Dracula's Menagerie Reloaded: Assessing the Relative Roles of Habitat and Interspecific Interactions in an Intact Mammalian Assemblage Using Structural Equation Modeling

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
We used an intact mammalian assemblage in the Romanian Carpathians to evaluate the relative importance of top‐down and bottom‐up processes and provide a benchmark for understanding the effects and the success of rewilding initiatives. We used camera trap data from two consecutive years in the Southern Romanian Carpathians and developed hypothesis‐based
