        Graf, Jan A.; Somers, Michael J.; Szykman Gunther, Micaela; Slotow, Rob (Polish Academy of Science, 2009)
        Animal population sizes and trends, as well as their distributions, are essential information to the understanding and conservation of ecosystems. During this study in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa, a spotted hyaena ...
      • Home range use of free-ranging cheetah on farm and conservation land in Botswana 

        Houser, AnnMarie; Somers, Michael J.; Boast, Lorraine K. (Southern African Wildlife Management Association, 2009-07)
        Cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus) movements should be considered when developing management strategies for long-term survival and coexistence with humans. Although work has been done in Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania little ...
      • Home ranges of cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus ) outside protected areas in South Africa 

        Marnewick, K.; Somers, Michael J. (SAWMA, 2015-09)
        As many carnivores occur outside protected areas, they are vulnerable to anthropogenic threats. In South Africa, the largest proportion of the distribution range of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) is outside protected areas ...
      • The implications of the reclassification of South African wildlife species as farm animals 

        Somers, M.J.; Walters, M.; Measey, J.; Strauss, W.M.; Turner, A.A.; Venter, J.A.; Nel, L.; Kerley, G.I.H.; Taylor, W.A.; Moodley, Y. (2020)
      • Inbreeding avoidance influences the viability of reintroduced populations of African Wild Dogs (Lycaon pictus) 

        Becker, Penny A.; Miller, Philip S; Micaela Szykman Gunther, Micaela Szykman Gunther; Somers, Michael J.; Wildt, David E.; Maldonado, Jesu´ s E. (Plos, 2012-05)
        The conservation of many fragmented and small populations of endangered African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) relies on understanding the natural processes affecting genetic diversity, demographics, and future viability. We ...
      • Inbreeding, heterozygosity and fitness in a reintroduced population of endangered African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) 

        Spiering, P.A.; Szykman Gunther, M.; Somers, M.J.; Wildt, D.E.; Walters, M.; Wilson, A.S.; Maldonado, J.E. (Springer, 2011-03-17)
        It is crucial to understand the genetic health and implications of inbreeding in wildlife populations, especially of vulnerable species. Using extensive demographic and genetic data, we investigated the relationships among ...
      • The influence of prey , pastoralism and poaching on the hierarchical use of habitat by an apex predator 

        Everatt, K.T.; Andresen, L.; Somers, Michael J. (SAWMA, 2015)
        As an apex predator, habitat selection by African lions,Panthera leo, is primarily determined by bottom-up processes; however, increasing anthropogenic pressures may alter these relationships. Using camera traps and track ...
      • Interactive effects of species richness and species traits on functional diversity and redundancy 

        Dalerum, Fredrik; Cameron, Elissa Z.; Kunkel, Kyran; Somers, Michael J. (Springer, 2012-01)
        The importance of species diversity for ecosystem function has emerged as a key question for conservation biology. Recently, there has been a shift from examining the role of species richness in isolation towards understanding ...
      • Landscape suitability in Botswana for the conservation of its six large African carnivores 

        Winterbach, H.E.K.; Winterbach, C.W.; Somers, M.J. (PloS, 2014-06-20)
        Wide-ranging large carnivores often range beyond the boundaries of protected areas into human-dominated areas. Mapping out potentially suitable habitats on a country-wide scale and identifying areas with potentially high ...
      • Leopard Panthera pardus density in southern Mozambique: evidence from spatially explicit capture-recapture in Xonghile Game Reserve 

        Strampelli, P.; Andresen, L.; Everatt, K.T.; Somers, M.J.; Rowcliffe, J.M. (2020)
        Rigorous status estimates of populations of large carnivores are necessary to inform their management and help evaluate the effectiveness of conservation interventions. The African leopard Panthera pardus faces rising ...
      • Lions at the gates: trans-disciplinary design of an early warning system to improve human-lion coexistence 

        Weise, F.J.; Hauptmeier, H.; Stratford, K.J.; Hayward, M.W.; Aal, K.; Heuer, M.; Tomeletso, M.; Wulf, V.; Somers, M.J.; Stein, A.B. (2019)
        Across Africa, lions (Panthera leo) are heavily persecuted in anthropogenic landscapes. Trans-disciplinary research and virtual boundaries (geofences) programmed into GPS-tracking transmitters offer new opportunities to ...
      • Lions Panthera leo prefer killing certain cattle Bos taurus types 

        Weise, F.J.; Tomeletso, M.; Stein, A.B.; Somers, M.J.; Hayward, M.W. (2020)
        Simple Summary Livestock production continues to increase throughout the world. Meanwhile, lions are becoming increasingly endangered, in part due to the severe conflict arising from cattle predation. Because cattle closely ...
      • Livestock predation in South Africa: The need for and value of a scientific assessment 

        Kerley, G.I.H.; Behrens, K.G.; Carruthers, J.; Diemont, M.; du Plessis, J.; Minnie, L.; Richardson, P.R.K.; Somers, M.J.; Tambling, C.J.; Turpie, J.; van Niekerk, H.N.; Balfour, D. (Academy of Science of South Africa, 2017)
