Carnivores [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2010
SummaryThe mammalian order Carnivora includes species we most love and fear — our household pets, dogs and cats, and large predators such as bears, lions, and wolves. Our fondness for domesticated carnivores is reflected in sheer numbers: the estimated number of household cats and dogs exceeds 100 million each, a global population size that easily ...

Predation strongly limits demography of a keystone migratory herbivore in a recovering transfrontier ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Large herbivore migrations are imperiled globally; however the factors limiting a population across its migratory range are typically poorly understood.

Carnivore carcasses are avoided by carnivores [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2017
AbstractEcologists have traditionally focused on herbivore carcasses as study models in scavenging research. However, some observations of scavengers avoiding feeding on carnivore carrion suggest that different types of carrion may lead to differential pressures.

Long‐term changes in habitat selection and prey spectrum in a reintroduced Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) population in Switzerland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
When wild‐caught Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) from the Slovak Carpathian Mountains were reintroduced to Central Switzerland in the early 1970s and spread through the north‐western Swiss Alps (NWA), they faced a largely unfamiliar landscape with strongly ...

African wild dog movements show contrasting responses to long and short term risk of encountering lions: analysis using dynamic Brownian bridge movement models

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2022
Background Prey depletion is a threat to the world’s large carnivores, and is likely to affect subordinate competitors within the large carnivore guild disproportionately.

Transdisciplinary deficit in large carnivore conservation funding in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesNature Conservation, 2022
Achieving coexistence between humans and large carnivores in human-shaped landscapes is a complex challenge. Addressing this challenge requires the revaluation of the approaches academia uses to foster carnivore conservation and human-large carnivore ...

Identification of carnivore kill sites is improved by verified accelerometer data

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry, 2020
Background Quantifying kill rates is central to understanding predation ecology. However, estimating kill rates and prey composition in carnivore diets is challenging due to their low densities and cryptic behaviors limiting direct observations ...
