We published a manuscript in Ecology. The manuscript focuses on determining the traits and other values that determine who wins during competition between mesocarnivores. Encounter competition theory has never been tested with carnviores, and so I created foraging arenas and recorded fights between mesocarnivores over food. Surprisingly, bobcats and spotted skunks won more encounters than expected, while canines lost more often than expected. I think bobcats and skunks were able to win because of their unique weapons.
