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 …

Many game species are prey species and evolved to cope with significant mortality by
natural predators. In the absence of predation or hunting, these game populations will be …

The activity patterns exhibited by animals are shaped by evolution, but additionally fine‐
tuned by flexible responses to the environment. Predation risk and resource availability are …

Daily activity patterns in mammals depend on food availability, reproductive stage, habitat
selection, intraspecific interactions and predation risk, among other factors. Some mammals …

Emergent diseases may alter the structure and functioning of ecosystems by creating new
biotic interactions and modifying existing ones, producing cascading processes along …

The impacts of invasive predators can be amplified by high densities of invasive prey
species. In Australia, hyper abundant rabbit populations lead to high densities of feral cats …

Research on terrestrial carnivore ecology frequently relies on scat identification and
analysis. However, species assignment is commonly based on scat morphology. Potential …

The increases in ungulate populations and hunting bags throughout Europe and North
America have resulted in higher carcass numbers available for mesocarnivore species in …

Habitat loss and landscape degradation affect carnivorous mammal populations and the
ecosystem services they provide, but these services are poorly assessed in semi-arid …

The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a key prey species for most Mediterranean
predators in the Iberian Peninsula, including some endangered species such as the Iberian …
