Intraguild competition mediates human avoidance in an endangered African large carnivore. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 292(2048), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2024.2835

The anthropogenic refuge (i.e. human shield) effect is a well-documented consequence of anthropogenic disturbance, whereby prey or subordinate competitors use human-dominated areas to avoid dominant predators. While this effect has been widely demons... Read More about Intraguild competition mediates human avoidance in an endangered African large carnivore.
