Fire as a driver and mediator of predator–prey interactions
Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of
animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire …

Cats, foxes and fire: Quantitative review reveals that invasive predator activity is most likely to increase shortly after fire
Background Predators and fire shape ecosystems across the globe and these two forces
can interact to impact prey populations. This issue is particularly pertinent in Australia where …

Mammalian resistance to megafire in western US woodland savannas
Increasingly frequent megafires are dramatically altering landscapes and critical habitats
around the world. Across the western United States, megafires have become an almost …

Rain, recreation and risk: Human activity and ecological disturbance create seasonal risk landscapes for the prey of an ambush predator
HN Abernathy, DA Crawford… - Journal of Animal …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Predation risk and prey responses exhibit fluctuations in space and time. Seasonal
ecological disturbances can alter landscape structure and permeability to influence predator …

Balancing carnivore conservation and sustainable hunting of a key prey species: A case study on the Florida panther and white‐tailed deer
Large carnivore restoration programs are often promoted as capable of providing ecosystem
services. However, these programs rarely measure effects of successful restoration on other …

Noninvasive camera data and spatial capture–recapture models reveal strong temporal variation in fawn survival
In south Florida, white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are the primary prey of the
endangered Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi). Deer populations in some regions of …

Movement behavior in a dominant ungulate underlies successful adjustment to a rapidly changing landscape following megafire
Background Movement plays a key role in allowing animal species to adapt to sudden
environmental shifts. Anthropogenic climate and land use change have accelerated the …

White-tailed deer responses to acoustic predator cues are contingent upon past land use and contemporary fire regime
Prey can assess the immediate risk of predation by detecting cues of predator presence, and
it is expected that prey should invest in costly antipredator behaviors when a cue of predator …
