Within- and Between-Individual Variation in Hair Cortisol Concentrations in Wild Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus)
Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour to predict farmers' intention to report livestock depredation and kill hyena
Understanding and managing conservation conflicts is important for stakeholders (e.g. policymakers and practitioners) trying to minimise negative impacts on people and biodiversity. A key component of Namibia's community‐based natural resource management system, besides enabling communities to derive benefits from wildlife, is the monitoring of wildlife and reporting of negative wildlife impacts on human lives and livelihoods. Farmers across Nami…
The Cosmopolitics of Cats and Wildlife on Cape Town's Urban Edge
Free‐ranging cats are widely tolerated in cities, and animal welfare organizations increasingly allow for ‘trap, neuter and release’ (TNR) of unowned cats. We show, using the example of a university campus adjacent to a national park in a large metropole, that this has implications for cosmopolitics over biodiversity on the urban edge. A camera trap survey showed cats were the most abundant medium/large mammal species, and that some individuals h…
Small-livestock farmers’ perceived effectiveness of predation control methods and the correlates of reported illegal poison use in the South African Karoo
The use of poison against predators is pervasive and negatively impacts biodiversity and ecosystem health globally. Little is known about the correlates of poison use as a lethal control method on small-livestock farmland. We used a mixed-methods approach to investigate commercial farmers’ experience with and perceived effectiveness of predation control methods, reported poison use and its correlates in the Central Karoo. Farmers perceived lethal…
Socioecology Explains Individual Variation in Urban Space Use in Response to Management in Cape Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus)
The presence of wildlife adjacent to and within urban spaces is a growing phenomenon globally. When wildlife’s presence in urban spaces has negative impacts for people and wildlife, nonlethal and lethal interventions on animals invariably result. Recent evidence suggests that individuals in wild animal populations vary in both their propensity to use urban space and their response to nonlethal management methods. Understanding such interindividua…
Recreationist perceptions of lethal and non-lethal management of sharks in two of South Africa’s marine areas
Nonlethal management of baboons on the urban edge of a large metropole
The transformation of natural land for agricultural and urban use has displaced baboons from large parts of their historical distribution. Abundant resources within transformed areas, however, continue to attract baboons back into these human‐dominated areas resulting in chronic levels of conflict throughout much of Africa. In the city of Cape Town, chacma baboons ( Papio ursinus ) have been raiding human‐derived foods for over 200 years. In the …
Isotopic assessment of marine food consumption by natural‐foraging chacma baboons on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa
Objectives Stable isotope analysis has been used to investigate consumption of marine resources in a variety of terrestrial mammals, including humans, but not yet in extant nonhuman primates. We sought to test the efficacy of stable isotope analysis as a tool for such studies by comparing isotope‐ and observation‐based estimates of marine food consumption by a troop of noncommensal, free‐ranging chacma baboons. Materials and methods We determined…
Foraging Profile, Activity Budget and Spatial Ecology of Exclusively Natural-Foraging Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus) on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa
The Effects of Permanent Injury on the Behavior and Diet of Commensal Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus) in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa
Troop Size and Human‐Modified Habitat Affect the Ranging Patterns of a Chacma Baboon Population in the C ape P eninsula, S outh A frica
Differences in group size and habitat use are frequently used to explain the extensive variability in ranging patterns found across the primate order. However, with few exceptions, our understanding of primate ranging patterns stems from studies of single groups and both intra‐ and inter‐specific meta‐analyses. Studies with many groups and those that incorporate whole populations are rare but important for testing socioecological theory in primat…
Monkey Management: Using Spatial Ecology to Understand the Extent and Severity of Human-Baboon Conflict in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa

A Low-Cost Manipulation of Food Resources Reduces Spatial Overlap Between Baboons (Papio ursinus) and Humans in Conflict
The Spatial Ecology of Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus) in a Human-modified Environment
The effects of extreme seasonality of climate and day length on the activity budget and diet of semi‐commensal chacma baboons ( Papio ursinus ) in the Cape Peninsula of South Africa
We examined the effects of extreme seasonality on the activity budget and diet of wild chacma baboons with access to a high‐quality, human‐derived food source. The Cape Peninsula of South Africa is unusual among nonhuman primate habitats due to its seasonal extremes in day length and climate. Winter days are markedly shorter and colder than summer days but have higher rainfall and higher primary production of annually flowering plants. This combi…
