Scavenging with invasive species
Carrion acts as a hotspot of animal activity within many ecosystems globally, attracting
scavengers that rely on this food source. However, many scavengers are invasive species …

Roadkill scavenging behaviour in an urban environment
Roads can have negative impacts on wildlife through indirect effects such as fragmentation
of habitat, or through direct effects such as fatal collisions with vehicles. Wildlife deaths on …

Global change influences scavenging and carrion decomposition
Carrion decomposition is fundamental to nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems because it
provides a high-quality resource to diverse organisms. A conceptual framework …

The consequences of predators without prey
Rapid and ongoing environmental change is leading to scenarios where marine and
terrestrial predators are persisting without prey, either by scavenging or using anthropogenic …

The mesoscavenger release hypothesis and implications for ecosystem and human well‐being
Many apex scavenger species, including nearly all obligate scavengers, are in a state of
rapid decline and there is growing evidence these declines can drastically alter ecological …

Understanding how mammalian scavengers use information from avian scavengers: cue from above
1. Interspecific social information transfer can play a key role in many aspects of animal
ecology from foraging to habitat selection to predator avoidance. 2. Within scavenging …
