From regional to global patterns in vertebrate scavenger communities subsidized by big game hunting (2015, background): “Abundant generalist species such as the red fox can also effectively track this pulsed resource (Oro et al., 2013), becoming the dominant species at hunting remains (Fig.”
To feed or not to feed? Evidence of the intended and unintended effects of feeding wild ungulates (2014, background): “Where feeding reduces herbivore winter mortality, scavengers reliant on carcasses could also be affected (sensu Oro et al. 2013).”
The ecological effects of providing resource subsidies to predators (2015, background): “In Australia and the United States approximately 3–4 million tonnes of edible food waste is discarded in rubbish dumps annually (Oro et al., 2013).”
Evolutionary and ecological traps for brown bears Ursus arctos in human‐modified landscapes (2018, background): “…because it can alter movement patterns and the spatial distribution of individuals, feeding behaviour and preferences, denning ecology, and interspecific interactions (Oro et al. 2013, Krofel & Jerina 2016, Kirby et al. 2017, Krofel et al. 2017, Penteriani et al. 2017, Selva et al. 2017).”
How are garbage dumps impacting vertebrate demography, health, and conservation? (2017, background): “The presence of pathogens in rubbish dumps is very common (Collins and Kennedy, 1992; Flores-Tena et al., 2007; Matejczyk et al., 2011) and could be an important risk to the animals using them (Ortiz and Smith, 1994).”
Jackals as cleaners: Ecosystem services provided by a mesocarnivore in human-dominated landscapes (2016, background): “Every year, human societies discard substantial quantities of livestock carcasses and other animal waste (Mateo-Tomás et al., 2015; Oro et al., 2013).”
Happy Feet in a Hostile World? The Future of Penguins Depends on Proactive Management of Current and Expected Threats (2019, background): “It is perhaps unsurprising that this subsidy attracts large numbers of scavengers including more than half of all seabird species (Oro et al., 2013).”
Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “Resource supplementation in human-dominated landscape matrices already is responsible for population increases and range changes in many species (Lockwood et al., 2000; Ouin et al., 2004; Oro et al., 2013).”
