• Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, methodology): “We first modeled summer survival of neonates through 20 weeks of age with a time-dependent model that allowed survival to vary randomly by week and plotted the resulting weekly estimates of survival to identify periods of time with consistent survival (Barber-Meyer et al. 2008).”
• Predation by coyotes on white‐tailed deer neonates in South Carolina (2012, background): “Similarly, predation pressure by bears (Ursus americanus, U. arctos), also generalist omnivores, on elk (Cervus elaphus) calves in Yellowstone National Park is greatest on very young neonates and accounts for more predation events than all other predators combined (Barber-Meyer et al. 2008).”
• Effects of Predator Treatments, Individual Traits, and Environment on Moose Survival in Alaska (2011, background): “Indeed, research on elk (Cervus elaphus) has demonstrated different relationships between calf survival and birth mass in both low (Barber-Meyer et al. 2008 [no relationship], White et al. 2010 [positive relationship]) and high (Singer et al. 1997 [positive relationship], White et al. 2010 [no…”
• Trophic cascades in a multicausal world: Isle Royale and Yellowstone (2014, background): “Grizzly bears and black bears accounted for 58–60% of these mortalities, and wolves accounted for only 14–17% of them (Barber-Meyer et al. 2008).”
• Migration of northern Yellowstone elk: implications of spatial structuring (2010, background): “Grizzly (Ursus arctos) and black (Ursus americanus) bears accounted for 58–60% of deaths of neonates and wolves accounted for an additional 14–17% of deaths during 2003– 2005 (Barber-Meyer et al. 2008).”
• Trophic cascades in Yellowstone: The first 15 years after wolf reintroduction (2012, background): “In recent years, the bear population on the northern range has increased and in 2003–2005 bears killed more elk calves than wolves, coyotes, and cougars combined (Barber-Meyer et al., 2008).”
