Terrestrial mesopredators did not increase after top-predator removal in a large-scale experimental test of mesopredator release theory
Abstract Removal or loss of top-predators has been predicted to cause cascading negative effects for ecosystems, including mesopredator release. However, reliable evidence for these processes in terrestrial systems has been mixed and equivocal due, in large part, to the systemic and continued use of...
