Biogeographical and ecological factors associated with kill rates of an apex predator

2020-10-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4> A bstract </h4> Kill rates and functional responses are fundamental to the study of predator ecology and the understanding of predatory-prey dynamics. As the most widely distributed apex predator in the western hemisphere pumas ( Puma concolor ) have been widely studied yet a biogeographical synthesis of their kill rates is currently lacking. We reviewed the literature and compiled data on sex- and age-sp...
