Supporting Information Table S1. Diet study sources for the large carnivores. Full references are listed below the table. Whenever possible, we referenced diet meta-analyses that synthesized diet studies throughout a carnivore’s range. Additional details are given in the methods section of the paper.

Information on the 494 prey species in our analysis. “Predators” lists the predators of each prey species (using the first 2 letters of each word of the predator’s common name), “RLS” and “Trend” are the IUCN Red List status (2008 or later) and population trend respectively, “Mass” is the mass in kg, and “% in PAs” is the percentage of the prey’s range within protected areas. Predators for which a prey species is preferred are marked with an asterisk.
