Trophic facilitation by introduced top predators: grey wolf subsidies to scavengers in Yellowstone National Park (2003, background): “Populus tremuloides (Michaux) populations in some areas (Ripple et al. 2001).”
Trophic cascades in a multicausal world: Isle Royale and Yellowstone (2014, background): “Aspen is one of several NR vegetative communities reported to have been involved in a trophic cascade (Ripple et al. 2001, Ripple & Beschta 2007, Ripple et al. 2013).”
Multiple prey traits, multiple predators: keys to understanding complex community dynamics (2003, background): “Most studies on trait-mediated indirect effects to date involve behavioural changes in a focal species (e.g. Lima and Dill, 1990; Turner and Mittelbach, 1990; Huang and Sih, 1991; Werner, 1992; Schmitz et al., 1997; Ripple et al., 2001; Trussell et al., 2002).”
Diel predator activity drives a dynamic landscape of fear (2017, unknown): “…evidence of an apparent trophic cascade in northern YNP in the decade after wolf reintroduction has been attributed to behavioral mechanisms in part because elk numbers remained high during that period (Ripple et al. 2001, Ripple and Beschta 2004, 2006, Beyer et al. 2007, Ripple and Beschta 2012).”
Dietary overlap and prey selectivity among sympatric carnivores: could dingoes suppress foxes through competition for prey? (2011, background): “1 Top-order predators can have an important role in structuring ecosystems by the regulation of their prey or competitors, or both (Beschta 2003; Crooks and Soulé 1999; Estes et al. 2004; Ripple et al. 2001).”
Trophic cascades : the primacy of trait-mediated indirect interactions (2004, methodology): “A TMII conceptualization is increasingly being applied to cases of biological control (Janssen et al. 1998; Snyder & Wise 2000), conservation of marine ecosystems (Dill et al. 2003) and restoration of alpine aspen parkland ecosystems (Ripple et al. 2001).”
Savanna herbivore dynamics in a livestock-dominated landscape. II: Ecological, conservation, and management implications of predator restoration (2007, background): “…prey birth rates; e.g. Preisser et al., 2005; Creel et al., 2007), and whether patterns of habitat association among savanna ungulates are determined not only by preference, but also by predation (as they are in N. America: Ripple et al., 2001; Fortin et al., 2005), require further scrutiny.”
