The presence of exotic predators in ecosystems across the world is a leading driver of native
species' declines. Exotic predators largely influence native species through predation and …

Understanding how environmental factors interact to determine the abundance and
distribution of animals is a primary goal of ecology, and fundamental to the conservation of …

Madagascar does not have native wild felid species; however, distinct populations of free-
ranging “forest cats” of unknown species are known throughout the island, including at …

Understanding how the diversity of invasive species is geographically distributed and
identifying the major drivers of that pattern is a relevant challenge as regards invasion …

Effective, targeted management and conservation plans for wildlife populations require
reliable population sampling and estimation. Unfortunately, robust, comprehensive primate …

The proliferation of forest edges and invasive predators have been identified as two primary
threats to carnivore populations globally. These threats often occur in unison, facilitated by …

Divergent activity can change the intensity of species interactions, largely affecting species
distributions and abundances, and consequently influencing the composition and function of …

The patterns of species co-occurrence have long served as a primary approach to explore
concepts of interspecific interaction. However, the interpretation of such patterns is difficult …

Anthropogenic habitat alteration and invasive species are threatening carnivores globally.
Understanding the impact of these factors is critical for creating localized, effective …

Interspecific interactions of commensal non-native species such as domestic dogs and
livestock with native wildlife are evident issues in protected areas (PAs). We studied …
