• Widespread mesopredator effects after wolf extirpation (2013, background): “For example, coyotes were found to exert significant predation pressure on the threatened desert tortoise (Xerobates agassizii), especially when they were subsidized by anthropogenic food sources (Esque et al., 2010).”
• Responses of animals to habitat alteration: an overview focussing on primates (2011, background): “…in Scottish freshwater pearl mussels (Hastie et al. 2010, this Theme Section) and altered predator–prey relationships between coyotes and desert turtles in areas where predators are subsidised (Esque et al. 2010, this Theme Section) complement this special issue of Endangered Species Research.”
