Fig. 3

2020 Wild dog locations, lion utilization from a dBBMM, and the study area boundaries. Wild dog locations (points) are color-coded to show the dynamic Brownian motion variance at each point. Lion utilization values (background shading) show the long term use of each pixel derived from dBBMM. Study area is delineated as transparent grey with red borders (see criteria for data inclusion). The inset map at right show the location of the main map within Zambia, with National Parks shown in green and the Game Management Areas that border Kafue National Park shown in yellow. The inset map at left magnifies a central portion of the study area and shows (a) that wild dogs tend to avoid areas that are highly used by lions (relatively few points fall within heavily shaded areas) and (b) that wild dogs’ Brownian motion variance was low when they were in areas that are highly used by lions (wild dog points are darker in heavily shaded areas)
