The influence of large predators on the feeding ecology of two African mesocarnivores: the black-backed jackal and the brown hyaena [PDF]
, 2013 Interactions between apex and mesopredators and their impacts on prey populations have been well documented, while the influence of apex predators such as lions on carrion availability and the subsequent impacts at lower trophic levels are not fully ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.In this study, we combine tourist‐contributed images with camera trap‐based monitoring data to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population densities using multi‐session spatial capture–recapture models. We show that incorporating tourist observations improves precision and yields an overall density estimate of 7.02 leopards per 100 km2, while ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.
