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

“…Specifically to decrease the interspecific competition intensity of African wild dogs with larger predators, it is important that there are areas with enough permanent waterholes (at least ~0.01 waterholes per km²) during the late dry season, but to also limit the number of artificial waterholes created in high waterhole density areas (above ~0.03 waterholes per km²) (Chapter 5). …”
