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 …

Mammalian mycophagy: a global review of ecosystem interactions between mammals and fungi
The consumption of fungi by animals is a significant trophic interaction in most terrestrial
ecosystems, yet the role mammals play in these associations has been incompletely …

Plasticity in circadian activity patterns of mesocarnivores in Southwestern Europe: implications for species coexistence
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 …

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 …

Coexistence of predators in time: Effects of season and prey availability on species activity within a Mediterranean carnivore guild
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 …

Top-down and bottom-up effects modulate species co-existence in a context of top predator restoration
Mesopredators abundance is often limited by top-order predators and also by key food
resources. However, the contribution of these bidirectional forces to structure carnivore …

Increasing homogeneity of Mediterranean landscapes limits the co-occurrence of mesocarnivores in space and time
Abstract Context The Mediterranean basin is characterized by a heterogeneous landscape
historically shaped by human activities. Land abandonment and extensive monocultures …
