Exploring the effects of spatial autocorrelation when identifying key drivers of wildlife crop-raiding. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2014 AbstractFew universal trends in spatial patterns of wildlife crop‐raiding have been found. Variations in wildlife ecology and movements, and human spatial use have been identified as causes of this apparent unpredictability. However, varying spatial patterns of spatial autocorrelation (SA) in human–wildlife conflict (HWC) data could also contribute. We
