Crop Foraging, Crop Losses, and Crop Raiding [PDF]
Annual Review of Anthropology, 2018 Crop foraging or crop raiding concerns wildlife foraging and farmers’ reactions and responses to it. To understand crop foraging and its value to wildlife or its implications for humans requires a cross-disciplinary approach that considers the behavior and ecology of wild animals engaging in this behavior; the types and levels of competition for ...

Elephant crop-raiding and human–elephant conflict in Cambodia: crop selection and seasonal timings of raids [PDF]
Oryx, 2011 AbstractElephants are threatened globally by habitat loss, poaching and accelerating levels of human–elephant conflict. ForElephas maximusin Cambodia, crop raiding underlies this conflict. Understanding the timing of raids and selection of crops can help design locally appropriate mitigation and management strategies.

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

The efficacy of interventions to protect crops from raiding elephants [PDF]
Ambio, 2021 AbstractBoth African elephants (Loxodonta spp.) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) across their range come into conflict with people because of their crop-raiding behavior, which presents profound impediments to farmer livelihoods. In response, a series of interventions, designed to reduce elephant crop raiding have been applied.

Nutritional content explains the attractiveness of cacao to crop raiding Tonkean macaques
Current Zoology, 2013 Nutritional ecology has been linked to crop raiding behavior in a number of wildlife taxa. Here our goal is to explore the role nutrition plays in cacao crop raiding by Tonkean macaques Macaca tonkeana in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
