Threshold levels of generalist predation determine consumer response to resource pulses
Taal Levi,Taal Levi,A. Marm Kilpatrick,Michael Barfield,Robert D. Holt,Marc Mangel,Marc Mangel,Christopher C. Wilmers +7 more
TL;DR: A graphical method based on a bifurcation diagram is used to derive the conditions leading to qualitatively distinct steady state and transient prey population dynamics as levels of predation (abundance and diversity) vary.
The roles of humans and apex predators in sustaining ecosystem structure and function: Contrast, complementarity and coexistence
Robert J. Lennox,Jacob W. Brownscombe,Chris T. Darimont,Andrij Z. Horodysky,Taal Levi,Graham D. Raby,Steven J. Cooke +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigate whether there is evidence that humans provide complementary services and whether ecosystem services of predators can be maintained by humans where wild predators are absent, and they investigate whether humans can be used as a substitute for wild predators.

Visual encounters on line transect surveys under-detect carnivore species: Implications for assessing distribution and conservation status.
José M. V. Fragoso,Fernando Gonçalves,Luiz Flamarion B. Oliveira,Han Overman,Taal Levi,Kirsten M. Silvius +5 more
TL;DR: A rigorously applied sign-based method was sufficient to describe the status of most carnivore species populations, including rare species such as jaguar and bush dog, in a well-preserved region of southern Guyana.
