Table 1. The mean scavenger species richness and scavenger sum feeding time, along with the effect size attributable to pumas and black bears.

For each variable and carcass type the mean, 95% confidence intervals, and effect sizes (Cohen’s d score) are reported. Negative effect sizes indicate limitation, with effect sizes of 0.20 indicating small effects, 0.50 indicating medium effects, and 0.80 indicating large effects.
