Expected daily probability of a wild dog visiting a sambar deer carcass.
<p>Probabilities are medians from the posterior distribution with average edible biomass.</p
Temporal changes in the edible biomass of carcasses as a function of season and carnivory.
<p>The effects of feeding by wild dogs and foxes are illustrated by including 180(136 minutes) and foxes (154 minutes) spent feeding at a carcass and enabled the effects of foxes to be visible.</p
Parameter estimates for the discrete-time Markov models of wild dog presence at a sambar deer carcass during a 24-h period.
<p>Parameter estimates for the discrete-time Markov models of wild dog presence at a sambar deer carcass during a 24-h period.</p
Mean (± SE) estimated bi-monthly harvests of sambar deer in Victoria, south-eastern Australia, 2009−2013.
<p>Data are summarised from references 54−58.</p
Daily activity patterns of wild dogs and foxes at sambar deer carcasses.
<p>(a) Mean total daily activity by wild dogs and foxes, with the inner and outer circles indicating 5 and 10 minutes, respectively. (b) Feeding, investigating and moving through behaviours of wild dogs, with the inner and outer circles indicating 5% and 10% of time, respectively. (c) Feeding, investigating and moving through behaviours of foxes, with the inner and outer circles indicating 5% and 10% of time, respectively.</p
Expected daily probability of a fox visiting a carcass as a function of edible biomass.
<p>Expected probabilities are medians from the posterior distribution at a carcass 2/or fox.</p

Location of the study in the North East region of Victoria, south-eastern Australia.
<p>Red squares indicate the location of sambar deer carcasses along the six transects. The ‘×’ in the inset indicates the location of the Upper Yarra Ranges National Park, where carcasses were obtained.</p
Parameter estimates (and 95% credible intervals) from the model of days to first carcass visit by wild dogs.
