Estimating abundance of striped hyenas (Hyaena hyaena) in the Negev Desert of Israel using camera traps and closed capture–recapture models (2016)
Journal Article
Tichon, J., Rotem, G., & Ward, P. (2017). Estimating abundance of striped hyenas (Hyaena hyaena) in the Negev Desert of Israel using camera traps and closed capture–recapture models. European journal of wildlife research, 63(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10344-016-1069-y

Estimating key state variables (e.g., abundance/density) of threatened/endangered species is a difficult yet crucial task. These variables are essential for wildlife conservationists/managers to assess the current states and trends of target populati...

Size constraints in a real food web: predator, parasite and prey body-size relationships (2002)
Journal Article
Leaper, R., & Huxham, M. (2002). Size constraints in a real food web: predator, parasite and prey body-size relationships. Oikos, 99(3), 443-456. https://doi.org/10.1034/j.1600-0706.2002.10888.x

In the absence of well-resolved food webs that include both information on predators and parasites, body-size has been proposed as the biological mechanism underlying the assumption of a trophic hierarchy in the cascade model and its variants. We sho... Read More about Size constraints in a real food web: predator, parasite and prey body-size relationships.

The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose. (2002)
Journal Article
Gilchrist, J., & Otali, E. (2002). The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose. Canadian Journal of Zoology, 80(10), 1795-1802. https://doi.org/10.1139/z02-113

The effects of food availability and distribution on population dynamics have been the subject of numerous experimental studies, but no study has quantified the effects of a concentrated supplementary food supply on groups of a social carnivore. We i... Read More about The effects of refuse-feeding on home-range use, group size, and intergroup encounters in the banded mongoose..
