Conflicts between large mammalian predators and humans present a challenge to
conservation efforts, as these events drive human attitudes and policies concerning predator …

Habitat connectivity influences the distribution dynamics of animals. Connectivity can
therefore shape trophic interactions, but little empirical evidence is available, especially for …

Predators use different spatial tactics to track the prey on the landscape. Three hypotheses
describe spatial tactics: prey abundance for prey that are aggregated in space; prey habitat …

Spatial heterogeneity in the strength of trophic interactions is a fundamental property of food
web spatial dynamics. The feeding effort of herbivores should reflect adaptive decisions that …

Predator reintroductions are often used as a means of restoring the ecosystem services that
these species can provide. The ecosystem consequences of predator reintroduction depend …

Predator–prey interactions are central to fitness as animals simultaneously avoid death and
consume resources to ensure growth and reproduction. Along with direct effects, predators …

Animal movement is central to ecology and of paramount importance to understand
processes underlying the emergence of empirical space-use patterns. In this study, we …

The ability to locate suitable food resources affects fitness in animals. Therefore, movements
are necessary to optimize foraging in habitats where food is distributed in patches of …

Theoretical and empirical studies have addressed predator-prey relationships, but the
relevance of individual prey species, prey species richness and environment on the niche …

Highlights•We tested predictions of an interference ideal free distribution model for predators
and prey in a tritrophic system.•We quantified the strength of interspecific competition, the …
