Among species, coexistence is driven partly by the partitioning of available resources. The
mechanisms of coexistence and competition among species have been a central topic …

With rapid development and the spread of urbanized land, there is an increasing need to
understand species' responses to urban conditions. Carnivores are considered to be …

Human-driven declines of apex predators can trigger widespread impacts throughout
ecological communities. Reduced apex predator occupancy or activity can release …

Carnivore guilds play a vital role in ecological communities by cascading trophic effects,
energy and nutrient transfer, and stabilizing or destabilizing food webs. Consequently, the …

Dogs Canis familiaris are the world's most common carnivore and are known to interact with
wildlife as predators, prey, competitors, and disease reservoirs or vectors. 2. Despite these …

An understanding of how top mammalian carnivores respond to urbanization is important for
conservation and management of human–wildlife conflicts. Coyotes (Canis latrans) have …

We review 87 articles published in the Journal of Wildlife Management from 2000 to 2004 to
assess the current state of practice in the design and analysis of resource selection studies …

Various biological attributes associated with individual fitness in animals change predictably
over the lifespan of an organism. Therefore, the study of animal ecology and the work of …

Time is a fundamental component of ecological processes. How animal behavior changes
over time has been explored through well-known ecological theories like niche partitioning …

Top‐down processes, via the direct and indirect effects of interspecific competitive killing (no
consumption of the kill) or intraguild predation (consumption of the kill), can potentially …
