• Predation or scavenging? Prey body condition influences decision‐making in a facultative predator, the wolverine (2016, background): “The relative importance of predation vs. scavenging has so far been underrepresented in the ecological research on predator–prey relations (DeVault et al. 2003, Wilson and Wolkovich 2011, Moleón et al. 2014, Pereira et al. 2014).”
• Collapse of the world’s largest herbivores (2015, unknown): “Large herbivore carcasses yield more nutrients to a wider suite of scavengers than those of smaller species because the latter are usually consumed completely, whereas large carnivores tend to consume relatively less of large carcasses, thereby leaving more for other species (49).”
