Citations in the corpus

• Nowhere to hide: pumas, black bears, and competition refuges (2015, background): “2012), kleptoparasitism by Andean condors (Vulture gryphus) decreases puma handling times and increases puma kill rates (Puma concolor) in Patagonia (Elbroch and Wittmer 2013), and kleptoparasitism by spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) and African lions (Panthera leo) decreases wild dog (Lycaon pictus”
• Costs of carnivory: tooth fracture in Pleistocene and Recent carnivorans (2008, background): “For example, 20 years of data on feeding success in African wild dogs documented that dogs consumed carcasses more fully when the density of their chief kleptoparasite, the spotted hyena, was high (Carbone et al., 2005).”
• Predation or scavenging? Prey body condition influences decision‐making in a facultative predator, the wolverine (2016, background): “To what degree this represents a positive intra- specific interaction (cooperative hunting; Boesch 1994) or competition through kleptoparasitism (Carbone et al. 2005) is unknown, but it seems that reindeer killed by other wolverines can be an important additional food resource in some areas.”
• Facultative response to a kleptoparasite by the cooperatively breeding pied babbler (2007, unknown): “…have prey kleptoparasitized by lions (Panthera leo) and hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) because there are sufficient group members to effectively defend the catch, whereas small groups are more likely to relinquish a catch to escape the threat of injury (Carbone et al. 1997, 2005; Courchamp et al. 2002).”
