Interspecific competition and predation in American carnivore families (2008, methodology): “Caro & stoner (2003) characterized the potential for interspecific competition and predation on a species-by-species basis for African carnivores and found that African carnivores geographically overlapped with a mean of 41.0 other species.”
Using camera trapping and hierarchical occupancy modelling to evaluate the spatial ecology of an African mammal community (2016, methodology): “Secondly, because we only included camera station-specific covariates, we were unable to account for species-specific measures of predation and competition, which are known to influence species’ distributions (Caro & Stoner 2003).”
Dogs Canis familiaris as carnivores: their role and function in intraguild competition (2009, background): “…wild carnivores suggests that intraguild competition affects the persistence and abundance of carnivore populations and thus can have dramatic consequences for the structure of carnivore communities (Karanth & Sunquist, 2000; Linnell & Strand, 2000; Creel, Spong & Creel, 2001; Caro & Stoner, 2003).”
Big city life: carnivores in urban environments (2012, background): “Species with the most potential competitors (e.g. generalist diet species) may therefore have the greatest release from competition (Caro & Stoner, 2003) in urban zones.”
Intraguild predation in raptor assemblages: A review (2008, background): “Recent data on carnivores suggest that the potential for competitive and predatory interactions may be much higher in these regions than in the impoverished communities of much of the northern hemisphere (Caro & Stoner 2003).”
Feeding success of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in the Serengeti: the effects of group size and kleptoparasitism (2005, background): “There has been considerable interest in the influence of competition and predation among carnivores and the role this plays in the conservation of endangered carnivore species (Laurenson, 1994; Mills & Gorman, 1997; Palomares & Caro, 1999; Caro & Stoner, 2003 ).”
Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation. (2009, background): “In intact predator communities in Africa a carnivore may be at risk of attack from as many as 14.7 species of other carnivores (Caro & Stoner 2003).”
Local and continental correlates of the abundance of a neotropical cat, the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) (2008, background): “…densities of the smaller cats and other small carnivores are mostly affected by those of the larger cats, something that has been amply documented in Palaearctic and Palaeotropical carnivore communities (Caro & Stoner 2003, Crooks & Soulé 1999, Palomares et al. 1995, Rogers & Caro 1998).”
Predation by small mammalian carnivores in rural agro-ecosystems: An undervalued ecosystem service? (2017, background): “In smallholder agro-ecosystems, and many other modified landscapes, the removal of apex carnivore species from most human inhabited areas of Africa may have facilitated increased mesocarnivore abundance (Caro and Stoner, 2003; Prugh et al., 2009; Ritchie and Johnson, 2009).”
Diet overlap between harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin: An argument in favour of interference competition for food? (2006, unknown): “In top predators, exemplified by terrestrial carnivores (Caro and Stoner, 2003), competition can take different forms: avoidance, exploitative competition, food stealing or competitor killing.”
Occupancy patterns and niche partitioning within a diverse carnivore community exposed to anthropogenic pressures (2013, background): “Though no prior data exist on the composition of the local carnivore community, African savannah ecosystems such as the one found in Olkiramatian and Shompole, are capable of supporting a diverse carnivore community composed of >20 native species (Caro and Stoner, 2003).”
