Domestic Cattle in a National Park Restricting the Sika Deer Due to Diet Overlap. [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals (Basel), 2023
Managers need to know the extent of the conflict between livestock and wild animals. Although many studies have reported the conflict between livestock and wild animals, few have checked the extent of the conflict. Cattle raising in the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park is considered one of the main driving forces behind the restricted ...

Diet overlap among non‐native trout species and native cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii) in two U.S. ecoregions [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The invasion of freshwater ecosystems by non‐native species can constitute a significant threat to native species and ecosystem health. Non‐native trouts have long been stocked in areas where native trouts occur and have negatively impacted native trouts

Diet Overlap and Foraging Activity between Feral Pigs and Native Peccaries in the Pantanal. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2015
Inter-specific competition is considered one of the main selective pressures affecting species distribution and coexistence. Different species vary in the way they forage in order to minimize encounters with their competitors and with their predators. However, it is still poorly known whether and how native species change their foraging behavior in the

Similar diets in two syntopic lizard species (Squamata: Teiidae) from an island in northeastern Argentina

open access: yesCaldasia, 2023
How coexisting species partition resources is a central focus of ecology, and diet is an important potential axis of competition. Here, we study the diet of syntopic populations of the lizards Ameivula apipensis and Teius oculatus from an island in ...

Understanding carnivore interactions in a cold arid trans‐Himalayan landscape: What drives co‐existence patterns within predator guild along varying resource gradients?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Predators compete for resources aggressively, forming trophic hierarchies that shape the structure of an ecosystem. Competitive interactions between species are modified in the human‐altered environment and become particularly important where an ...
