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.

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.

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.
