Prey mortality profiles indicate that Early Pleistocene Homo at Olduvai was an ambush predator (2014, unknown): “The classic study of the Serengeti lion population (Schaller, 1972; Sinclair, 1977) includes a wealth of high-resolution mortality data, which Bunn and Pickering (2010) used.”
Evolution of Cooperation among Mammalian Carnivores and Its Relevance to Hominin Evolution (2012, result): “…with the smallest Akaike Information Criterion corrected (AICc) for small sample size to be the best while retaining any models with dAICc (difference between the AICc of the best model and the model being considered) values of less than 2 as essentially equivalent (Burnham and Anderson 2002).”
Homo vs. Pachycrocuta: Earliest evidence of competition for an elephant carcass between scavengers at Fuente Nueva-3 (Orce, Spain) (2013, background): “Instead, the new interpretive context implies that the abundance of cut marks reflects a primary access to these resources (Bunn and Ezzo, 1993; Dóminguez-Rodrigo et al., 2007; Bunn and Pickering, 2010).”
