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 …

Spatial partitioning in ecological communities has predominantly been described in two
dimensions, yet habitat is complex and 3D. Complex space use mediates community …

Rapid expansion of human activity has driven well-documented shifts in the spatial
distribution of wildlife, but the cumulative effect of human disturbance on the temporal …

Camera traps and radiotags commonly are used to estimate animal activity curves.
However, little empirical evidence has been provided to validate whether they produce …

Limiting similarity theory predicts that competing species must segregate along one or more
dimensions of their ecological niche in order to coexist. In predator communities …

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

The activity patterns of mammals are generally categorized as nocturnal, diurnal,
crepuscular (active at twilight), and cathemeral (active throughout the day). These patterns …

An animal's daily use of time (their “diel activity”) reflects their adaptations, requirements,
and interactions, yet we know little about the underlying processes governing diel activity …

Daily activity patterns in mammals depend on food availability, reproductive stage, habitat
selection, intraspecific interactions and predation risk, among other factors. Some mammals …

The degree of coexistence among predators can determine the structure of ecological
communities. Niche partitioning is a common strategy applied by species to enhance their …
