Effects of climate‐driven primary production change on marine food webs: implications for fisheries and conservation (2010, background): “For instance, turtle biomass increased r 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 16, 1194–1212 concurrent with increases in sharks, but in reality large shark populations may exert strong control on turtle biomass (Heithaus et al., 2008).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, background): “…of predators may equal or exceed the impacts of direct predation (Schmitz, Beckerman and O’Brien 1997; Lima 1998; Peacor and Werner 2000, 2001; Dill et al. 2003; Werner and Peacor 2003; Schmitz et al. 2004; Preisser et al. 2005; Wirsing et al. 2008a; Heithaus et al. 2008a, 2008b; Creel 2011).”
Do bears know they are being hunted (2012, background): “Therefore these concerns also apply to the hunting of LC, especially considering that nonlethal effects may be particularly strong in large-bodied and long-lived species (Heithaus et al., 2008).”
Pelagic habitat characterization of loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta, in the North Pacific Ocean (1997–2006): Insights from satellite tag tracking and remotely sensed data (2008, background): “It remains possible that loggerhead habitat selection is related to predator avoidance, since this has been found to be important in certain green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) habitat studies (Heithaus et al., 2007, 2008-this issue).”
Lasting behavioural responses of brown bears to experimental encounters with humans (2013, background): “Nonlethal effects are costly and can be particularly strong in large-bodied, long-lived species (Heithaus et al. 2008) and in cautious animals (Sih et al.”
