Impact of interspecific competition on African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in an ecosystem with artificial perennial water provision

Abstract:

Interspecific competition with large predators affects African wild dogs through food resource competition, exclusion from prey rich areas, kleptoparasitism, injury, mortality, den site selection, and human landscape exposure. Waterhole distance and density can work as surrogates on prey aggregation and abundance, which in turn these resources attract large dominant predators. Subordinate smaller predators, such as African wild dogs, have to balance the trade-off between resource acquisition ...
