Spotted hyaena population density across habitat and land use types in southern Tanzania by Searle, CE, Strampelli, P, Smit, J, Mkuburo, L, Mathews, F, Kiwango, H, Macdonald, D, Loveridge, A, Dickman, A

“…We also examine the relationship between population densities of spotted hyaena, lion and leopard at each site. …”

Leopard population density varies across habitats and management strategies ina mixed-use Tanzanian landscape by Searle, C, Smit, J, Strampelli, P, Mkuburo, L, Ikanda, D, Macdonald, D, Loveridge, A, Dickman, A

“…Population density was highest in highly-productive Acacia-Commiphora habitat in the core tourist area of Ruaha National Park (6.81 ± 1.24 leopards per 100 km2). …”

Density responses of lesser-studied carnivores to habitat and management strategies in southern Tanzania's Ruaha-Rungwa landscape by Hardouin, M, Searle, CE, Strampelli, P, Smit, J, Dickman, A, Lobora, AL, Rowcliffe, JM

“…We employed systematic camera trapping and spatially explicit capture-recapture modelling to estimate variation in population density of serval, striped hyaena and aardwolf across the mixed-use Ruaha-Rungwa landscape in southern Tanzania. …”

Status and spatial ecology of a large carnivore guild in a heterogeneous, multiple-use landscape: Implications for conservation in modern African settings by Strampelli, P

“…To then complement these insights with finer-scale metrics, I apply spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) models to camera trap data to investigate the effects of habitat and land management strategies on lion population density (Chapter 5). Lion exist at highest densities in well-protected, prey-rich environments, including in community-managed areas, and at intermediate densities in miombo woodlands and in trophy hunting areas. …”

Insights into the status and distribution of cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) in an understudied potential stronghold in southern Tanzania by Strampelli, P, Searle, C, Smit, J, Grau, A, Henschel, P, Lobora, A, Mitchell, N, Macdonald, D, Dickman, A

“…Our findings indicate that cheetah are widespread across the landscape, although they appear to exist at relatively low population densities, likely primarily due to biotic factors. …”
