Using a recently developed camera trapping method to improve monitoring efforts for African small carnivore species

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
Camera trapping is frequently used to study small carnivores but can result in limited detection rates for small, fast moving species. We tested the Mostela, a recently developed camera trapping method, for monitoring small carnivores in the Garden Route, South Africa.

Dominance at the Dinner Table: Interspecific Competition Between Hyaenas and Jackals at Scavenging Sites

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Carnivore assemblages in ecosystems worldwide are shaped by intense interspecific competition for critical resources such as food and habitat. Despite extensive research on coexistence strategies, detailed investigations into interspecific interactions at carcass sites remain limited. This study fills the gap by investigating the interspecific

Knocking on heaven's door : are novel invaders necessarily facing naive native species on islands ? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The impact of alien predator species on insular native biota has often been attributed to island prey naivete (i.e. lack of, or inefficient, anti-predator behavior).

Control of carnivore overpopulation (Egyptian Mongoose and red fox) : study case in the council of Azambuja (Portugal) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The presence of predators in a habitat is considered a stabilizing force in the population of herbivores, contributing to the balance of the ecosystem. However, the predator’s overpopulation causes a drastic reduction of primary consumers, exceeding the ...
