Changes in mesopredator-community structure in response to urbanization (2004, background): “Studies regarding mesopredator communities typically employ the use of scent stations (Oehler and Litvaitis 1996; Dijak and Thompson 2000; Crooks 2002; Gehring and Swihart 2003).”
Responses of ‘resistant’ vertebrates to habitat loss and fragmentation: the importance of niche breadth and range boundaries (2003, background): “Consequently, during 1997‐99 we estimated the distribution of mammalian predators among habitats and agricultural fields across the landscape using scent stations ( Gehring & Swihart, 2002 ).”
Big city life: carnivores in urban environments (2012, background): “Larger body size is a benefit in human-fragmented agricultural landscapes if it aids the animals’ ability to move in and out of the fragment matrix (e.g. coyotes), but body size should not be too large that viable populations cannot survive in small habitat fragments (Gehring & Swihart, 2003).”
