Resource Selection and Movements by Female Mule Deer Odocoileus hemionus: Effects of Reproductive Stage (2009, background): “…example, a positive spatial correlation between risk of predation and forage quality or abundance may necessitate trade-offs between predator avoidance 288 WILDLIFE BIOLOGY 15:3 (2009) and forage acquisition (Bowyer et al. 1998, 1999, Rachlow&Bowyer 1998, Barten et al. 2001, Hamel & Côté 2007).”
When to Run and When to Hide: The Influence of Concealment, Visibility, and Proximity to Refugia on Perceptions of Risk (2012, background): “Predation is one of the leading causes of mortality for pygmy rabbits (Sanchez 2007; Estes-Zumpf & Rachlow 2009; Crawford et al. 2010; Price et al. 2010) that rely on both shrubs and burrows for protection from predators (Green & Flinders 1980; Katzner et al. 1997; Larrucea & Brussard 2008).”
African ungulates and their drinking problems: hunting and predation risks constrain access to water (2012, unknown): “Because young are highly vulnerable to predators, groups with young normally adjust their behaviour to compensate for increased vulnerability (increased vigilance: Burger & Gochfeld 1994; avoidance of risky areas and risky hours: Hamel & Côté 2007).”
