Human land‐use effects on mammalian mesopredator occupancy of a northeastern Connecticut landscape

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9015

Abstract: Abstract Mammalian mesopredators—mid‐sized carnivores—are ecologically, economically, and socially important. With their adaptability to a variety of habitats and diets, loss of apex predators, and forest regrowth, many of these species are increasing in number throughout… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyz040

Abstract: Dietary (scat) analysis is a key tool for assessing the potential effects of predators on prey and for comparing resource use between predators, information that is crucial for effective wildlife management. However, misidentification of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mam.12357

Abstract: Conservation successes in Europe have sparked the recovery of apex predators, which may affect the populations of mesopredators. The mesopredator release hypothesis (MRH) predicts that a decline in apex predators triggers a ‘release’ of mesopredators… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/19400829221084261

Abstract: Background and Research Aims Forest loss and fragmentation have a negative impact on large-sized predators and prey, whose populations are reduced or extirpated locally. We explored the spatiotemporal coexistence of the mesopredators (< 15 kg)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3391/ai.2018.13.4.12

Abstract: Predator presence may result in non-lethal costs to prey; these costs may be even larger if both predators and prey do not naturally co-occur. We experimentally evaluated the survival of two aquatic invertebrates from the… read more here.
