African large carnivores in space and time: insights from camera‐traps on the fine‐scale spatio‐temporal dynamics of lions, spotted hyaenas and leopards
Coexistence of sympatric large carnivores is common in many ecosystems. On the one hand, the potential for competitive interactions, from kleptoparasitism to intraguild predation, is high, so species...
