Is the loss of Australian digging mammals contributing to a deterioration in ecosystem function (2014, background): “Protection of existing digging mammal species, recognising their important role and apparent resilience to urbanisation (Bateman & Fleming 2012), is also warranted.”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “Humans can influence the type and severity of intersp cific competition amongst carnivores by artificially boosting food availability, and consequently mesopredator populations (Bateman and Fleming 2012; Crooks and Soulé 1999; Linnell and Strand 2000).”
The breeding performance of raptors in urban landscapes: a review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Although there is an increasing focus on the ecological responses of various taxa to urbanisation (e.g. Wang et al. 2001; Marchand and Litvaitis 2004; Wania et al. 2006; Hamer and McDonnell 2008; Ahrné et al. 2009; Vermonden et al. 2009; Bateman and Fleming 2011), the majority of studies appear to f”
Mesopredator spatial and temporal responses to large predators and human development in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California (2015, background): “…more than five times as much land as do suburban and urban development, it is crucial that we understand how low-density human pressures alter the composition and interactions of nearby predator communities in order to balance conservation and development needs (Bateman and Fleming, 2012).”
Shifting perceptions of risk and reward: Dynamic selection for human development by black bears in the western United States (2015, background): “Some carnivores, however, have been observed to forage within human development on their natural foods (Gehrt et al., 2009 and Dellinger et al., 2013) or on anthropogenic foods (Bateman and Fleming, 2012 and Merkle et al., 2013), exploiting novel resources associated with human infrastructure.”
Behavior Change in Urban Mammals: A Systematic Review (2020, background): “Definitions of “urban” in the reviewed studies, and elsewhere, are broad and may not consistently consider factors such as land use, structures, human population density, and impervious surfaces (McIntyre et al., 2008; Bateman and Fleming, 2012; Alldredge et al., 2019; Ellington and Gehrt, 2019).”
Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “Anthropogenic resource subsidies often support higher densities of generalist predators than occur in the species’ natural habitats (Bateman and Fleming, 2012; Newsome et al., 2015b), potentially leading to numerical impacts on native prey.”
Novel predation opportunities in anthropogenic landscapes (2018, background): “Bats probably form themost diverse group ofmammals in urban areas (Jung & Threlfall, 2016), where they are both predator and prey, but all major terrestrial mammalian carnivore families have representatives that show some degree of association with human settlement (Bateman & Fleming, 2012).”
