An Assessment of Diet Overlap of Two Mesocarnivores in the North West Province, South Africa [PDF]

open access: yesAfrican Zoology, 2009
We used scat analysis to study the diet of two sympatric medium-sized carnivores: brown hyaena and black-backed jackal, in the NorthWest Province of South Africa. Seven major dietary categories were identified from the scats, with mammal remains being most common for both species.

Diet overlap and relative abundance of sympatric dasyurid carnivores: a hypothesis of competition [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 1998
1.  Diet overlap among age and sex classes of sympatric dasyurid carnivores (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) at Cradle Mountain National Park in Tasmania, Australia, was determined to assess the likelihood of current interspecific competition, which could influence and explain the disparate population densities of the three species. 2.

Diet Overlap Between Livestock and Wild Herbivores in the Greater Himalaya [PDF]

open access: yesMountain Research and Development, 2020
Understanding the niche usage and dietary habits of wild ungulate populations is crucial to monitoring their response to livestock grazing and changes in habitat quality. Livestock grazing is common throughout the Himalaya and may reduce available forage for wild ungulates, but few studies have assessed the impact of livestock grazing on the diets of ...
