Le principal facteur facilitant la repartition des proies entre dholes, pantheres et tigres dans la Reserve de Bandipour est la taille relative de ces predateurs; celle-ci est, en retour, responsable de la taille des proies tuees: 42% des proies du tigre (n = 19) pesent plus de 100 kg; 69% de celles de la panthere et 74% de celles du dhole (n = 302) pesent moins de 50 kg. Le dhole, predateur coureur, tue plus de cerfs axis et de cerfs sambar mâles; il semble que le tigre et la panthere aient… Expand

Diet and prey profiles of three sympatric large carnivores in Bandipur Tiger Reserve, India
TLDR
The prediction that abundance of ungulate prey species, as well as their availability in different size classes, are both critical factors that facilitate sympatry among the three predators are supported. Expand
Diet and prey preferences of dholes (Cuon alpinus): dietary competition within Asia's apex predator guild
TLDR
This study documents for the first time the critical prey resources necessary for the conservation of dholes in Asia, and highlights the degree of competition potentially occurring across dhole distribution range. Expand
Panthera pardus (Carnivora: Felidae)
Abstract: Panthera pardus (leopard; Linnaeus, 1758) is the smallest of the 4 large felids in the genus Panthera. A solitary and adaptable species, P. pardus is the widest ranging of all wild felids,… Expand
Spatial ecology and diet of the dhole Cuon alpinus (Canidae, Carnivora) in north central Thailand
Two adult male dholes Cuon alpinus belonging to 2 different packs were radio collared and tracked between March 2000 and October 2002 in Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand. Dholes occupied… Expand
Predator–prey relationships in a middle Asian Montane steppe: Persian leopard versus urial wild sheep in Northeastern Iran
TLDR
The findings will aid wildlife managers in prey-depleted arid environments of western Asia to identify susceptible wild prey populations to predation by large carnivores; hence, significantly contribute in development and implementation of effective conservation measures to mitigate management conflicts. Expand
Prey preferences of the leopard (Panthera pardus)
TLDR
This model will allow us to predict the diet of leopards in areas where dietary information is lacking, also providing information to assist wildlife managers and conservation bodies on predator carrying capacity and predator– prey interactions. Expand
Inter-specific competition influences apex predator–prey populations
TLDR
The relationships among species in a predator–prey system are very complex and often could be explained only by more-than-two-species interactions, and the conservation of large predators should rely on the maintenance of a rich and abundant prey base, in which different-sized prey could lessen interactive-competition among the predators.

Responses of leopard Panthera pardus to the recovery of a tiger Panthera tigris population
Summary 1. Several conservation initiatives are aiming to improve the status of the rapidly dwindling populations of tiger Panthera tigris. However, possible cascading effects of intra-guild… Expand
Predator–prey relationships and responses of ungulates and their predators to the establishment of protected areas: A case study of tigers, leopards and their prey in Bardia National Park, Nepal
Interactions among sympatric large predators and their prey and how they respond to conservation measures are poorly known. This study examines predictions concerning the effects of establishing a… Expand
prey selection by tiger, leopard and dhole in tropical forests
TLDR
It is suggested that if there is choice, large carnivores selectively kill larger prey, and non-selective predation patterns reported from other tropical forests may be the result of scarcity of large prey. Expand

On the Ecological Separation between Tigers and Leopards
TLDR
Coexistence in Chitawan is facilitated by a large prey biomass, a larger proportion of the ungulate biomass in the small size classes, and by the dense vegetation structure, and some consequences of predator size and the role of interspecific dominance are discussed. Expand
Ecological Constraints on Predation by Large Felids
The evolutionary fitness of any predator, whether it is a spider catching insects or a lion hunting buffalo, depends largely on the quality and quantity of its diet. Predatory strategies are shaped… Expand

TLDR
A measure of fitness derived from the difference between the mean rates of predation and energy use indicates that selection for an optimum gut size will become increasingly strong as the prey aggregate. Expand
