The aims of this review are to describe the role of 'blue‐food production'(animals, plants and
algae harvested from freshwater and marine environments) within a circular bioeconomy …

Large wild herbivores are crucial to ecosystems and human societies. We highlight the 74
largest terrestrial herbivore species on Earth (body mass≥ 100 kg), the threats they face …

The majority of the world's terrestrial large carnivores have undergone substantial range
contractions and many of these species are currently threatened with extinction. However …

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

Decomposition contributes to global ecosystem function by contributing to nutrient recycling,
energy flow, and limiting biomass accumulation. The decomposer organisms influencing this …

Since the origin of early Homo species during the Late Pliocene, interactions of humans with
scavenging birds and mammals have changed in form through shifting ecological scenarios …

Carrion is a valuable nutrient resource used by a diversity of vertebrates across the globe.
However, vertebrate scavenging ecology remains an understudied area of science …

The decomposition of animal biomass (carrion) contributes to the recycling of energy and
nutrients through ecosystems. Whereas the role of plant decomposition in ecosystems is …

Within a large carnivore guild, subordinate competitors (African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, and
cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus) might reduce the limiting effects of dominant competitors (lion …

The particle size of the food resource strongly determines the structure and dynamics of food
webs. However, the ecological implications of carcass size variation for scavenging …
