Carcass detection and consumption by facultative scavengers in forest ecosystem highlights the value of their ecosystem services
Abstract Scavenging is a common feeding behavior that provides ecosystem services by removing potentially infectious waste from the landscape. The importance of facultative scavenging is often overlooked, but likely becomes especially important in ecosystems without obligate scavengers. Here, we inv...
