A comprehensive review of mammalian carnivore translocations
Carnivore conservation translocations are assumed to provide numerous ecological
benefits, including conservation of the translocated carnivores, regulation of prey species …

Temporal partitioning of activity: Rising and falling top‐predator abundance triggers community‐wide shifts in diel activity
Top predators cause avoidance behaviours in competitors and prey, which can lead to niche
partitioning and facilitate coexistence. We investigate changes in partitioning of the temporal …

Top-down and bottom-up effects modulate species co-existence in a context of top predator restoration
Mesopredators abundance is often limited by top-order predators and also by key food
resources. However, the contribution of these bidirectional forces to structure carnivore …

[HTML][HTML] Evaluating the performance of conservation translocations in large carnivores across the world
Globally, fragmented landscapes and other anthropogenic pressures are causing declines
in large carnivore populations. Conservation organizations are working to counteract these …

Mesopredator release among invasive predators: Controlling red foxes can increase feral cat density and alter their behaviour
The mesopredator release theory predicts that the density of subordinate predators will
increase as dominant predators decline. Persistent debate around mesopredator release in …

Reintroducing extirpated herbivores could partially reverse the late Quaternary decline of large and grazing species
Aim Reinstating large, native herbivores is an essential component of ecological restoration
efforts, as these taxa can be important drivers of ecological processes. However, many …

Sampling bias exaggerates a textbook example of a trophic cascade
Understanding trophic cascades in terrestrial wildlife communities is a major challenge
because these systems are difficult to sample properly. We show how a tradition of non …
