- Diel predator activity drives a dynamic landscape of fear (2017, unknown): “The success of wolves hunting elk in northern YNP during the study period rarely exceeded 20% (Smith et al. 2000, Mech et al. 2001) and dropped below 10% when wolves hunted adult elk (MacNulty et al. 2012).”
- Effects of Wolf Removal on Livestock Depredation Recurrence and Wolf Recovery in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming (2015, background): “Breeders, as dominant leaders of a pack, are known to often lead hunts on wild prey (Mech and Boitani 2003, MacNulty et al. 2012) and could reasonably be expected to lead livestock depredations (Fritts et al. 1992).”
