Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, background): “…of concealment cover (a commonly used index to perceived risk of predation in both forested and non-forested environments; Bowyer August 2014 519CLIMATE, BEHAVIOR, AND CONDITION et al. 1999, Dussault et al. 2005, Barbknecht et al. 2011) and proximity to open, maintained roads at both study sites.”
Effects of scale on interpreting life‐history characteristics of ungulates and carnivores (2006, background): “In a study linking habitat selection by moose to limiting factors, Dussault et al. (2005) predicted that moose should avoid the most important limiting factor (i.e. predation) at large spatial scales (landscape), whereas the influence of less-important factors (e.g. food availability and snow…”
Elephant-induced structural changes in the vegetation and habitat selection by large herbivores in an African savanna (2011, background): “…abundance of high quality food resources (e.g. Duncan, 1983), intraand interspecific competition (e.g. Fritz et al., 1996) and facilitation (e.g. van Der Wal et al., 2000), predation risk (e.g. Valeix et al., 2009), thermoregulation (e.g. Dussault et al., 2005) and parasite avoidance (Hart, 1990).”
A MULTI-SCALE TEST OF THE FORAGE MATURATION HYPOTHESIS IN A PARTIALLY MIGRATORY UNGULATE POPULATION (2008, background): “Similar to nonmigratory moose (Dussault et al. 2005), resident elk were forced to be more selective at finer spatial scales, but still showed selection for high herbaceousbiomass values.”
Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human-altered landscape (2011, background): “Ungulates accompanied by young are generally expected to select areas with low predation risk (Dussault et al. 2005, Ciuti et al. 2006, but see Theuerkauf & Rouys 2008).”
The spatial scale of plant-animal interactions: effects of resource availability and habitat structure (2011, background): “This approach states that resource rewards and predation risks are two major limiting factors whose effects on animal spatial distribution may trade off over a gradient of spatial scale (e.g., Mysterud et al. 1999, Dussault et al. 2005, Hebblewhite and Merrill 2009, Mayor et al. 2009).”
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a predictor of forage availability for ungulates in forest and field habitats (2013, background): “…top-down regulations; Sinclair 2003; Jędrzejewska and Jędrzejewski 2005), with forage availability impacting herbivore distribution, as well as herbivore dynamics, inter- and intra-specific interactions, and life history strategies (Fryxell 1991; Pettorelli et al. 2002, 2003; Dussault et al. 2005).”
Foraging strategies by omnivores: are black bears actively searching for ungulate neonates or are they simply opportunistic predators? (2011, background): “In a study by Festa-Bianchet et al. (2006), simulations demonstrated that Table 3.”
Scale dependency and functional response in moose habitat selection (2009, background): “It is proposed that factors with highest fitness impact should influence most on habitat selection at the larger scale (Senft et al. 1987, Dussault et al. 2005b).”
Habitat Selection at Multiple Scales (2009, background): “Dussault et al. (2005) elaborated: they proposed that animals should make tradeoffs among multiple factors when their effects occur at the same scales.”
Habitat Selection of a Large Herbivore at High Density and Without Predation: Trade-off between Forage and Cover? (2009, background): “Decisions made at coarse scales constrain those made at finer scales (Senft 1987), which may result in a trade-off between minimizing exposure to limiting factors and maximizing energy gain at a fine scale (Dussault et al. 2005; Festa-Bianchet 1988).”
