Understanding variation in the diet of widely distributed species can help us to predict how
they respond to future environmental and anthropogenic changes. We studied the diet of the …

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 …

With an accelerating negative impact of anthropogenic actions on natural ecosystems, non-
invasive biodiversity assessments are becoming increasingly crucial. As a consequence, the …

Assessing the spatiotemporal overlap amongst animal species living in sympatry helps to
shed light on mechanisms of interspecific coexistence. We analysed the spatiotemporal …

Some carnivores are known to survive well in urban habitats, yet the underlying behavioral
tactics are poorly understood. One likely explanation for the success in urban habitats might …

The red fox Vulpes vulpes is one of the world's most widespread carnivores. A key to its
success has been its broad, opportunistic diet. The fox was introduced to Australia about …

Objectives Periodontal disease is a frequent diagnosis of dogs and can have severe
negative impacts on welfare. It was hypothesised that breeds with skull shapes that differ …

Aim Ongoing global changes can lead to the expansion of species' geographical range.
Exploring the drivers of the successful ongoing expansion of the golden jackal across …

Predation is a fundamental ecological process that shapes communities and drives
evolutionary dynamics. As the world rapidly urbanizes, it is critical to understand how human …

Edge effects occur when the matrix has adverse impacts on the patches of remnant habitat.
A widely explored example of this is the hypothesis of a higher predation pressure on bird …
