The organization of ecological assemblages has important implications for ecosystem
functioning, but little is known about how scavenger communities organize at the global …

Species assemblages often have a non‐random nested organization, which in vertebrate
scavenger (carrion‐consuming) assemblages is thought to be driven by facilitation in …

Dead animal biomass (carrion) is present in all terrestrial ecosystems, and its consumption,
decomposition, and dispersal can have measurable effects on vertebrates, invertebrates …

Carrion decomposition is fundamental to nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems because it
provides a high-quality resource to diverse organisms. A conceptual framework …

Animal behavior is greatly shaped by the 'landscape of fear', induced by predation risk, and
the equivalent 'landscape of disgust', induced by parasitism or infection risk. However, the …

Scavenging is a common feeding behavior by many species that plays an important role in
ecosystem stability and function while also providing ecosystem services. Despite its …
