Within carnivore guilds, dominant competitors (eg, lions, Panthera leo) are limited primarily
by the density of prey, while subordinate competitors (eg, African wild dogs, Lycaon pictus) …

Interspecific competition has strong effects within carnivore guilds, and African wild dogs are
strongly limited by intraguild predation by lions and food loss to spotted hyenas. The …

populations on which they depend. The densities of apex carnivores like the lion and …

Prey depletion threatens many carnivore species across the world and can especially
threaten low‐density subordinate competitors, particularly if subordinates are limited to low …

Background Prey depletion is a threat to the world's large carnivores, and is likely to affect
subordinate competitors within the large carnivore guild disproportionately. African lions limit …
