Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation. (2009, background): “There is evidence that predator coexistence may be facilitated in lower-productivity environments because apex predators may not reach sufficient densities to suppress mesopredators (Linnell & Strand 2000; Creel 2001; Hunter et al. 2007).”
Landscapes of Coexistence for terrestrial carnivores: the ecological consequences of being downgraded from ultimate to penultimate predator by humans (2015, background): “…refugia in response to risk of intraspecific and intraguild predation and competition during vulnerable activities e.g. when concealing young (Fernandez and Palomares 2000), resting (Switalski 2003), or feeding on a carcass that might attract the attention of larger carnivores (Hunter et al. 2007).”
