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 …

Camera traps have been used increasingly as a research tool to monitor wildlife globally,
and have become more advanced, thereby improving their performance and lowering costs …

Camera traps are increasingly used to study wildlife ecology and inform conservation, but
valid inference depends on appropriate data analysis. This article introduces the most …

Understanding the effect of anthropogenic disturbance, and its interaction with carnivores
and their prey, is crucial to support the conservation of threatened carnivores, particularly in …

Human impact is near pervasive across the planet and studies of wildlife populations free of
anthropogenic mortality are increasingly scarce. This is particularly true for large carnivores …

The spatial aggregation of species pairs often increases with the ecological similarity of the
species involved. However, the way in which environmental conditions and anthropogenic …

Sympatric carnivores compete for similar resources which may lead to dominant species
influencing the ecology of subordinate ones. However, carnivores often make use of …

Apex predator reintroductions have proliferated across southern Africa, yet their ecological
effects and proposed umbrella benefits of associated management lack empirical …

Carnivora occupy many ecological niches fundamental to ecosystem functioning. Within this
diverse order, carnivore species compete to establish dominance, ensure survival and …

Basic ecological knowledge on African small carnivores and how they interact with the wider
carnivore guild are lacking for many species. The caracal (Caracal caracal) has a …
