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 …

ABSTRACT 1 Stable isotope analysis (SIA) has the potential to become a widespread tool in
mammalian ecology, because of its power in resolving the ecological and behavioural …

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 …

With increasing urbanization, some animals are adapting to human-dominated systems,
offering unique opportunities to study individual adaptation to novel environments. One …

Understanding how the diet of an ecologically important mesopredator varies throughout a
large region can provide an insight into the trophic responses of generalist carnivores to …

Human development impacts the landscape by altering the size and shape of natural habitat
patches, replacing natural vegetation with other types such as lawns and row crops, or …

The prey choice of extinct cave lions Panthera spelaea was determined using bone collagen
isotopic signatures in the Belgian Ardennes and the Swabian Jura between 40,000 and …

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 …

The feeding ecology of the golden jackal (Canis aureus L., 1758) and its interspecific trophic
