Enemies with benefits: integrating positive and negative interactions among terrestrial carnivores
LR Prugh, KJ Sivy - Ecology Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Interactions among terrestrial carnivores involve a complex interplay of competition,
predation and facilitation via carrion provisioning, and these negative and positive pathways …

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 …

Widespread shifts in body size within populations and assemblages
Biotic responses to global change include directional shifts in organismal traits. Body size,
an integrative trait that determines demographic rates and ecosystem functions, is thought to …

Evaluating the efficacy of predator removal in a conflict-prone world
Predators shape ecosystem structure and function through their direct and indirect effects on
prey, which permeate through ecological communities. Predators are often perceived as …

Human disturbance is the most limiting factor driving habitat selection of a large carnivore throughout Continental Europe
L Ripari, J Premier, E Belotti, H Bluhm… - Biological …, 2022 - Elsevier
Habitat selection is a multi-scale process driven by trade-offs between benefits, such as
resource abundance, and disadvantages, such as the avoidance of risk. The latter includes …

An ecological framework for contextualizing carnivore–livestock conflict
Carnivore predation on livestock is a complex management and policy challenge, yet it is
also intrinsically an ecological interaction between predators and prey. Human–wildlife …
