Stable isotope characterization of mammalian predator–prey relationships in a South African savanna (2007, background): “All three (jackal, genet and ratel), however, are expected to feed predominantly on invertebrates, including many insect and arachnid species, at least in some environmental conditions (Skinner and Smithers 1990; Loveridge and Macdonald 2003).”
A comparison and critique of different scat‐analysis methods for determining carnivore diet (2011, background): “In contrast, the overlap of Ro = 0.32 (BioGosz) was one of the lowest for two sympatric canid species found in the literature (e.g. Loveridge & Macdonald 2003, Kamler et al. 2007).”
Diet, Prey Selection, and Predation Impact of Black-Backed Jackals in South Africa (2010, methodology): “Based on these categories (but excluding the category unidentified mammals), we calculated dietary niche breadth (B) according to Levins’ formula (Loveridge and Macdonald 2003), using biomass (BBio) as well as frequency of occurrence data (BOcc).”
Feeding habits and trophic niche overlap between sympatric golden jackal (Canis aureus) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in the Pannonian ecoregion (Hungary) (2006, unknown): “Between sympatric canids in North America (Neale and Sacks 2001) or Africa (Loveridge and Macdonald 2003), high trophic niche overlaps were found; for example, be-tween the coyote ( Canis latrans Say, 1823) and gray fox ( Urocyon cinereoargenteus (Schreber, 1775)) and between the black-backed…”
Dietary Niche Separation Between Sympatric Free-Ranging Domestic Dogs and Indian Foxes in Central India (2009, methodology): “…percent relative occurrence (RO), defined as: RO~ p 100ð Þ T , where p is the number of occurrences of each prey type and T is total occurrences of all prey types in all samples, which represents the relative importance of a given food type in the diet of the species (Loveridge and Macdonald 2003).”
Dietary resource partitioning among sympatric New Zealand and Australian fur seals (2005, background): “However, a more common response to interspecific competition is that individuals of 1 species modify the way they use resources, altering the niche they exploit (Loveridge & Macdonald 2003).”
Time Partitioning Favors the Coexistence of Sympatric Crab-Eating Foxes (Cerdocyon thous) and Pampas Foxes (Lycalopex gymnocercus) (2009, background): “…scale (e.g., their territories do not overlap) as a result of the subordinate species being excluded by the dominant one from the more productive or more secure areas (Jiménez et al. 1996; Johnson and Franklin 1994a; Loveridge and Macdonald 2003; Mitchell and Banks 2005; Tannerfeldt et al. 2002).”
