Fig. 5

Effect of prey size, and 1 SD marginal effects of competitor density and topographic roughness on the probability of wolf or bear displacement of cougars from their kills (n = 350). Models use predation data collected from 2016–2022 in Yellowstone National Park, USA. Cougar PhyloPic by Jody Taylor is dedicated as universal public domain under CC0 1.0.
