Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 6, November 2024.This study illustrates that coexistence with the apex predator is feasible through strategic adaptation to fulfill the resource requisition. Abstract Large carnivores play a crucial role in trophic cascades, affecting the population dynamics of both co‐predators and prey within an ecosystem. Understanding the significance of these carnivores in trophic
