What is Dietary Partitioning in Sympatric Large Carnivores in A Tropical Forest of Western Ghats, India about?

The study investigates dietary partitioning among tiger, leopard, and dhole in Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, India, revealing that wild ungulates constitute a major part of their diet. Despite high dietary overlap, the predators exhibit some partitioning based on prey size, with tigers primarily consuming large prey, while leopards and dholes focus on medium-sized prey. The findings suggest that the high density of diverse prey species facilitates the coexistence of these large carnivores in the region.
