Bobcats Lynx rufus and coyotes Canis latrans are two widespread mesopredators with a
complex history of sympatry. The competitive interactions between these species are of …

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 …

Anthropogenic disturbances can constrain the realized niche space of wildlife by inducing
avoidance behaviors and altering community dynamics. Human activity might contribute to …

The roles of the 37 species in the family Canidae (the dog family), are of great current
interest. The Gray Wolf is the largest canid and their roles in food webs are much …

The temporal axis of niche (temporally based resource partitioning) is an understudied
mechanism for resource partitioning in mammals even though it provides a potential means …

Interspecific competition among carnivores has been linked to differences in behavior,
morphology, and resource use. Insights into these interactions can enhance understanding …

The competitive exclusion principle states that ecologically similar species will be unable to
coexist due to competition for resources, however, similar species coexist across a variety of …

Gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus (Schreber, 1775)) populations in portions of the eastern
United States have experienced declines whose trajectories differ from those of other …

Citizen science approaches are of great interest for their potential to efficiently and
sustainably monitor wildlife populations on both public and private lands. Here we present …

In mammals, ecological interactions are difficult to observe directly, so they are usually
inferred from co‐occurrence data. Direct interpretation of co‐occurrence patterns can be …
