Among species, coexistence is driven partly by the partitioning of available resources. The
mechanisms of coexistence and competition among species have been a central topic …

Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

The establishment of protected areas (PAs) is a central strategy for global biodiversity
conservation. While the role of PAs in protecting habitat has been highlighted, their …

Habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats to global biodiversity. Felids, among the
many taxa experiencing population declines and range contraction around the world, are …

Carnivores have long been used as model organisms to examine mechanisms that allow
coexistence among ecologically similar species. Interactions between carnivores, including …

Changing climate will impact species' ranges only when environmental variability directly
impacts the demography of local populations. However, measurement of demographic …

Competition is a widespread interaction among carnivores, ultimately manifested through
one or more dimensions of the species' ecological niche. One of the most explicit …

Among mammals, the order Primates is exceptional in having a high taxonomic richness in
which the taxa are arboreal, semiterrestrial, or terrestrial. Although habitual terrestriality is …

Spatial relationships between sympatric species underpin biotic interactions, structure
ecological communities, and maintain ecosystem health. However, the resilience of …

Understanding whether invasive and native species compete for shared resources where
they co‐occur is essential for mitigating the negative impacts of invasive species on native …
