Africa is home to some of the world's most functionally diverse guilds of large carnivores.
However, they are increasingly under threat from anthropogenic pressures that may …

Resource partitioning promotes coexistence among guild members, and carnivores reduce
interference competition through behavioral mechanisms that promote spatio-temporal …

Megacarnivore behaviours shape ecological dynamics between their prey and competitors
and therefore play a key role in structuring ecosystems. In Late Pleistocene Eurasia …

Conservation policy and practice can sometimes run counter to their mutual aims of
ensuring species survival. In Kenya, where threatened predators such as lion deplete …

Rest sites are key locations to many animals but their selection has been poorly studied in
large carnivores. We investigated seasonal diurnal rest site selection by spotted hyaenas …

Interspecific killing is a primary reason for the low survival rates of some animal species. The
giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an altricial eutherian mammal and thus, in …

Interspecific competition among mammalian carnivore species is common and results in a
range of different behavioural mechanisms to partition resources and coexist. For example …

Denning behavior is a critical life history attribute for many mammalian species and can be
impacted by urbanization, affecting species' reproductive success and survival in these …

The negative impact of anthropogenic activities on wildlife has led to protected areas being
set aside to prevent human-wildlife conflict. These protected areas are often small and …

The mammalian order Carnivora is generally defined as species that feed exclusively or to
some degree by eating other animals. The Carnivora comprise around 280 species, divided …
