    Författare :Marielle Cambronero; [2017]
    Nyckelord :spotted hyena; activity pattern; depredation; conservation management; Crocuta Crocuta;

    Nyckelord :spotted hyena; African lion; activity patterns; movement ecology; conservation management; Crocuta crocuta; Panthera leo;

    Sammanfattning : Large carnivores are sensitive to land-use changes and in African rangelands they have suffered seriously from an increased demand for land for agriculture and husbandry during the last decades. Mammalian carnivores are particularly exposed as they can also attack livestock, and are therefore frequently killed by farmers or wildlife managers. LÄS MER
