Trophic facilitation or limitation? Comparative effects of pumas and black bears on the scavenger community. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Scavenging is a widespread behaviour and an important process influencing food webs and ecological communities. Large carnivores facilitate the movement of energy across trophic levels through the scavenging and decomposition of their killed prey, but ...
