A community-level evaluation of the impact of prey behavioural and ecological characteristics on predator diet composition.
- Abstract:

We compare the morphological and behavioural traits of mammal prey species in the Taï forest, Ivory Coast, with the diet preferences of three of their non-human predators: leopards, chimpanzees and African crowned eagles.
