Livestock predation by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, and their vulnerability to retaliatory killing in the Maasai steppe, Tanzania (2008, background): “The main prey for hyenas includes wildebeest, zebra and Thomson gazelle Gazella thomsonii (Kruuk, 1972; Höner et al., 2002).”
Temporal Partitioning of Activity in Large African Carnivores: Tests of Multiple Hypotheses (2009, background): “At an ecosystem level, it seems likely that bottom-up limitation may be affecting all members of the guild, as evidenced by the strong linear relationships between their density and that of their prey (East 1984; Scheel & Packer 1995; Honer et al. 2002; Hayward et al. 2007b).”
Predation or scavenging? Prey body condition influences decision‐making in a facultative predator, the wolverine (2016, background): “…gradient; from almost obligate predators (many solitary felids; Hayward et al. 2006, Mattisson et al. 2011b); to facultative scavengers ( hyaenidea, mustelidae, and canidae; Höner et al. 2002, Lofroth et al. 2007, Metz et al. 2012), ending with obligate scavengers (vultures; Moleón et al. 2014).”
Prey preferences of the spotted hyaena (Crocuta crocuta) and degree of dietary overlap with the lion (Panthera leo) (2006, background): “Variation in prey abundance in Ngorongoro Crater between the 1960s and 1990s led to increased predation of buffalo calves and adult wildebeest, which was used as evidence for a functional response by spotted hyaenas (Höner et al., 2002).”
Prey preferences and dietary overlap amongst Africa's large predators (2008, unknown): “…et al. (1992) Timbavati Game Reserve 1964 35 Hirst (1969) 1965 24 As above 1973–1975 749 Bearder (1977) Tanzania Ngorongoro Crater 1965–1969 240 Kruuk (1972) 1996–1999 82 Höner et al. (2002) Serengeti National Park 1965–1969 220 Kruuk (1972) African wild dog Kenya Aitong 1989 29 Fuller et al.…”
The giant hyena Pachycrocuta brevirostris: Modelling the bone-cracking behavior of an extinct carnivore (2011, background): “…behavior (i.e., hunting vs. scavenging, optimal prey size and hunting techniques) among localities depending on resource availability, type of habitat (which determines killing success and foraging efficiency) and interactions with other predators (Kruuk,1972; Schaller,1972; Höner et al., 2002).”
Prey selection and dietary response by wolves in a high-density multi-species ungulate community (2011, methodology): “Secondly, age-related selection patterns of all prey species were analysed according to each species’ classification into two age classes: <1-year-old individuals and adults (Höner et al. 2002).”
Social and ecological determinants of fission-fusion dynamics in the spotted hyaena (2008, background): “Because lions are three to five times larger than hyaenas, the resource holding power of a single lion exceeds that of a single hyaena (Kruuk 1972; Cooper 1991; Höner et al. 2002).”
