Multi‐scale maternal behavioral responses by white‐tailed deer to coyote predation risk
In the piedmont region of the southeastern US, white‐tailed deer adjust maternal care strategies in response to variation in risk of encountering coyotes. In areas frequented by coyotes, adult female deer (i.e., does) increase their use of space, likely to avoid drawing coyotes to the location where a fawn is hidden.

Challenges and opportunities in mitigating sarcoptic mange in wild South American camelids
Wild South American camelids—vicuña and guanaco—face threats from sarcoptic mange, a contagious skin disease linked to severe population declines. Despite its impact, major gaps remain in understanding disease dynamics. This review summarizes current knowledge, identifies key data and management gaps, and outlines urgent actions for effective ...

Survival of reintroduced fishers among differing sympatric predator and prey assemblages
We examined how predator and prey occurrence and relative abundance influenced survival rates in reintroduced fisher (Pekania pennanti) populations in the southern and northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA, and found lower fisher survival in the north than in the south.

Predators and scavengers: Polar bears as marine carrion providers
Scavenging is a foraging strategy widely used across the animal kingdom and apex predators provide a large amount of energy in a food web by provisioning carrion. In the harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic, apex predators such as polar bears Ursus maritimus can provide scavenging opportunities for many species. Carrion can act as a buffer when

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Predator–prey interactions in natural communities are complex, with predators often exploiting multiple prey types and generating indirect interactions among them. Ecological theory has traditionally modelled these interactions using functional response models which are
