Habitat heterogeneity and mammalian predator–prey interactions (2012, background): “…responses to temporal variation in predation risk (Lima & Dill 1990), i.e. prey may use a given high-quality habitat, or may venture farther from a safe but poor habitat, depending on the presence or absence of predators at the fine temporal scale (e.g. Creel & Winnie 2005, van Dijk et al. 2008).”
Determining the fitness consequences of antipredation behavior (2005, background): “…et al., 1994) or simply avoid the predator spatially (Biro et al., 2004; Durant, 2000; Rettie and Messier, 2001) or temporally (Biro et al., 2004; Creel and Winnie, 2005; Watanuki, 1986) or allocate more time to antipredation behaviors (Elgar et al., 1986; Whitfield, 1988; Wolff and Van Horne,…”

(2010, positive): “…established and the valleys being the " wolf-free " zones (Laundré et al. 2001 ) and at a finer scales, in buffer zones between wolf pack territories (Ripple et al. 2001), habitat types (Hernández and Laundré 2005, Creel and Winnie 2005), terrain characteristics (Table 1, Ripple and Beschta”
Does the risk of encountering lions influence African herbivore behaviour at waterholes? (2009, background): “They reinforce the idea that prey respond differently to different temporal variations in the risk of predation (Creel and Winnie 2005), by strongly suggesting that prey are responding to predation at least at two levels.”
Influence of immediate predation risk by lions on the vigilance of prey of different body size (2012, background): “2012), but recent work indicates that the physical presence of predators itself influences prey behavior (Creel and Winnie 2005; Valeix, Fritz, et al. 2009; Valeix, Loveridge, et al. 2009; Périquet et al. 2010), with prey adjusting antipredator vigilance differently to these parameters when a predat”
Landscapes of Coexistence for terrestrial carnivores: the ecological consequences of being downgraded from ultimate to penultimate predator by humans (2015, background): “…of an individual to predation decreases in large groups (Krause and Ruxton 2002), in some circumstances prey species may opt to follow a strategy that reduces their chance of being detected by the predator, rather than one that reduces vulnerability once detected (Creel and Winnie 2005).”
Relationships between direct predation and risk effects. (2008, background): “It is also possible that antipredator behavior is initially ineffective at reducing direct predation, but antipredator responses become more effective as the level of response increases, as could be the case for antipredator changes in patterns of grouping [32], particularly when prey disaggregate i”
What best explains vigilance in elk: characteristics of prey, predators, or the environment? (2008, methodology): “We measured distance to timber by visually estimating the distance and classifying observations into one of 5 categories: 0 (herd was in the timber), 1‐30 (away from timber), 31‐100, 101‐300, and 3011 m. This categorization has previously been useful in measuring effects of risk on patterns of aggre”
Prey selection and dietary response by wolves in a high-density multi-species ungulate community (2011, background): “Several studies have reported encounter rates to be higher for larger groups of prey (Hebblewhite and Pletscher 2002; Creel and JAJr 2005), probably because of their increased detectability.”
Time and space in general models of antipredator response: tests with wolves and elk (2008, background): “…(Werner et al. 1983; Lima 1990) Both of these broad approaches have proven very useful, but considering variation in risk across both space and time simultaneously can yield inferences that differ from those based only on spatial or temporal variation (Mitchell & Lima 2002; Creel & Winnie 2005).”
