Among the largest cats in the world, this iconic species is primarily found in India, with smaller populations in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar. It is the most numerous tiger subspecies, yet it remains under significant threat due to habitat loss and poaching. Adult Bengals are renowned...
Demographic censuses of several years' duration in two populations of each species yielded estimates of vital rates that were consistent with the life-history profile expected for a persistence niche. Rates of background survival were high and rates of fire-related mortality were low in both ...
In reality, most organisms occupy a slightly smaller niche than their fundamental niche because of competition. Intraspecific competition occurs between individuals of the same species; interspecific competition occurs between members ...
