HUMAN ACTIVITY MEDIATES A TROPHIC CASCADE CAUSED BY WOLVES (2005, methodology): “Second, cause-specific mortality of elk (McKenzie 2001) and time series modeling (Hebblewhite et al. 2002) support the major role of wolves in the trophic cascade.”
Effects of elk group size on predation by wolves (2002, methodology): “The two winters of our study included a mild (1997–1998) and an average (1998–1999) winter, with mean snowpack depths of 30 and 46 cm, respectively (the 15-year mean is 45 cm; Hebblewhite et al. 2002).”
Lynx (Lynx lynx) and wolf (Canis lupus) in the Baltic region: diets, helminth parasites and genetic variation (2007, background): “Environmental factors such as season, habitat type and weather have also proved to be important as individual traits of predators ( Holekamp et al.1997 , Hebblewhite et al. 2002, Mech & Peterson 2003 ).”
Effects of hunting group size, snow depth and age on the success of wolves hunting moose (2006, background): “…such as season, type of habitat and weather characteristics have also proved to be important for hunting success, and therefore for kill rates of carnivore species (Kruuk 1972; Stander & Albon 1993; Funston et al. 2001; Mech et al. 1971, 1991, 2001; Hebblewhite et al. 2002; Mech & Peterson 2004).”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “…(Andruskiw et al. 2008; Brown 1988; Koivisto and Pusenius 2006) or at restricted times (Brown and Kotler 2007), forage in larger groups diluting risk (Fortin et al. 2009; Hebblewhite et al. 2002; Isvaran 2007) or in smaller groups reducing detection (Fortin et al. 2009; Hebblewhite et al. 2002).”
Predation by wolves interacts with the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) on a western North American elk population (2005, methodology): “Winter climate influences population dynamics of ungulates through effects on locomotion (Telfer & Kelsall 1984), thermoregulation (Cook et al . 1998), reproduction (Portier et al . 1998), predator‐prey processes (Post et al . 1999; Hebblewhite, Pletscher & Paquet 2002 ) and access to food resource”
Time and space in general models of antipredator response: tests with wolves and elk (2008, background): “…studies, predation risk is often treated as a parameter that varies among places, by measuring some index of risk across space and asking how spatial variation in risk affects the distribution, abundance or survival of prey animals (Hebblewhite et al. 2002; Kauffman et al. 2007; Frid et al. 2008).”
Human Activity Differentially Redistributes Large Mammals in the Canadian Rockies National Parks (2011, background): “Additionally, wolf exclusion caused by humans led to changes in elk population dynamics (Hebblewhite et al. 2002) and cascading trophic effects on aspen (Populus tremuloides), willow (Salix spp.), beaver (Castor Canadensis), and songbirds (Hebblewhite et al. 2005).”
Scales of movement by elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to heterogeneity in forage resources and predation risk (2005, unknown): “First, do non-migratory elk exhibit distinct scales of movement? Second, are the scales of different movement behaviours related to landscape patterns within individual elk home ranges? Third, is the occurrence of path segments belonging to different movement behaviours related to local environmenta”
