Interference competition between coyotes and raccoons: a test of the mesopredator release hypothesis (2007, background): “Mean (standard deviation [SD]) error for test transmitters was 108 (87) m for coyotes (Morey 2004) and 20 (13) m for raccoons ( Prange et al. 2004; telemetry error was determined separately for each species).”
Behavior Change in Urban Mammals: A Systematic Review (2020, background): “, 2019) and we found only a single study (Prange et al., 2004) assessing urban racoon behavior change.”
Carnivores, urban landscapes, and longitudinal studies: a case history of black bears (2008, background): “…(Mattson 1990, Baker and Timm 1998, Beckmann and Berger 2003a), (2) distributions of populations (Craighead et al. 1995, Beckmann and Berger 2003b, Prange et al. 2004), (3) movements of individuals and use of corridors or linkage areas (Torres et al. 1996, Prange et al. 2004), (4) disease ecology…”
Foraging ecology of black bears in urban environments: guidance for human‐bear conflict mitigation (2015, background): “Urban areas offer novel resources to wildlife that are concentrated and predictable in space and time and can alter the ecology of species as they adapt to exploit these resources (e.g., Prange et al. 2004, Rodewald and Shustack 2008, Withey and Marzluff 2009).”
Changes in mesopredator-community structure in response to urbanization (2004, background): “Raccoons at our large urban site apparently learned to avoid roads with the highest traffic volumes (Gehrt 2002; Prange et al. 2004).”
Changes in home range sizes and population densities of carnivore species along the natural to urban habitat gradient (2014, background): “Quinn T (1997) Coyote (Canis latrans) habitat selection in urban areas of western Washington via analysis of routine movements.”
CARNIVORE OCCURRENCE ALONG AN URBAN–RURAL GRADIENT: A LANDSCAPE-LEVEL ANALYSIS (2006, background): “Raccoons, in particular, may achieve their highest densities in urban areas (Prange et al. 2003), due in part to maintaining consistently smaller home-range sizes than rural conspecifics (Prange et al. 2004) and their omnivorous feeding habits.”
Home Range and Landscape Use of Coyotes in a Metropolitan Landscape: Conflict or Coexistence? (2009, background): “The high levels of human use within the natural areas in our study area typically resulted in readily available refuse near garbage cans and dumpsters, which were used heavily by raccoons (Bozek et al. 2007; Prange et al. 2004).”
Adaptability and vulnerability of high flying Neotropical aerial insectivorous bats to urbanization (2011, background): “Some species of wildlife are capable to adjust to urban conditions as they can exploit refuse as food and man-made structures as roost sites (e.g. Bowers & Breland, 1996; Fedriani et al., 2001; McKinney, 2002; Prange & Gehrt, 2004; Prange et al., 2004; Williams et al., 2006).”
Spatial and Temporal Structure of a Mesocarnivore Guild in Midwestern North America (2015, methodology): “We used home-range size estimates reported by Nielsen and Woolf (2001a) for bobcats (18.15 km2), Cooper (2008) for gray foxes (2.75 km2), Gosselink et al. (2003) for coyotes (21.90 km2) and red foxes (7.09 km2), and Prange et al. (2004) for striped skunks (2.75 km2).”

Resolving the urban nest predator paradox: The role of alternative foods for nest predators (2011, background): “Urban habitats are characterized by abundant anthropogenic food that can subsidize generalist nest predators (Prange et al., 2004; Marzluff and Neatherlin, 2006; Whithey and Marzluff, 2009).”
