Despite the shared prediction that the width of a population's dietary niche expands as food
becomes limiting, the Niche Variation Hypothesis (NVH) and Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) …

Estimating densities of cougar (Puma concolor) is important for managing cougars and their
prey but remains challenging because of cougar's elusive and solitary behavior. To evaluate …

Analyzing predator scats for the presence of prey is a common noninvasive approach to
