The Potential for Subordinate Predator Release in Terrestrial Mammalian Carnivore Assemblages

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 4, October 2025.
Results from the literature review showed that the potential for release is not strictly size‐based and could occur between pairs not usually considered ‘apex’ or ‘meso’ There was equal representation of felids and canids as dominant predators, but subordinate predators were more commonly canids. ABSTRACT Mesopredator release occurs when the decline of

open access: yesZoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 332-344, July/August 2025.
Feeding and diet may play a part in maternal success. Cheetahs who are reported to feed on ruminant meat have larger litters of cubs than female cheetahs who are not, while female cheetahs who are reported to experience starve days have a higher incidence of stillbirths.

Surviving in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation: Richness and Defaunation of Mammals in Priority‐Protected Areas of the Brazilian Midwest

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.
We found rich and compositionally different assemblages of medium and large‐sized mammals in protected areas on the southern edge of Amazon. However, both have high rates of mammal defaunation. We argue that anthropogenic threats in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation are eroding large ungulate populations, especially peccaries.
