Human disturbance has contrasting effects on niche partitioning within carnivore communities
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 …

Competition and coexistence among terrestrial mammalian carnivores
Background & Aim: Carnivores play an important role in maintaining the structural and
functional stability of ecosystems. Increasing anthropogenic pressure has resulted in …

Ecological traits and the spatial structure of competitive coexistence among carnivores
Competition is a widespread interaction among carnivores, ultimately manifested through
one or more dimensions of the species' ecological niche. One of the most explicit …

Effects of human impacts on habitat use, activity patterns and ecological relationships among medium and small felids of the Atlantic Forest
Competition theory and niche theory suggest that two morphologically similar species may
coexist by reducing the overlap of at least one dimension of their ecological niche. The …

Ecological correlates of the spatial co‐occurrence of sympatric mammalian carnivores worldwide
The composition of local mammalian carnivore communities has far‐reaching effects on
terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. To better understand how carnivore communities are …

Hunting, exotic carnivores, and habitat loss: anthropogenic effects on a native carnivore community, Madagascar
The wide-ranging, cumulative, negative effects of anthropogenic disturbance, including
habitat degradation, exotic species, and hunting, on native wildlife has been well …

The role of human outdoor recreation in shaping patterns of grizzly bear-black bear co-occurrence
Species' distributions are influenced by a combination of landscape variables and biotic
interactions with other species, including people. Grizzly bears and black bears are …

Threats to a rainforest carnivore community: A multi-year assessment of occupancy and co-occurrence in Madagascar
Protected areas (PA) aim to eliminate many of the threats that species face on the greater
landscape. In the last three decades, PA's have expanded considerably; however …

Exploring and interpreting spatiotemporal interactions between native and invasive carnivores across a gradient of rainforest degradation
Studies of elusive carnivores often rely on passive sampling when investigating either
spatial or temporal interactions. However, inference on behavioral mechanisms are usually …

Rapid recolonisation of feral cats following intensive culling in a semi-isolated context
Invasive feral cats threaten biodiversity at a global scale. Mitigating feral cat impacts and
reducing their populations has therefore become a global conservation priority, especially …
