Appendix 4
Literature on Lycaon pictus

John H. Fanshawe, Joshua R. Ginsberg & Rosie Woodroffe

Background

The following bibliography was started in 1985 and has grown from just over 100 references to well over 300 in that time. Many of these references added since the bibliography began are from before 1985, however there has been an exponential growth in publications concerning wild dogs, with over 140 publications since 1985. This increased scientific interest in the species cuts across scientific fields of study, with an increase in publications on subjects ecological, behavioural, and medical.

The bibliography is maintained in an EndNote2 (Niles Associates 1994) database by J.R.Ginsberg. Copies of the database can be provided in a number of formats (EndNote, REFER, ProCite, TABText). To obtain a copy of the database, please send a disk and return mailing label to Dr. Ginsberg. Alternatively, the database can be sent across the Internet as a text file or as a formatted AppleMacintosh Word 5.0 BinHex file at no cost. Please contact Dr. Ginsberg via the internet for a copy and indicate format reference.

While this bibliography aims to be comprehensive, we suspect that we have missed much, if not most, journalistic and 'greyµ literature coverage of Lycaon (e.g. newspapers, newsletters, local conservation magazines, unpublished departmental reports). As with all sections of this Action Plan, we would be grateful to receive any additional information, or corrections to information published here. To maintain the database we would be grateful if authors of articles on Lycaon could send a copy of their papers to Dr. Ginsberg for inclusion in all electronic, and future printed, versions of the bibliography.
