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

“…My main results show that: a) prey conservation mainly in low waterhole density areas is crucial to decrease food resource competition between African wild dogs with large predators (Chapter 2); b) areas with too high waterhole densities increased the kleptoparasitism risk on African wild dogs and hence the risk of agonistic encounters with dominant predators through an increase on the number of dominant predators arriving at playback locations (Chapter 3); c) African wild dogs preferred temporal partitioning over spatial partitioning to avoid large predators, and African wild dogs were able to co-occur in areas (rich in prey) with high aggregation and density of dominant predators as long as there were enough permanent waterhole densities (at least ~0.01 waterholes per km²) and not too high hyaena densities (above ~14 hyaenas/100km²) (Chapter 4). …”
