• Restoring forest herb communities through landscape-level deer herd reductions: Is recovery limited by legacy effects? (2010, background): “surveys (Potvin et al., 2003; Rooney et al., 2004; Taverna et al., 2005; Tanentzap et al., 2009).”
• Long-term effects of deer browsing: Composition, structure and productivity in a northeastern Minnesota old-growth forest (2012, background): “Similarly, in the boreal forest of Anacosti Island, Quebec, Canada, several decades of high deer populations ( 20 km(2)) shifted forest dominance from balsam fir to white spruce (Potvin et al., 2003).”
• The invasiveness of an introduced species does not predict its impact (2007, background): “Furthermore, because lag times between the introduction of a species and its maximum impact can span years to decades (e.g. Potvin et al. 2003; Rilov et al. 2004), data provided by studies done in the early stages of an invasion might also underestimate impact, although we attempted to deal with…”
• Habitat Selection of a Large Herbivore at High Density and Without Predation: Trade-off between Forage and Cover? (2009, background): “Deer have modified the forest understory of Anticosti Island (Potvin et al. 2003; Tremblay et al. 2005) and the abundance of preferred plant species has been strongly reduced (Boucher et al. 2004).”
• Long term effects of deer browsing and trampling on the vegetation of peatlands (2006, background): “Deer browsing also lead to the progressive conversion of A. balsamea stands into almost pure stands of P. glauca (Potvin et al., 2003).”
• Long-term decline in white-tailed deer browse supply: can lichens and litterfall act as alternative food sources that preclude density-dependent feedbacks (2005, unknown): “The apparent stability of the deer population during the past 25 years (Potvin et al. 2003) suggests that the system is now close to carrying capacity.”
• Density‐related effects of deer browsing on the regeneration dynamics of boreal forests (2007, unknown): “Moose are also present on Anticosti Island but at very low density (Rochette, Gingras & Potvin 2003).”
• High white-tailed deer densities benefit graminoids and contribute to biotic homogenization of forest ground-layer vegetation (2009, background): “Because deer are a source of new plants via seed dispersal (Myers et al. 2004), can depress or eliminate palatable species (Potvin et al. 2003; Stockton et al. 2005; Webster et al. 2005), and favor the population growth of browse-tolerant and unpalatable species (Augustine and McNaughton 1998),…”
