Spatiotemporal patterns of lion space use in a human-dominated landscape (2015, background): “Lions are generally crepuscular and nocturnal (Cozzi et al. 2012; Hayward & Slotow, 2009; Prins & Iason, 1989; Schaller, 1972).”
Nowhere to hide: pumas, black bears, and competition refuges (2015, background): “…behavioral strategies exhibited by the subordinate competitor that may buffer them from competition (e.g., temporal partitioning of shared resources; Hayward and Slotow 2009), or 4) where dominant foragers only partially consume their prey and the “scraps” subsidize the subordinate forager…”
Human activity reduces niche partitioning among three widespread mesocarnivores (2018, background): “In some instances, interspecific competition is the most impactful driver of temporal partitioning (Hayward and Slotow 2009), allowing for coexistence when carnivores exploit the same prey communities.”
Lion hunting behaviour and vegetation structure in an African savanna (2013, unknown): “The recording schedule was adjusted during the sampling period because the second schedule reduced the battery usage and focused on periods when lions are active (Hayward & Slotow 2009).”
Mesopredator spatial and temporal responses to large predators and human development in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California (2015, background): “Temporal partitioning between predators species is a potential evolutionary strategy employed by subordinate species to avoid encountering and being killed by a dominant competitor (Gehrt and Prange, 2007; Hayward and Slotow, 2009; Palomares and Caro, 1999; Schuette et al., 2013).”
As clear as mud: A critical review of evidence for the ecological roles of Australian dingoes (2013, background): “…highest activity periods for top-predators usually coincide with the highest activity periods of their preferred prey and mesopredators usually avoid top-predators during these times at fine scales (e.g. Atwood et al., 2011; Hayward and Slotow, 2009; Mitchell and Banks, 2005; Ramesh et al., 2012).”
Being the underdog: an elusive small carnivore uses space with prey and time without enemies (2014, background): “…nocturnal/crepuscular predators that motivates the observed circadian activity of Altai mountain weasels or whether other factors are responsible, for example, that activity coincides with the warmer part of the day or with the period when prey is most vulnerable (see also Hayward & Slotow, 2009).”
Panthera pardus (Carnivora: Felidae) (2013, background): “In Kenya and South Africa, 66% of activity of Panthera pardus is nocturnal (Hayward and Slotow 2009).”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “…Gese 2007; Linnell and Strand 2000; Mukherjee et al. 2009), prey competition (Cypher et al. 2001) and kleptoparasitism (Cooper 1991; Gorman et al. 1998) can generate avoidance of larger carnivores through spatio-temporal partitioning (Crooks and Soulé 1999; Durant 2000; Hayward and Slotow 2009).”
Impacts of People and Tigers on Leopard Spatiotemporal Activity Patterns in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot (2015, background): “Interspecific competitionwith other sympatric large carnivores may also impact leopard spatiotemporal activities (Seidensticker, 1976; Karanth and Sunquist, 2000; Hayward and Slotow, 2009; Wang and Macdonald, 2009; Odden et al., 2010; Vanak et al., 2013).”
