• Applications of species distribution modeling to paleobiology (2011, background): “, 2007), as well as anthropogenic exclusion of species from large, climatically-biased parts of their native range (Laliberte and Ripple, 2004).”
• Large predators limit herbivore densities in northern forest ecosystems (2012, unknown): “Large mammalian carnivore species have experienced substantial range contractions throughout the world during the last two centuries (Ceballos and Ehrlich 2002; Laliberte and Ripple 2004).”
• Rapid evaluation of threats to biodiversity: human footprint score and large vertebrate species responses in French Guiana (2010, background): “As shown in mountains in tropical Africa (Burgess et al. 2007) and in North America for carnivores and ungulates (Laliberte and Ripple 2004), both richness of animal communities and abundances of most of the target species show significant decline associated with high levels of statistical…”
• Food habits of the world's grey wolves (2016, background): “Human actions continue to cause extinctions of large- bodied species in most continents (Pimm et al. 2014), and those species that have survived are typically confined to reduced ranges (Laliberte & Ripple 2004, Ripple et al. 2014).”
• Large predators and trophic cascades in terrestrial ecosystems of the western United States (2009, background): “In the US, widespread poisoning, trapping, and hunting in the 1800s and early 1900s by Euro-Americans and a concerted effort at predator eradication by federal agencies greatly reduced gray wolf Canis lupus and cougar Puma concolor ranges (Laliberte and Ripple, 2004).”
• Historic and prehistoric human‐driven extinctions have reshaped global mammal diversity patterns (2015, background): “…have strongly influenced the distributions of many mammalian species during the last few millenia through range contractions (Short & Smith, 1994; Laliberte & Ripple, 2004), extinctions [notably on islands (Turvey & Fritz, 2011)] and to a lesser extent introductions of species now considered…”
