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 ...

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).

Testing a model for predicting primate crop-raiding using crop- and farm-specific risk values

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2010
Crop-raiding by primates is increasingly known to cause conflict between humans and primates, and due to their opportunism, adaptability, intelligence and manipulative abilities, primates can be significant agricultural pests. Levels of crop-raiding are dependent on time of year, crop type, size and location of the farm, and primate species involved ...

Assessment of Crop Loss Due to Elephant Crop Raids and Its Eco Friendly Mitigation

UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY
The crop raiding by elephants is one of the important concern causing loss of livelihood and affects the farmer’s economy. Hence a study was conducted to estimate the crop losses and to evolve an economically feasible mitigation measures. The studies were conducted in villages belonging to Kodihalli and Uyyamballi Hobli of Kanakapura Taluka, Ramanagara

Crop Raiding and Livestock Predation at Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan India

Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2008
This 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 ...

Elephants in the garden: Financial and social costs of crop raiding

Ecological Economics, 2012
Abstract 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 ...

Temporal patterns of crop raiding by elephants: a response to changes in forage quality or crop availability?

African Journal of Ecology, 2005
AbstractTemporal patterns of crop raiding by elephants were studied for 13 months in 1996/1997 at Kibale Forest National Park, Uganda. To determine the influence of environmental factors on the timing of raiding, we tested for correlations between crop raiding patterns and the quality of natural forage within the forest as well as crop availability ...

Anthropogenic Habitat Modification, Tourist Interactions and Crop-Raiding in Howler Monkeys

2014
In this chapter, we review how anthropogenic disturbance specifically impacts members of the genus Alouatta, one of the most geographically expansive and ecologically flexible of platyrrhine groups. This report initiates with a brief discussion of the use of matrix landscapes, the effects of ecotourism, and the potential for crop-raiding by howler ...
