Carnivore coexistence: Value the wilderness
Science, 2015In their Report “Recovery of large carnivores in Europe's modern human-dominated landscapes” (19 December 2014, p. [1517][1]), G. Chapron et al. recount encouraging news that brown bear, wolf, European lynx, and wolverine populations are stable or increasing in Europe. Still more encouraging,

Ecological traits and the spatial structure of competitive coexistence among carnivores
Ecology, 2020AbstractCompetition is a widespread interaction among carnivores, ultimately manifested through one or more dimensions of the species' ecological niche. One of the most explicit manifestations of competitive interactions regards spatial displacement. Its interpretation under a theoretical context provides an important tool to deepen our understanding ...

Competitive interactions and coexistence of sympatric flagship carnivores in Asia
Integrative Zoology, 2023AbstractUnderstanding the competition and coexistence of flagship carnivores is key to creating strategies for their conservation in the face of global carnivore declines. Although studies exploring the dynamics and competition between tigers (Panthera tigris) and leopards (P. pardus) span decades, there is a lack of understanding regarding the factors

Food webs reveal coexistence mechanisms and community organization in carnivores
Current Biology, 2023Globally, massive carnivore guild extirpations have led to trophic downgrading and compromised ecosystem services. However, the complexity of multi-carnivore food webs complicates accurate identification of species interactions and community organization.

Competition and coexistence in a small carnivore guild
Oecologia, 2017The potential for strong competition among small sympatric carnivores results in a need for coexistence strategies whereby competitors partition along spatial, temporal and dietary axes as a means to reduce ecological overlaps. We determined spatial and temporal partitioning patterns of a guild of small African carnivores: the African wildcat Felis ...

Human-carnivore coexistence in a traditional rural landscape
Landscape Ecology, 2014Facilitating human-carnivore coexistence is a major conservation concern in human-dominated landscapes worldwide. Useful insights could be gained by studying and understanding the dynamics of human-carnivore coexistence in landscapes in which carnivores and humans have coexisted for a long time. We used a two-pronged approach combin- ing ecological and

Risk and opportunity for humans coexisting with large carnivores
Journal of Human Evolution, 1999Models of Plio-Pleistocene hominid behavioral ecology often emphasize competition with large carnivores. This paper describes competition between modern humans and large carnivores in rural Uganda, including active, confrontational scavenging of carnivore kills by humans and carnivore attacks on humans. Information gathered from Ugandan Game Department

Coexistence with Large Carnivores Supported by a Predator-Compensation Program
Environmental Management, 2018Compensation programs are used globally to increase tolerance for and help offset economic loss caused by large carnivores. Compensation program funding comes from a variety of sources, and in Wyoming and Idaho, USA and Alberta, Canada this includes revenue from hunting and fishing license sales.

Coexistence and the cheetah’s relations with other carnivores
2017In the southern Kalahari densities of large carnivores are relatively low, with the brown hyena the most abundant. Resource partitioning is well defined as each species tends to concentrate on the prey species it is best adapted to utilize, and they show dietary flexibility.

The Lion King and the Hyaena Queen: large carnivore interactions and coexistence
Biological Reviews, 2014ABSTRACTInteractions among species, which range from competition to facilitation, have profound effects on ecosystem functioning. Large carnivores are of particular importance in shaping community structure since they are at the top of the food chain, and many efforts are made to conserve such keystone species. Despite this, the mechanisms of carnivore
