Implications of intraguild predation for sea turtle nest protection (2008, background): “Mesopredator release theory predicts a negative relationship between top predator abundance and resource exploitation (Soule et al., 1988; Palomares et al., 1995; Courchamp et al., 2000).”
As clear as mud: A critical review of evidence for the ecological roles of Australian dingoes (2013, background): “Small predators (e.g. feral cats Felis catus or black rats Rattus rattus) often have detrimental effects (e.g. Courchamp et al., 2000; Mifsud and Woolley, 2012).”
Indirect effects between shared prey: Predictions for (2004, background): “, 2003) or negatively (Courchamp et al., 2000;Whelan et al., 2003) affect the other prey depending on their relative frequencies.”
Biotic indirect effects: a neglected concept in invasion biology (2006, background): “Differential attack rates might also be observed if one prey species is more easily captured than the other (Courchamp et al ., 2000), or via prey switching.”
SPATIAL PATTERN OF RISK OF COMMON RAVEN PREDATION ON DESERT TORTOISES (2003, background): “Predators that occupy the same habitat as the prey can still be subsidized if the prey base is sufficiently diverse (Erlinge et al. 1983), or if alternative prey species that are more tolerant of heavy predation are available to sustain a large predator population (Courchamp et al. 2000).”
Impacts of Invasive Species on Food Webs: A Review of Empirical Data (2017, background): “Such approaches can be complemented by a dynamical model of the abundances and interactions among the studied species (e.g. Lotka–Volterra-type models) to identify key mechanisms (Courchamp et al., 2000).”
Nest Predation and Population Declines in Illinois Songbirds: a Case for Mesopredator Effects (2003, background): “Examples of the latter include instances of mesopredator release ( Soulé et al. 1988; Rogers & Caro 1998; Crooks & Soulé 1999) and apparent competition (or hyperpredation; sensu Courchamp et al. 1999, 2000).”
A review of the evidence for potential impacts of black rats (Rattus rattus) on wildlife and humans in Australia (2012, background): “This is probably due towhat have been termed hyperpredation processes (Smith and Quin 1996; Courchamp et al. 2000), where high densities of alien prey support higher numbers of alien predators, which then go on to prey on native species more intensely than would occur without the supporting prey…”
A review on the impacts of feral cats (Felis silvestriscatus) in the Canary Islands: implications for the conservation of its endangered fauna (2009, result): “So, taking into account the predictions made in the different models presented ( Courchamp et al. 1999, 2000 ) and the results obtained in the different studies (i.e., Rayner et al. 2007), we consider that control programmes of the introduced predators on islands must be performed simultaneously to ”
How many birds are killed by cats in Australia (2017, background): “…of cats (and the often co-occurring introduced red fox Vulpes vulpes) and/or to management of some main prey sources (such as rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus) (see also Appendix D) (Bowen and Read, 1998; Courchamp et al., 2000; Holden and Mutze, 2002; Marlow and Croft, 2016; Read and Bowen, 2001).”
Diet composition of common ravens across the urban-wildland interface of the West Mojave Desert (2004, background): “Threats from ravens may be particularly severe because predators are more likely to cause extinctions in prey when food subsidies allow their populations to remain high as prey populations decline (Andrén 1992, Sinclair et al. 1998, Courchamp et al. 2000).”
MORE HARM THAN GOOD: WHEN INVADER VULNERABILITY TO PREDATORS ENHANCES IMPACT ON NATIVE SPECIES (2005, background): “Courchamp et al. (2000) addressed a similar problem with a model of two consumers with a shared predator but distinct resources (i.e., only apparent competition).”
Dietary shifts in two vultures after the demise of supplementary feeding stations: consequences of the EU sanitary legislation (2010, result): “The scarcity of the main food resources exploited by the griffon vultures (predictable large carcasses) would lead to an increase in indirect competition with subordinate species for small and medium-sized carcasses, in a process similar to the hyperpredation observed in predator–prey systems (Courc”
Is invasion success explained by the enemy release hypothesis (2004, background): “Through a special form of apparent competition, termed ‘hyperpredation’ (Courchamp et al. 1999), a well-adapted prey might sustain an introduced predator population as the latter exerts pressure on the naı̈ve native species, potentially driving them to extinction.”
Vegetation dynamics of predator‐free land‐bridge islands (2006, background): “…running rampant on predator-free islands, but doubters dismiss such cases as 262 J. Terborgh et al. © 2006 The Authors Journal compilation © 2006 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology 94, 253–263 uncontrolled anecdotes (e.g. Klein 1968; Courchamp et al. 1999; Courchamp et al., 1999, 2000).”
Rats dying for mice: Modelling the competitor release effect (2007, background): “Field specialists seem unanimous in viewing rats as strong competitors of mice, negatively affecting the rate of change in mouse abundance and even excluding them when resources are scarce (Choquenot & Ruscoe 2000; Courchamp et al. 2000; Ruscoe 2001).”
Seven considerations about dingoes as biodiversity engineers: the socioecological niches of dogs in Australia (2012, background): “This situation is made worse by alternative food sources capable of sustaining predators through difficult times (Sinclair et al. 1998; Courchamp et al. 2000).”
