Research overview: habitat selection in big cats
OverviewBig cats select habitat at multiple scales, balancing the need for prey, cover for stalking, water, and shelter against the risks posed by competitors and humans. This overview synthesizes research sh…
Research overview: niche partitioning among sympatric big cats
OverviewWhere several large cats share a landscape, they coexist by partitioning resources along axes of prey size, habitat, and activity. This overview synthesizes research across continents showing how tige…
Research overview: puma home-range size across the Americas
OverviewPuma home ranges vary widely with prey density, terrain, and sex, among the largest of any solitary cat in prey-poor environments. This overview synthesizes telemetry studies showing that male pumas o…
Research overview: tiger kill rates and energetic demands
OverviewHow often a tiger must kill depends on prey size, the cat's body mass, reproductive state, and competition at carcasses. This overview synthesizes GPS-cluster and observational studies estimating that…
Tigers and their prey: predicting carnivore densities from prey abundance
PaperCombining camera-trap density estimates with line-transect surveys of prey across multiple Indian reserves, this study demonstrated a strong relationship between the abundance of large ungulate prey a…
