Species that respond to ecosystem change in a timely, measurable, and interpretable way
can be used as sentinels of global change. Contrary to a pervasive view, we suggest that …

The continued loss of freshwater habitats poses a significant threat to global biodiversity. We
reviewed the extinction risk of 166 freshwater aquatic and semiaquatic mammals—a group …

Growing threats to biodiversity demand timely, detailed information on species occurrence,
diversity and abundance at large scales. Camera traps (CTs), combined with computer …

The challenge that large carnivores face in coexisting with humans calls into question their
ability to carry out critical ecosystem functions such as mesopredator suppression outside …

Free-ranging cats (Felis catus) are globally distributed invasive carnivores that markedly
impact biodiversity. Here, to evaluate the potential threat of cats, we develop a …

Coyotes Canis latrans have expanded their geographic range by 40% in the last 120 years,
raising questions about their ecological impacts in the newly colonised areas. Despite a …

Despite the ecological importance of the four extant species of Hyaenidae, and the threats
they face globally, there has been no review of the nearly 100 years of published research …

Carnivore community dynamics are governed by a complex set of often interacting biotic,
abiotic and anthropogenic factors that are increasingly volatile as a result of global change …

Abstract Theory on intraguild killing (IGK) is central to mammalian carnivore community
ecology and top‐down ecosystem regulation. Yet, the cryptic nature of IGK hinders empirical …

Small carnivores–here defined as members of the mammalian order Carnivora with a body
mass< 21.5 kg–occur worldwide, including in Oceania, following introductions. They are …
