Beyond spatial overlap: harnessing new technologies to resolve the complexities of predator–prey interactions

JP Suraci, JA Smith, S Chamaillé‐Jammes, KM Gaynor… - Oikos, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

Integrating temporal refugia into landscapes of fear: prey exploit predator downtimes to forage in risky places

JA Smith, E Donadio, JN Pauli, MJ Sheriff… - Oecologia, 2019 - Springer
The landscape of fear is an important driver of prey space use. However, prey can navigate
the landscape of fear by exploiting temporal refuges from predation risk. We hypothesized …

Cascading effects of a disease outbreak in a remote protected area

JD Monk, JA Smith, E Donadío, PL Perrig… - Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Disease outbreaks induced by humans increasingly threaten wildlife communities
worldwide. Like predators, pathogens can be key top‐down forces in ecosystems, initiating …

Contrasting patterns of risk from human and non‐human predators shape temporal activity of prey

KM Gaynor, A McInturff… - Journal of Animal …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Spatiotemporal variation in predation risk arises from interactions between landscape
heterogeneity, predator densities and predator hunting mode, generating landscapes of fear …

A novel trophic cascade between cougars and feral donkeys shapes desert wetlands

EJ Lundgren, D Ramp, OS Middleton… - Journal of Animal …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Introduced large herbivores have partly filled ecological gaps formed in the late Pleistocene,
when many of the Earth's megafauna were driven extinct. However, extant predators are …

Where and when to hunt? Decomposing predation success of an ambush carnivore

JA Smith, E Donadio, OR Bidder, JN Pauli, MJ Sheriff… - Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Predator–prey games emerge when predators and prey dynamically respond to the
behavior of one another, driving the outcomes of predator–prey interactions. Predation …

Fine-scale movement decisions by a large carnivore inform conservation planning in human-dominated landscapes

JP Suraci, BA Nickel, CC Wilmers - Landscape Ecology, 2020 - Springer
Context Developed landscapes are increasingly important movement habitat for many large
carnivore populations, despite fragmentation and heightened anthropogenic risks. The …

Landscapes shaped from the top down: predicting cascading predator effects on spatial biogeochemistry

JD Monk, OJ Schmitz - Oikos, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Spatial heterogeneity in ecological systems can result from animal‐driven top–down
processes, but despite some theoretical attention, the emergence of spatial heterogeneity …
