Mitigating crop raiding by forest elephants and baboons at Kibale National Park

African Journal of Ecology, 2022
AbstractIn 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, 2018
Shifting 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.

Crop raiding around Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda

African Journal of Ecology, 2004
AbstractIn 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 ...

The influence of lunar cycles on crop‐raiding elephants; evidence for risk avoidance

African Journal of Ecology, 2013
AbstractLong‐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 Commensalism in Olive Baboons: The Costs and Benefits of Living with Humans

2010
We investigated the causes and consequences of crop-raiding for the ecology and life-history of two troops of olive baboons studied in Nigeria’s Gashaka Gumti National Park over 8 years. Kwano troop feeds entirely on wild foods whilst the Gamgam troop regularly consumes crops grown within its home-range.
