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

The impact of increasing vertebrate predator numbers on bird populations is widely debated
among the general public, game managers and conservationists across Europe. However …

Top predators can suppress mesopredators by killing them, competing for resources and
instilling fear, but it is unclear how suppression of mesopredators varies with the distribution …

Human presence exerts complex effects on the ecology of species, which has implications
for biodiversity persistence in protected areas experiencing increasing human recreation …

Human disturbance may fundamentally alter the way that species interact, a prospect that
remains poorly understood. We investigated whether anthropogenic landscape modification …

Top-down suppression by apex predators can limit the abundance and spatial distribution of
mesopredators. However, this phenomenon has not been studied over long time periods in …

Climate change can have a marked effect on the distribution and abundance of some
species, as well as their interspecific interactions. In 1992, before ecological effects of …

Aggression by top predators can create a “landscape of fear” in which subordinate predators
restrict their activity to low‐risk areas or times of day. At large spatial or temporal scales, this …

Understanding how the diet of an ecologically important mesopredator varies throughout a
large region can provide an insight into the trophic responses of generalist carnivores to …

In ecologically pristine ecosystems, top-down effects of apex predators play a fundamental
role in shaping trophic cascades and structuring ecosystems, but in human-modified …
