Human induced changes in food webs have altered ecosystems worldwide. Food availability from anthropogenic activities such as agriculture, livestock rearing, food production dumps, marine and terrestrial discards have been known to subsidize a range of species. In terrestrial systems, predators play a key role in shaping trophic relationships and hence it is important to understand the impact of anthropogenic subsidies on trophic connections. Amongst the terrestrial predators, domestic carnivores (dogs and cats) due to their commensal affiliations have been the prime beneficiaries of human subsidies. At a global scale, domestic dogs are the most common carnivore with a population close to a billion. Irrespective of ownership, dogs engage in free-ranging behavior which facilitates interaction with wildlife at multiple scales. Human-dog interactions also range between affiliative to agonistic. India has the fourth largest population of domestic dogs in the world (c. 60 million) and this comes at a great cost for both wildlife and human well-being. My research aims to understand domestic dog interactions with people and wildlife and some of the repercussions of these interfaces in a resource poor environment in the Indian Trans-Himalaya.
