This news post introduces our recent paper published in Biological Conservation, “Charismatic species of the past: Biases in reporting of large mammals in historical written sources”, available via this link: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1W-581R~eAqLB. I recently visited the Kruger National Park for a short holiday with my partner and family-in-law. It was our first time in the park and it did not disappoint. We were lucky to see a pride of lions and a group of hyaenas in a night drive, surprise a pack of wild dogs in the middle of their nap and even catch a glimpse of a leopard making its way through the high grass. My point is that the account of the sightings I made during the trip is highly biased. |
