Predation of wildlife by free-ranging domestic dogs in Polish hunting grounds and potential competition with the grey wolf (2016, background): “vores, small and medium-sized mammals, and birds (Newsome et al., 2015).”
How are garbage dumps impacting vertebrate demography, health, and conservation? (2017, background): “In black vultures (Coragyps atratus) these sites determine their roost selection since close food resources reduce energetic cost of movement (Novaes and Cintra, 2013).”
Food habits of the world's grey wolves (2016, background): “There is growing concern, however, that humans are modifying the ecological role of predators, especially where humans provide supplementary foods including garbage, livestock, carcasses, and crops (Newsome et al. 2015).”
Golden jackal expansion in Europe: a case of mesopredator release triggered by continent-wide wolf persecution? (2017, positive): “Firstly, humanprovided food, which is often abundant in the vicinity of human settlements, is regularly used by mesopredators (Prugh et al., 2009; Roemer et al., 2009; Newsome et al., 2015).”
Jackals as cleaners: Ecosystem services provided by a mesocarnivore in human-dominated landscapes (2016, background): “However, consumption of human-generated food by predators is often perceived negatively and several authors have suggested that it should be prevented (Newsome et al., 2015; Oro et al., 2013).”
From regional to global patterns in vertebrate scavenger communities subsidized by big game hunting (2015, background): “…reported as a likely source of horizontal disease transmission for several scavengers (e.g. carnivores; Markandya et al., 2008; Ogada et al., 2012b; Newsome et al., 2015), the role of most scavengers in the transmission dynamics of diseases from carcasses remains widely unknown and even…”
