Do Mixed-Species Groups Travel as One? An Investigation on Large African Herbivores Monitored Using Animal-Borne Video Collars Open
Although prey foraging in mixed-species groups benefit from a reduced risk of predation, whether heterospecific groupmates move together in the landscape, and more generally to what extent mixed-species groups remain cohesive over time and…

Population limitation of a non‐ruminant in a nutrient‐poor ecosystem—predation rather than food Open
Current theory predicts that plains zebra ( Equus quagga ) populations should be resource‐limited. Long‐term, detailed work in the Hwange ecosystem (Zimbabwe) on zebras and all their major predators provides empirical data to test this on …

Insights on the effect of mega-carcass abundance on the population dynamics of a facultative scavenger predator and its prey Open
The interplay between facultative scavenging and predation has gained interest in the last decade. The prevalence of scavenging induced by the availability of large carcasses may modify predator density or behaviour, potentially affecting …

Food resource competition between African wild dogs and larger carnivores in an ecosystem with artificial water provision Open
Predators of similar size often compete over prey. In semi‐arid ecosystems where water is a limiting resource, prey availability can be affected by water distribution, which further increases resource competition and exacerbate conflict am…

Time‐varying habitat selection analysis: A model and applications for studying diel, seasonal, and post‐release changes Open
Resource selection functions are commonly used to evaluate animals' habitat selection, for example, the disproportionate use of habitats relative to their availability. While environmental conditions or animal motivations may vary over tim…

Counter‐strategies to infanticide: The importance of cubs in determining lion habitat selection and social interactions Open
Animal social and spatial behaviours are inextricably linked. Animal movements are driven by environmental factors and social interactions. Habitat structure and changing patterns of animal space use can also shape social interactions. Ani…

Long‐term high densities of African elephants clear the understorey and promote a new stable savanna woodland community Open
Questions Species defined as ecosystem engineers (e.g. elephant) are able to strongly shape their habitat. In African savannas, elephants have often been shown to reduce woody‐plant abundance and diversity. However, recent studies highligh…

Climate Effects on Prey Vulnerability Modify Expectations of Predator Responses to Short- and Long-Term Climate Fluctuations Open
Climate changes affect the distribution and abundance of organisms, often via changes in species interactions. Most animals experience predation, and a number of models have investigated how climate fluctuations can influence predator–prey…

Disentangling the roles of bottom‐up and top‐down drivers in the trade‐off between food acquisition and safety in prey with multiple predators Open
Prey face a trade‐off between acquiring food and avoiding predation, but food availability, and therefore its effect, is rarely measured in field studies investigating non‐lethal effects of predation. The main aim of this study was to inve…

Effect of ecological factors on fine‐scale patterns of social structure in African lions Open
Environmental variations can influence the extent to which individuals interact with other individuals by changing the value of grouping. It is well known that many species can form and disband groups, often in response to the distribution…

Applying the resource dispersion hypothesis to a fission–fusion society: A case study of the African lion (<i>Panthera leo</i>) Open
The relationship between the spatiotemporal distribution of resources and patterns of sociality is widely discussed. While the resource dispersion hypothesis (RDH) was formulated to explain why animals sometimes live in groups from which t…
