ABSTRACT 1 We reviewed worldwide spatial patterns in the food habits of the brown bear
Ursus arctos in relation to geographical (latitude, longitude, altitude) and environmental …

Biogeographical diversity is central to the trophic ecology of predators. Understanding the
biogeographical trophic patterns of generalist predators, such as the red fox V ulpes vulpes …

Understanding variation in the diet of widely distributed species can help us to predict how
they respond to future environmental and anthropogenic changes. We studied the diet of the …

The red fox Vulpes vulpes is one of the world's most widespread carnivores. A key to its
success has been its broad, opportunistic diet. The fox was introduced to Australia about …

This study examined the effects of burrow digging and habitation by the European badger
(Meles meles) and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) on soil properties and the plant community …

Context Multispecies and multiscale habitat suitability models (HSM) are important to identify
the environmental variables and scales influencing habitat selection and facilitate the …

Knowledge of the spatial scale of the dispersal service provided by important seed
dispersers (ie common and/or keystone species) is essential to our understanding of their …

Seed dispersal may be a major ecological role of mesocarnivores. However, the general
features of seed dispersal by mesocarnivores are not well elucidated. Here, we review the …

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

Species diversity depends on the capacity of species to coexist, and when these share
similar ecological requirements some degree of partitioning of the ecological niche is …
