From: Carrion from large carnivores and food from humans subsidize mesocarnivores year round
Illustration of the contrasting seasonal pattern of potential human resource subsidies (the number of United States National Park visitors per year; green) and carrion availability to scavengers (e.g., the red fox Vulpes vulpes; blue; (A). Data on carrion available to scavengers was obtained from Wilmers and Getz (2004 Ecological Modeling) following the wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park. Example of a red fox visiting a hiker’s pack during summer (B) and a red fox scavenging from a wolf-killed moose in winter (C; Photo credits: B, Mauriel Rodriguez Curras and C, Brenna Cassidy).
