• Risk Migration
  • An apex predator suppresses a mid-level predator (the mesopredator), which in turn suppresses small prey.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    The abstract gives statistical evidence that coyotes control smaller predators and that coyote absence may raise predation via mesopredator release, supporting the first link directly and the second only as a hypothesis.

    “There is statistical evidence that coyotes control the populations of smaller predators such as foxes and domestic cats. The absence of coyotes may lead to higher levels of predation by a process of mesopredator release.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
