Limiting Depredation by African Carnivores: the Role of Livestock Husbandry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of livestock husbandry on the number of lions, leopards, and cheetahs killed by farmers in livestock-producing areas of Laikipia District, Kenya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social organization of the spotted hyaena Crocuta crocuta. II. Dominance and reproduction
TL;DR: A 4-year study of the social organization of spotted hyaenas in a clan of 60–80 individuals showed that there is a separate dominance hierarchy within each sex, and one female and her descendants dominated all others; matrilineal rankings were stable over time because maternal rank is inherited.

TL;DR: This work relates African lion population densities and population trends to contrasting management practices across 42 sites in 11 countries to show that lions in unfenced reserves are highly sensitive to human population density in surrounding communities, and unfenced populations are frequently subjected to density-independent factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lethal control of African lions (Panthera leo): local and regional population impacts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the impact of lethal control, associated with livestock depredation, on a population of African lions (Panthera leo) living outside protected areas, and suggest that sustainable coexistence of lions and people demands livestock husbandry that effectively deters predators from acquiring stock-killing behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Livestock husbandry as a tool for carnivore conservation in Africa’s community rangelands: a case–control study
Rosie Woodroffe,Laurence G. Frank,Peter A. Lindsey,Symon M. K. ole Ranah,Stephanie S. Romañach +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility of coexistence of people, livestock, and large predators in community rangelands, and measured the effectiveness of traditional livestock husbandry in reducing depredation by wild carnivores.
