Potential intraguild commensalism between European Badger & Iberian Lynx recorded on camera. the Badger digs out a rabbit burrow and the Lynx awaits escaping rabbits.

Experimental comparison of defence behaviour against different avian top predators in an intraguild prey
The loss of top predators has been shown to lead to drastic changes in community structure. An important part of this is the shift in behaviour of other species. The understanding of such changes is ...

A late post- I defended my PhD ‘Factors shaping spatio-temporal distribution, mortality & abundance of avian predators' in late June!🦉 🦅 I studied how anthrop. pressures (agri. intensification, habitat fragm.,🧍🏽footprint) affect raptor ecology (provisioning rates, mortality & intraguild interactions)

Great work led by #Francisco_Martínez-Martínez & @enricfrago.bsky.social @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social showing that consumption competition can increase survival under #intraguild #predation and influence the persistence of species in communities with multiple natural enemies

Also, the return of goshawk to the region has resulted in other raptors declining or changing their habits. Hobby are now less visible, less noisy and have changed where they breed, apparently because of intraguild predation from this bigger, bird-killing raptor. Wow!

How are coyotes actually GOOD for birds??

In this vid I discuss the effects of “intraguild predation.” But this is really complicated and there are also cases where coyotes are problematic— sometimes because of the loss of top-down control of coyotes by wolves!. It’s a mess.

The asymmetric intraguild predation relationship cannot be denied. But it's mostly the lack of hedges and the ever-widening spread of industrialised farming practices that's harming the hedgehog.
