The Potential for Subordinate Predator Release in Terrestrial Mammalian Carnivore Assemblages
Mammal 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
