Beehive fence deters crop‐raiding elephants [PDF]
African Journal of Ecology, 2009 AbstractPrevious work has shown that African elephantsLoxodonta africanawill avoid African honeybeesApis mellifera scutellata. Here we present results from a pilot study conducted to evaluate the concept of using beehives to mitigate elephant crop depredation.

Elephants in the garden: Financial and social costs of crop raiding
Ecological Economics, 2012Abstract Residents near protected areas disproportionately bear conservation costs, in part due to crop raiding by protected animals when protected areas are situated within an agricultural landscape. These costs increase as conservation efforts lead to recovery of animal populations, and human population growth increases the proportion of land ...

Adaptations of crop-raiding baboons in Kenya
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1976AbstractA field study of baboon behavior as it relates to crop‐raiding was conducted on the Kenya Coast. The results proved useful for quantifying the distribution, movement, and other factors of their behavior. Such variables as troop organization, crop season, and the behavior of the farmers influence raiding behavior.

Patterns of crop raiding by primates around the Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda
Wildlife Biology, 2005 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Crop raiding by primates in particular and wild animals in general is a significant source of people-forest conflict around the Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda. Crop loss to wild animals undermines local support for conservation efforts in this area.

Crop raiding around Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda
African Journal of Ecology, 2004AbstractIn areas around Lake Mburo National Park, large wild animals wander in close proximity to human settlements. This poses serious conflict in terms of crop damage. The integration of conservation with other land uses is difficult where densely settled agricultural land surrounds a protected area potentially containing problem animals, as is the ...

Mitigating crop raiding by forest elephants and baboons at Kibale National Park
African Journal of Ecology, 2022AbstractIn Africa, most protected forests are in densely human‐dominated landscapes where human–wildlife conflict is intense. We documented farmer perceptions and responses to crop‐raiding wildlife from Kibale National Park, Uganda. Crop raiding was mostly (95%) by baboons (Papio anubis) and elephants (Loxodonta africana).

Competition during sugarcane crop raiding by blond capuchin monkeys (Sapajus flavius)
Primates, 2018Shifting to fallback food (FBF) consumption and crop raiding are behavioral adjustments that support primates' ability to endure in human-altered habitats. Nutritional models predict that the consumption of preferred foods leads to increased competition, while consumption of staple fallback foods results in decreased competition.

The influence of lunar cycles on crop‐raiding elephants; evidence for risk avoidance
African Journal of Ecology, 2013AbstractLong‐term solutions to crop raiding by elephants (Loxodonta africana)should be based on an understanding of their behaviour and ecology. The real and perceived risks from humans have been shown to affect elephant behaviour. This is evidenced by elephants predominantly raiding crops at night, avoiding the height of human activity.

Crop Raiding and Livestock Predation at Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan India
Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2008This article reports the results of multi-methods research at an Indian wildlife sanctuary between 1998 and 2006 to determine (a) household characteristics that influence vulnerability to crop raiding and livestock predation, (b) wildlife species most sensitive to these characteristics, and (c) conservation outcomes for species adapted to raiding and ...
