Using camera trapping and hierarchical occupancy modelling to evaluate the spatial ecology of an African mammal community (2016, background): “Brown hyaenas Hyaena brunnea (n = 3) and cheetahs Acinonyx jubatus (n = 3) were photographed least often, while African elephants Loxodonta africana (n = 1665) and impalas Aepyceros melampus (n = 900) were photographed most often.”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “In other contexts, human landscape use may have negligible impact on mesopredator occupancy (Schuette et al. 2013) or negative effects through elevated populations of domestic competitors (Krauze-Gryz et al. 2012).”
Mesopredator spatial and temporal responses to large predators and human development in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California (2015, background): “Our study results add to the global body of evidence that documents both the ability of carnivores to coexist in close proximity with humans and the diverse repercussions that such intimate cohabitation has on the carnivore community (Goad et al., 2014; Recio et al. in press; Schuette et al., 2013; ”
