Carcasses increase the probability of predation of ground‐nesting birds: a caveat regarding the conservation value of vulture restaurants (2009, background): “Animal carcasses appear with a variable spatio-temporal predictability (Rose & Polis, 1998; Ostfeld & Keesing, 2000) and affect ecosystem diversity and functioning (Towne, 2000; DeVault, Rhodes & Shivik, 2003; Roth, 2003; Melis et al., 2004).”
Ecological and evolutionary implications of food subsidies from humans. (2013, background): “Thus, top-down control can increase at the expense of bottom-up regulations in ecosystems subsidized by PAFS, yet the potential consequences for the stability and functioning of these ecosystems remain poorly understood (Ostfeld & Keesing 2000).”
Migratory Animals Couple Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning Worldwide (2014, background): “The frequency ofmigrations and the immense number of individuals involved often mean that migrant inputs constitute “resource pulses,” defined as occasional, intense, brief episodes of increased resource availability that can profoundly alter demographic rates and abundances of interacting populatio”
MAST SEEDING IN PERENNIAL PLANTS: Why, How, Where? (2002, background): “Such community effects have been recently reviewed elsewhere (Ostfeld & Keesing 2000, Vander Wall 2001), so the focus of this review will be the evolution of masting from the plant’s perspective.”
Testing the resource-matching hypothesis in the mast seeding tree Nothofagus truncata (Fagaceae) (2006, background): “First, the variable supply of resources has downstream effects on the whole community (Ostfeld & Keesing 2000).”
What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “E-mail: lyang@lifesci. ucsb.edu 621 S P E C IA L F E A TU R E important and sometimes persistent effects on a wide range of communities (Ostfeld and Keesing 2000).”
Spatial Synchrony in Population Dynamics (2004, background): “Weather is not the only exogenous factor that can synchronize populations, however (Ostfeld & Keesing 2000).”
Influence of pulsed resources and marine subsidies on insular rodent populations (2003, background): “As in many other systems (Ostfeld and Keeling 2000), the pulse of resources associated with episodic events such as ENSO climatic changes alter the strength of interactions between species, here briefly in favor of P.”
How do vertebrates respond to mast seeding (2016, methodology): “In particular, species with slow life histories ( “ slow ” sensu Stearns 1992) are more likely to respond to masting through mobility or a diet-switching (i.e. changes in the proportion of each prey species in the diet; Ostfeld and Keesing 2000) because of their low intrinsic capacity to increase re”
Hierarchy of responses to resource pulses in arid and semi-arid ecosystems (2004, background): “responses of primary producers and consumers that unfold over years (Ostfeld and Keesing 2000).”
Cues versus proximate drivers: testing the mechanism behind masting behavior (2014, background): “For example, masting oaks in eastern North America influence ticks, tick-borne Lyme disease, gypsy moths and bird populations (Elkinton et al. 1996, Jones et al. 1998, Ostfeld and Keesing 2000, Schmidt and Ostfeld 2003).”
EFFECTS OF SMALL RODENTS AND LARGE MAMMALS ON NEOTROPICAL SEEDS (2004, background): “Long-term driving forces behind Neotropical small-rodent community fluctuations may be similar to temperate communities (Ostfeld and Keesing 2000, Schnurr et al. 2002), such that fruit production patterns may influence species-specific fluctuations of small-rodent populations (Adler 1998) creating…”
Population dynamics in wild boar Sus scrofa: ecology, elasticity of growth rate and implications for the management of pulsed resource consumers (2005, background): “Resource pulses can have a strong impact on vital rates and population dynamics of both primary and secondary consumers (Ostfeld & Keesing 2000).”
Linking growth strategies to long‐term population dynamics in a guild of desert annuals (2007, background): “…ecosystems, from short-term responses such as microbial release of nutrients and plant photosynthetic up-regulation to longer-term demographic responses such as growth, survival and recruitment (Beatley 1974; Cui & Caldwell 1997; Ostfeld & Keesing 2000; Novoplansky & Goldberg 2001; Huxman et al .”
Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation. (2009, background): “Another feature of New Zealand ecosystems, particularly the forests, is the pulsing of resources associated with masting events, which are significant in shaping the nature of predator interactions and effects on prey (Ostfeld & Keesing 2000).”
