• Interference competition at the landscape level: the effect of free-ranging dogs on a native mesocarnivore (2010, background): “The dynamics of interference competition are particularly well documented among native species in the Carnivora family Canidae (Cypher & Spencer 1998; Creel, Spong & Creel 2001; Nelson et al. 2007; Ritchie & Johnson 2009).”
• Nocturnal ranging behaviour of urban hedgehogs, Erinaceus europaeus, in relation to risk and reward (2010, background): “1987) or, where home ranges overlap, by utilizing different habitats (Nelson et al. 2007) or restricting movements to very localized areas (Moehrenschlager et al.”
• Stable isotopes evaluate exploitation of anthropogenic foods by the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) (2010, background): “…relate to the scarcity of large predators (Cypher 2010), because interference competition with coyotes is a significant source of mortality for kit foxes in nonurban areas in the southern San Joaquin Valley (Cypher and Spencer 1998; Cypher et al. 2000; Nelson et al. 2007; Ralls and White 1995).”
• Dietary Niche Separation Between Sympatric Free-Ranging Domestic Dogs and Indian Foxes in Central India (2009, background): “For example, coyotes (Canis latrans) compete for similar food resources with swift foxes (Vulpes velox) and kit foxes (V. macrotis), as indicated by a high dietary overlap (Kamler et al. 2007a; Kitchen et al. 1999; Nelson et al. 2007; White et al. 1995).”
• Dogs Canis familiaris as carnivores: their role and function in intraguild competition (2009, background): “Kit foxes Vulpes macrotis are known to use several anti-predatory tactics, such as multiple diurnal den use and habitat partitioning, to avoid interference competition with coyotes (Nelson et al., 2007).”
