Disease-driven top predator decline affects mesopredator population genomic structure
Top predator declines are pervasive and often have dramatic effects on ecological
communities via changes in food web dynamics, but their evolutionary consequences are …

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 …

Terrestrial mesopredators did not increase after top-predator removal in a large-scale experimental test of mesopredator release theory
Removal or loss of top-predators has been predicted to cause cascading negative effects for
ecosystems, including mesopredator release. However, reliable evidence for these …
