• Altered activity patterns and reduced abundance of native mammals in sites with feral dogs in the high Andes (2016, background): “Density estimates of feral dogs in the study area (~1 individual/km2) are lower than estimates for free-ranging dogs from other localities worldwide (e.g., 2.5–76.8 individuals/km2; Campos et al. 2007; Lembo et al. 2008), but because feral dogs form packs, their impacts may be particularly large.”
• Matrix is important for mammals in landscapes with small amounts of native forest habitat (2011, background): “Higher matrix development intensity can increase the resistance of the matrix to dispersal by reducing the likelihood of safe dispersal through greater predation by increased domestic or exotic predators (Riley et al. 2005; Campos et al. 2007) and a higher density of roads increasing chances of deat”
• 9 Pathways to Animal Domestication (2012, background): “…cats and dogs in southeastern Brazil are found in significantly higher density in suburban areas than in rural ones, suggesting that these animals retain a strong connection to the human environment and are not exploiting more open niches in rural areas to the same extent (Campos et al. 2007).”
• Dogs Canis familiaris as carnivores: their role and function in intraguild competition (2009, background): “For example, in an examination of feral dog diet in Brazil, remains of small carnivores such as coati Nasua nasua and lesser grison Galictis cuja were found in dog scats (Campos et al., 2007), although it is unclear what percentage of these was scavenged.”
• Is Wildlife Going to the Dogs? Impacts of Feral and Free-Roaming Dogs on Wildlife Populations (2011, unknown): “…on and off leash Source Butler et al. 2004 SilleraZubiri and Gotelli 1994 Green et al. 1984, Black and Green 1985, Timm and Schmidt 1990 Ciucci and Boitani 1998 Campos et al. 2007 Lenth et al. 2008 ; R collected as wolf scat were misidentified and were actually from dogs (Echegaray and Vila 2010).”
• Dietary Niche Separation Between Sympatric Free-Ranging Domestic Dogs and Indian Foxes in Central India (2009, background): “Despite large global populations of dogs in rural or natural environments, only a handful of studies have quantified the diets of free-ranging dogs (Atickem 2003; Butler and du Toit 2002; Butler et al. 2004; Campos et al. 2007; Glen and Dickman 2008; Glen et al. 2006; Mitchell and Banks 2005).”
