for malebiased dispersal in twenty-two species representing twelve families.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how conservation attitudes in western Serengeti are shaped by the following factors: level of conflicts with protected areas; wildlife imposed constraints (inadequate pasture, water, diseases, loss of livestock during migration, theft and depredation); participation in the community based project; and socio-demographic factors (age, education level, wealth, immigration, gender and household size).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse self-reported fear of four large carnivore species in a representative sample of the Norwegian population and find that women expressed significantly more fear of these species than did men, and expressed fear increased with age in both sexes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore different factors that affect attitudes towards four such species, i.e. wolves and bears, and find that people are more negative towards wolves than lynx and wolverines.

TL;DR: In a survey of 481 households in seven different villages outside the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, 67.4% of all the households surveyed reported losses of a total of 4.5% of their livestock to wild predators over 12 months, which equated to an average annual financial loss of 19.2% (US $26.8) of their cash income.
