Stranger Danger: Differential response to strangers and neighbors by a social carnivore, the Asiatic wild dog (Cuon alpinus)

Pallavi Ghaskadbi et al.

Summary: This study tested the response of Asiatic wild dogs to strangers and neighbors in their territory, showing that they exhibit the "dear enemy" phenomenon, being more aggressive towards strangers.

The influence of an apex predator introduction on an already established subordinate predator

D. M. Parker et al.

Summary: The reintroduction of lions did not significantly impact the prey selection of cheetahs in enclosed areas, with no noticeable dietary overlap between the two predators. This study suggests that cheetahs as subordinate predators can coexist with larger carnivores without compromising access to resources, highlighting the importance of further research on foraging behavior across multiple sites and predator densities.

Not a cakewalk: Insights into movement of large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes in India

Bilal Habib et al.

Summary: The conservation of large carnivores around the world is a massive challenge due to various anthropogenic pressures, highlighting the importance of studying how they adapt to dynamic landscape conditions. Findings from the study show that tigers outside protected areas exhibit higher displacement than those inside, and there are significant differences in movement between day and night for certain species, providing valuable insights for conservation and management policies.

Dhole pack size variation: Assessing the effect of Prey availability and Apex predator

Aishwarya Bhandari et al.

Summary: In multipredator systems, social carnivores experience changes in group size due to interactions with other predators. This study found an inverse relationship between tiger density and dhole pack size, as well as a positive association with prey abundance in the distribution-wide assessment. Understanding these interactions is important for conservation and management strategies.

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) show differences in diet composition across landscape types in Kruger National Park, South Africa

Bruce Crossey et al.

Summary: The study aimed to improve understanding of the ecology of wild dogs in Kruger National Park by estimating the contribution of different prey types to their diet across landscape types. Results showed that wild dogs primarily preyed on small browsing and mixed-feeding species in thickets, but also targeted large grazers and browsers. In open landscape types without lions, wild dogs predominantly hunted large browsers and grazers.

Genetic analyses reveal demographic decline and population differentiation in an endangered social carnivore, Asiatic wild dog

Shrushti Modi et al.

Summary: Deforestation and agricultural intensification in the past 300 years have posed a threat to species conservation, leading to alarming changes in global land cover. The dhole population in tiger reserves has experienced a significant decline, but the protected areas have become refuges for the remaining dholes with stable genetic structures.

Plant-eating carnivores: Multispecies analysis on factors influencing the frequency of plant occurrence in obligate carnivores

Hiroto Yoshimura et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the frequency of plant occurrence in scat and stomach contents in 24 felid species and found a significant negative relationship with body mass. This suggests that plant-eating behavior may reduce energy loss caused by parasites, particularly in smaller animals with high metabolic rates.
