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 ...
