A global assessment of large terrestrial carnivore kill rates
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 327-350, February 2025.ABSTRACT Through killing and instilling fear in their prey, large terrestrial carnivores shape the structure and function of ecosystems globally. Most large carnivore species have experienced severe range and population declines due to human activities, and many are now threatened with extinction.
