Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “Food loss rates from kleptoparasites like ravens are relative to wolf pack size and can consequently further affect kill rates (Hayes et al. 2000; Kaczensky et al. 2005).”
Effects of hunting group size, snow depth and age on the success of wolves hunting moose (2006, result): “These developments of the theory have been supported by empirical studies, including studies of wolfeungulate systems where large variation in per capita kill rates is found both within (Hayes et al. 2000; Vucetich et al. 2002) and between wolf, Canis lupus, populations (Messier 1994).”
KILL RATES AND PREDATION BY WOLVES ON UNGULATE POPULATIONS IN BIAŁOWIEŻA PRIMEVAL FOREST (POLAND) (2002, methodology): “Among these factors are snow cover (Huggard 1993), wolf group size (Thurber and Peterson 1993, Hayes et al. 2000), vulnerability of prey (Peterson and Allen 1974), and availability of alternative prey (Dale et al. 1994).”
Livestock depredation by wolves and the ranching economy in the Northwestern U.S. (2009, methodology): “The latter method was designed to minimize chances for overestimation of carcass consumption by wolves due to undetected scavengers or to decomposition (Miller et al., 1985; Hayes et al., 2000).”
Raven scavenging favours group foraging in wolves (2004, methodology): “These conclusions contrast with prior claims that per capita rate of prey acquisition declines with pack size (Thurber & Peterson 1993; Schmidt & Mech 1997; Hayes et al. 2000).”
Wolf functional response and regulation of moose in the Yukon (2000, background): “Methods for determining annual abundance of moose are described in Hayes et al. (2000).”
Changes of wolf (Canis lupus) diet in Italy in relation to the increase of wild ungulate abundance (2011, background): “Moreover, from north American and European studies it has been noted that the size of wolf prey is related to the pack size (THURBER & PETERSON 1993; SCHMIDT & MECH 1997; HAYES et al. 2000; JEDRZEJEWSKI et al. 2002); in Europe and particularly in the Mediterranean region, wolf packs are family group”
Heavily hunted wolves have higher stress and reproductive steroids than wolves with lower hunting pressure (2015, background): “Hunting can also decrease pack size, which results in altered predation patterns, increased time spent defending kill sites from scavengers and may lead to increased conflict with humans and livestock (Hayes et al. 2000; Wydeven et al. 2004; Zimmermann 2014).”
