Carrying capacity of large African predators: predictions and tests
PaperBuilding on the prey-preference series, Hayward, O'Brien and Kerley developed regression models that predict the density a reserve can support for each large African predator from the available biomas…

Research overview: functional response models in felid predation
OverviewA survey of how Holling's functional-response framework is applied to cats to describe how their per-capita kill rate changes with prey density. Most felids are thought to show a saturating Type II re…
Research overview: lynx-coyote competition for snowshoe hares
OverviewAn overview of the competitive relationship between Canada lynx and coyotes, both of which prey on snowshoe hares across much of the boreal forest. During hare highs the two predators overlap heavily…
Research overview: scat analysis versus kill-site data for diet estimation
OverviewAn overview comparing the two principal ways of determining what cats eat, analysis of prey remains in scats and investigation of kill sites, and their complementary strengths and biases. Scat analysi…
