Livestock depredation by large carnivores in the South Gobi, Mongolia

Wildlife Research, 2018
Context Livestock depredation is a major conservation challenge around the world, causing considerable economical losses to pastoral communities and often result in retaliatory killing. In Mongolia, livestock depredation rates are thought to be increasing due to changes in pastoral practices and the transformation of wild habitats into pasture lands.

Scaling issues in the study of livestock depredation by carnivores

Landscape Ecology
Abstract Context Many studies have documented the magnitude and socioecological drivers of livestock depredation, yet few have assessed how observations of depredation might vary with spatiotemporal scale. Understanding scaling relationships may allow for more accurate aggregation of observations collected across diverse

Livestock Depredation by Leopards and Tigers Near Bardia National Park, Nepal. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2021
Wildlife attacks on livestock near human settlements are increasing due to the proximity of humans to protected areas. These attacks are often severe due to depredations of livestock adversely affecting the livelihoods of people. The nature of carnivore depredations on livestock can differ based on the carnivore species, animal husbandry practices ...

Predicting risk of livestock depredation by wolves in southwestern Alberta

, 2003
Wolves can potentially prey on all ungulates within their distributional range, including domestic livestock. The potential for conflict between wolves and humans therefore exists especially in rural areas where livestock production is a major economic activity, such as southwestern Alberta.

Changing status of mountain lion in California and livestock depredation problems [PDF]

, 1978
The California Department of Fish and Game studied depredation by mountain lions on livestock from 1971 through 1977 to determine the scope of the problem. Information was needed on the physical characteristics of a stock killer, the frequency and trend of predation, the livestock types preyed upon, and the geographic distribution of incidents ...

Spatial Determinants of Livestock Depredation and Human Attitude Toward Wolves in Kailadevi Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan, India

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Gray wolves are capable of adapting to human-dominated landscapes by utilizing domestic prey as a source of food. Livestock depredation by wolves incurs a heavy economic loss to the villagers, resulting in negative attitudes toward the species and ...

What Factors Predispose Households in Trans-Himalaya (Central Nepal) to Livestock Predation by Snow Leopards?

Animals, 2020
Livestock depredation across the trans-Himalaya causes significant economic losses to pastoralist communities. Quantification of livestock predation and the assessment of variables associated with depredation are crucial for designing effective long-term

Effects of Wolf Mortality on Livestock Depredations

PLoS ONE, 2014
Predator control and sport hunting are often used to reduce predator populations and livestock depredations, but the efficacy of lethal control has rarely been tested. We assessed the effects of wolf mortality on reducing livestock depredations in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming from 1987-2012 using a 25 year time series. The number of livestock depredated,

Planning for wolf-livestock coexistence: landscape context predicts livestock depredation risk in agricultural landscapes

animal, 2023
Extensive pastoral livestock systems in Central Europe provide multiple ecosystem services and support biodiversity in agricultural landscapes but their viability is challenged by livestock depredation (LD) associated with the recovery of wolf populations.
