The ecology, evolution and conservation of predators and scavengers have received wide scientific attention and public awareness. However, the close connection that exists between predation and scavenging has not been emphasized until very recently. The recognition that carnivorous animals may obtain meat by either hunting prey or scavenging their carcasses has profound implications from individual behavior to population, community and ecosystem levels. However, many relevant questions still remain unexplored. This book deals with some of these questions, with the final aim to definitively dismiss the traditional view that predation and scavenging are disconnected ecological processes. This compendium of science may help to inspire ecologists, evolutionary biologists, paleontologists, anthropologists, epidemiologists, forensic scientists, anatomists, and, of course, conservation biologists in their stimulating and promising endeavor of achieving a more comprehensive understanding of carnivory in a rapidly changing world. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aEcological science, the Biosphere$2bicssc 610 $acaching 610 $aCapreolus capreolus 610 $acarrion 610 $aEurasian lynx 610 $aLynx lynx 610 $aNorway 610 $apredation 610 $aroe deer 610 $ascavenging 610 $adecomposition 610 $anitrogen 610 $anutrient recycling 610 $atrophic cascade 610 $aapex predators 610 $abear 610 $ainterspecific interactions 610 $amoose 610 $awolf 610 $abirds of prey 610 $aforaging 610 $apredators 610 $ascavengers 610 $avision 610 $acarcass 610 $aconfrontational scavenging 610 $adisease risk 610 $afacultative scavenger 610 $alandscape of peril 610 $amarine ecosystems 610 $aparasite risk 610 $apredator risk 610 $aterrestrial ecosystems 610 $aanthropogenic food 610 $adiet 610 $aurban habitats 610 $aecological functions 610 $acarnivorous 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aEcological science, the Biosphere 700 $aMoleo?n$b Marcos$4edt$01278051 702 $aMoleo?n$b Marcos$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557644403321 996 $aEcology of Predation and Scavenging and the Interface$93012440 997 $aUNINA
