Original data are provided in
Appendix B. Each publication contained one livestock predation/no
predation case (one study area for one big cat species) or more cases
(2–5 study areas for a species, e.g. different protected areas in a puma
study by Donadio et al. (2010) inwhich each protected areawas considered
a separate case). We took the cases as independent if they
described different big cat species, areas and/or study periods in the
same area. Otherwise, we considered the cases as dependent and
lumped them into a single case.
