Same place, different time: Leopards employ temporal partitioning as a co-existence mechanism in a human-dominated, unprotected agricultural landscape in Sri Lanka

2025-10-12

Abstract excerpt

As humans and wildlife increasingly overlap on a rapidly changing planet, it is important to understand co-existence mechanisms in unprotected landscapes, especially for large carnivores with which humans share an uneasy history. In Sri Lanka’s tea estate-dominated Central Highlands, a dense, widespread human population shares the landscape with the island’s apex predator, the Sri Lankan leopard. This study used r...
