Enemies with benefits: integrating positive and negative interactions among terrestrial carnivores
LR Prugh, KJ Sivy - Ecology Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Interactions among terrestrial carnivores involve a complex interplay of competition,
predation and facilitation via carrion provisioning, and these negative and positive pathways …

Facultative predation and scavenging by mammalian carnivores: Seasonal, regional and intra‐guild comparisons
The extent to which vertebrate carnivores shift facultatively between predation and
scavenging has recently been emphasized. Potentially, all carnivores have to do is wait until …

Human activity reduces niche partitioning among three widespread mesocarnivores
Anthropogenic disturbances can constrain the realized niche space of wildlife by inducing
avoidance behaviors and altering community dynamics. Human activity might contribute to …

Top carnivores increase their kill rates on prey as a response to human-induced fear
The fear induced by predators on their prey is well known to cause behavioural adjustments
by prey that can ripple through food webs. Little is known, however, about the analogous …

Coyote diet in North America: geographic and ecological patterns during range expansion
Coyotes Canis latrans have expanded their geographic range by 40% in the last 120 years,

Numerical and behavioral effects within a pulse‐driven system: consequences for shared prey
KA Schmidt, RS Ostfeld - Ecology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Some of the clearest examples of the ramifying effects of resource pulses exist in deciduous
forests dominated by mast‐producing trees, such as oaks, beech, and hornbeam. Seed …

Predator preferences shape the diets of arthropodivorous bats more than quantitative local prey abundance
Although most predators are generalists, the majority of studies on the association between
prey availability and prey consumption have focused on specialist predators. To investigate …
