Across Asia protected areas serve as refuges for carnivores inside human-dominated
landscapes. However, the creation of hard edges around reserve boundaries where …

Leopard population declines largely occur in areas where leopards and people frequently
interact. Research on how leopards respond to human presence and competitors, like other …

Edge effects arising from road construction and other development in protected areas can
negatively affect the behaviour of wildlife, particularly large carnivores. The Asiatic leopard …

Leopard (Panthera pardus) populations across Africa are increasingly exposed to high
levels of anthropogenic disturbance, and information on habitat use responses of leopards …

This thesis represents a highly novel attempt to combine capture-recapture camera trapping,
GPS telemetry and dietary analysis with anthropological techniques such as participant …

Large protected areas are essential for the long-term conservation of wide-ranging or low-
density large carnivore populations. However, small protected areas can also contribute to …

Understanding the space use and movement ecology of apex predators, particularly in
mosaic landscapes encompassing different land-uses, is fundamental for formulating …

Globally, leopards are the most widespread large felid. However, mounting anthropogenic
threats are rapidly reducing viable leopard populations and their range. Despite the clear …

The ecology of wildlife in remote arid regions with free-range livestock farming activities
remains largely unexplored. We studied the temporal activity patterns of African leopards …

Large carnivores can exert strong influence on local ecosystems, making them important
targets for biodiversity conservation. An important question for conserving large carnivores …
