The feeding ecology of the golden jackal (Canis aureus L., 1758) and its interspecific trophic
relationship with the sympatric red fox (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)) was investigated in an area …

Aim Climate change and loss of apex predators can affect ecosystem structure and function
through modified limitation processes. We investigated, on a continental scale, whether …

Where direct killing is rare and niche overlap low, sympatric carnivores may appear to
coexist without conflict. Interference interactions, harassment and injury from larger …

Predation risk is perceived by prey and mesocarnivores through risk signals given by large
carnivores. These signals can be manipulated without exposing mesocarnivores to real risk …

The structure of mammalian carnivore communities is strongly influenced by both intraguild
competition and predation. However, intraguild interactions involving the world's most …

Intraguild interactions play a prominent role in shaping ecological communities, so over
evolutionary time one might expect that species that co-occur with a large number of …
