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

“…Thirdly, I evaluated if African wild dogs avoid large competing predators (leopards, lions and hyaenas) reactively or proactively in space and time at different spatial and temporal scales, using camera trap data to perform generalized linear mixed models, activity pattern overlap and time-to-event analyses (Chapter 4). Finally, I discussed water management strategies to help decrease the level of interspecific competition on African wild dogs and assist in their conservation (Chapter 5). …”
