Interactions among terrestrial carnivores involve a complex interplay of competition,
predation and facilitation via carrion provisioning, and these negative and positive pathways …

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 …

There is growing recognition of the important roles played by predators in regulating
ecosystems and sustaining biodiversity. Much attention has focused on the consequences of …

Recent advances in the ecology of food webs underscore the importance of detritus and
indirect predator–prey effects. However, most research considers detritus as an invariable …

For terrestrial carnivores, scat analysis is the technique most often used to determine diets.
Various methods of interpreting scat-analysis data exist; however, little is known about how …

The extent to which vertebrate carnivores shift facultatively between predation and
scavenging has recently been emphasized. Potentially, all carnivores have to do is wait until …

Competition and suppression are recognized as dominant forces that structure predator
communities. Facilitation via carrion provisioning, however, is a ubiquitous interaction …

Vultures provide an essential ecosystem service through removal of carrion, but globally,
many populations are collapsing and several species are threatened with extinction …

Summary 1 The re‐establishment of large carnivores in Norway has led to increased
conflicts and the adoption of regional zoning for these predators. When planning the future …

The effects of human disturbance spread over virtually all ecosystems and ecological
communities on Earth. In this review, we focus on the effects of human disturbance on …
