Carnivore guilds play a vital role in ecological communities by cascading trophic effects,
energy and nutrient transfer, and stabilizing or destabilizing food webs. Consequently, the …

The editors utilize their 50 years of combined experience in professional engagement with
the behaviour and ecology of wild felids to draw together a unique network of the world's …

When estimating population density from data collected on non-invasive detector arrays,
recently developed spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models present an advance over non …

Large 'apex'predators influence ecosystems in profound ways, by limiting the density of their
prey and controlling smaller 'mesopredators'. The loss of apex predators from much of their …

Home range size in mammals is a key ecological trait and an important parameter in
conservation planning, and has been shown to be influenced by ecological, demographic …

Within‐population studies are needed to investigate the extent of, and the factors underlying,
intraspecific variation in home range size. We used data from 12 female and 8 male adult …

For most carnivore populations, territoriality is the regulating social system ultimately
determined by food abundance and/or strife. However, in some food-based territorial felid …

Home range size is a fundamental concept for understanding animal dispersion and
ecological needs, and it is one of the most commonly reported ecological attributes of free …

The size of animal home ranges often varies inversely with population density among
populations of a species. This fact has implications for population monitoring using spatially …

To assess recovery of endangered species, reliable information on the size and density of
the target population is required. In practice, however, this information has proved hard to …
