The ecological impact of humans and dogs on wildlife in protected areas in eastern North America (2016, background): “Freeranging dogs were not perceived as a high risk by wildlife, contrasting strong negative ecological effects found in other studies of freeranging dogs (Vanak and Gompper, 2009; Vanak et al., 2009; Young et al., 2011).”
Is Wildlife Going to the Dogs? Impacts of Feral and Free-Roaming Dogs on Wildlife Populations (2011, unknown): “…competitors (Boitani et al 1995, Vanak and Gompper 2009): Where dogs roam freely intraguild species (a) are less common (e.g., Indian foxes Vulpes bengalensis; Vanak et al. 2009), (b) are killed by dogs (kit foxes, Vulpes macrotis; Rails and White 1995), and (c kill dogs (e.g., mountain lions.”
Predation of wildlife by free-ranging domestic dogs in Polish hunting grounds and potential competition with the grey wolf (2016, methodology): “carrion and excluding, and sometimes killing, predators in their guild (Butler and du Toit, 2002; Vanak et al., 2014; Vanak and Gompper, 2009).”
Warring brothers: The complex interactions between wolves (Canis lupus) and dogs (Canis familiaris) in a conservation context (2014, unknown): “In general there is a des-perate need for more studies of the ecology of dogs of all forms, including free-ranging, stray and feral, even if some studies have already been published (Vanak and Gompper, 2009; Young et al., 2011; Paschoal Ana Maria et al., 2012).”
Activity patterns of carnivores in the rain forests of Madagascar: implications for species coexistence (2012, unknown): “Human disturbance affects habitat use and behaviour of Asiatic leopard Panthera pardus in Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand.”
Big city life: carnivores in urban environments (2012, background): “Thirdly, Iossa et al. (2010) pointed out that there is a high prevalence of populations of feral and stray dogs in developing countries, which might limit the presence of carnivore species (e.g. Vanak & Gompper, 2009; Vanak, Thaker & Gompper, 2009).”
The global impacts of domestic dogs on threatened vertebrates (2017, background): “Domestic dogs are typically omnivorous, surviving on foods ranging from wild prey and carrion to human-derived foods—either provisioned or scavenged (Vanak and Gompper, 2009).”
Predation by small mammalian carnivores in rural agro-ecosystems: An undervalued ecosystem service? (2017, background): “For example, dogs can act as intraguild competitors where they can outcompete carnivores, especially under conditions of low prey biomass (Vanak and Gompper, 2009).”
Altered activity patterns and reduced abundance of native mammals in sites with feral dogs in the high Andes (2016, background): “In addition to temporal shifts in activity patterns, presence of dogs also can lead to changes in habitat use of native species (Silva-Rodríguez et al., 2010; Vanak and Gompper, 2009).”
Ecological and evolutionary implications of food subsidies from humans. (2013, background): “Several examples of species differences exploiting PAFS come from obligate avian scavengers or carnivores, e.g., corvids and seabirds (Marzluff & Neatherlin 2006; Vanak & Gompper 2009; Cortés-Avizanda et al. 2012).”
