Spatial ecology of cheetahs on north-central Namibian farmlands (2008, background): “It is well established that intra-guild hostility from larger carnivores can lead to high levels of juvenile mortality and kleptoparasitism among cheetahs (Caro, 1994; Laurenson, 1994), which may therefore attempt to avoid competitors to minimize such risks (Durant, 2000).”
To flee or not to flee: predator avoidance by cheetahs at kills (2007, background): “The frequency and nature of these agonistic interactions between cheetahs and larger carnivores can seriously impact the long-term viability of the SNP cheetah population (Kelly et al. 1998; Kelly and Durant 2000).”
Spatial refugia and the coexistence of a diurnal raptor with its intraguild owl predator (2003, background): “This ability to modify the avoidance tactics in response to perceived predation risk may further reinforce coexistence (Loose & Dawidowicz 1994; McIntosh & Townsend 1994; Durant 2000).”
Cheetah Acinonyx jubatus feeding ecology in the Kruger National Park and a comparison across African savanna habitats: is the cheetah only a successful hunter on open grassland plains? (2004, background): “Kill rate and consumption Group size, presence of cubs, prey size and availability, habitat structure and competition with other predators affect kill rates (Pettifer 1981a, Caro 1994, Durant 2000, this study).”
Prey preferences of the spotted hyaena (Crocuta crocuta) and degree of dietary overlap with the lion (Panthera leo) (2006, background): “…conducted on this valuable species, particularly given its impact on competitively inferior and threatened species like African wild dogs (Carbone, du Toit & Gordon, 1997; Mills & Gorman, 1997; Gorman et al., 1998; Woodroffe & Ginsberg, 1999) and cheetahs (Laurenson, 1995; Durant, 2000a,b).”
Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation. (2009, background): “…with apex predators in two ways, by: (1) changing habitat use in favour of habitats that offer refuge from apex predators (Palomares et al. 1996; Durant 2000; Heithaus & Dill 2002; Mitchell & Banks 2005; Salo et al. 2008; Sergio & Hiraldo 2008); and (2) altering foraging behaviour and activity…”
Long-term trends in carnivore abundance using distance sampling in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania (2011, background): “Such interactions result in particularly complex relationships between species within a community of carnivores, with important consequences to population dynamics and coexistence (e.g. Laurenson 1994; Creel & Creel 1996; Durant 1998, 2000a,b; Creel, Spong & Creel 2001; Kamler et al. 2003).”
What shapes Eurasian lynx distribution in human dominated landscapes: selecting prey or avoiding people? (2009, background): “In response to that, cheetahs actively avoid lions and hyenas, and are therefore restricted in areas with lower prey density, which become ‘‘competition refuges’’ (Durant 2000).”
Spatiotemporal patterns of lion space use in a human-dominated landscape (2015, background): “Avoidance on smaller spatiotemporal scales has been shown to optimize the behavioural costs of avoiding predation in other guilds (Frid & Dill, 2002), and is a strategy used by carnivores at risk of predation by larger carnivores (Broekhuis et al., 2013; Durant, 2000).”
Prey preferences of the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) (Felidae: Carnivora): morphological limitations or the need to capture rapidly consumable prey before kleptoparasites arrive? (2006, background): “Given the apparent selective forces acting on the cheetah from these dominant competitors (Laurenson, 1995; Durant, 1998, 2000a), there seems no impetus for cheetahs to kill prey larger than they can consume before kleptoparasites arrive.”
