Risk from a top predator and forest structure influence scavenging by smaller carnivores

Alex J. Jensen,
Elizabeth A. Saldo,
Zoey G. Chapman
et al.

Abstract: Large carcasses often attract multiple carnivore species, so subordinate carnivores must weigh the reward of a profitable meal with the risk of being attacked by dominant carnivores. These risk–reward trade‐offs are likely influenced by a variety of factors, including scale‐dependent risk from dominant carnivores (e.g., short‐ vs. long‐term risk) and the amount of carcass remaining. In the southeastern United States, human hunters provision a large amount of white‐tailed deer carrion, which appears to be an im… Show more

“…However, many of these studies have used a simpler approach (e.g. Mayfield method, Mayfield, 1961 ), or semiparametric models such as the proportional hazard model (Jensen et al., 2023 ; Kitamura et al., 2008 ). Our parametric modeling approach enables the computation of ecologically important metrics that would otherwise be challenging to derive.…”
