• Cougar kill rate and prey composition in a multiprey system. (2010, background): “These patterns can be interpreted as part of a broader optimal foraging strategy where felids attempt to minimize risks associated with predation by targeting easier prey (e.g., Ross et al. 1995, Logan and Sweanor 2001, Owen-Smith 2008, Knopff et al. 2010).”
• How key habitat features influence large terrestrial carnivore movements: waterholes and African lions in a semi-arid savanna of north-western Zimbabwe (2010, background): “One possible explanation resides in the fact that even though lions are opportunistic predators seasonal shifts in prey selection appear to occur in seasonal environments (Owen-Smith 2008).”
