Kleptoparasitism and Coexistence: Resource Competition Between Indian Leopards and Striped Hyenas [PDF]
AnimalsIn ecosystems where multiple carnivores coexist, interspecific interactions are crucial in shaping behavioral adaptations and resource utilization strategies.

Kleptoparasitism attempt on a greater grison (Galictis vittata) by a white hawk (Pseudastur albicollis) in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2023 Facultative kleptoparasites face the risk of trying to steal food resources from competitors. This type of interaction is little known, but anecdotal observations indicate that birds of prey may take advantage of their accurate sight to detect the best ...

Kleptoparasitism in Micrurus mipartitus (Squamata, Elapidae) competing for the same Caecilia sp. (Gymnophiona, Caeciliidae) in western Colombia [PDF]
HerpetozoaKleptoparasitism, or food theft, is seldom reported in wild populations of snakes. Here, we describe as case where two Red-tailed Coral Snakes, Micrurus mipartitus, were observed competing for the same caecilian prey, either Caecilia leucocephala or C ...

First report of kleptoparasitism in Leptodeira rhombifera (Squamata, Dipsadidae) for a yellow toad Incilius luetkenii (Anura, Bufonidae) in Nicaragua [PDF]
Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa”Kleptoparasitism is a widely observed feeding strategy across various animal taxa. In snakes it is well documented in captivity, but rarely reported in the wild. This observation is the first of its kind in Nicaragua.

Recovering predators link aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems: River otters subsidize coyotes with carrion [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionDespite global declines in the abundance and distribution of predators, conservation and reintroduction efforts are increasingly leading to predator recoveries.

On deterministic and stochastic models of kleptoparasitism [PDF]
Journal of Interdisciplinary Mathematics, 2009 Kleptoparasitism, the stealing of food items, is a common biological phenomenon that has been studied mostly with the help of deterministic dynamics for infinite populations. The infinite population assumption takes the models far from the biological reality.

Kleptoparasitism in seabirds—A potential pathway for global avian influenza virus spread
Conservation LettersWild birds have experienced unprecedented, near‐global mass mortalities since 2021, driven by outbreaks of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 lineage 2.3.4.4b.

Caching reduces kleptoparasitism in a solitary, large felid [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 Summary Food caching is a common strategy used by a diversity of animals, including carnivores, to store and/or secure food. Despite its prevalence, the drivers of caching behaviour, and its impacts on individuals, remain poorly understood, particularly for short‐term food cachers.

Prey size mediates interference competition and predation dynamics in a large carnivore community [PDF]
Communications BiologyDirect competition for resources is especially fierce among predators, leading to disproportionately strong effects on fitness and functional roles. These competitive effects are exacerbated in complex predator guilds with dominance hierarchies that have
