- Large predators limit herbivore densities in northern forest ecosystems (2012, unknown): “Cervid irruptions following wolf extirpation have been documented in diverse ecosystems of western North America (Leopold et al. 1947; Ripple and Beschta 2005).”
- Lynx (Lynx lynx) and wolf (Canis lupus) in the Baltic region: diets, helminth parasites and genetic variation (2007, background): “Environmental factors such as season, habitat type and weather have also proved to be important as individual traits of predators ( Holekamp et al.1997 , Hebblewhite et al. 2002, Mech & Peterson 2003 ).”
- Prey selection and dietary response by wolves in a high-density multi-species ungulate community (2011, background): “Wolves are generally considered generalist-opportunistic predators (Becker et al. 2008), relying on whatever vulnerable prey are available in their territory (Mech and Peterson 2003).”
- Reality as the leading cause of stress: rethinking the impact of chronic stress in nature (2013, background): “Wolves are the principal predators of the ungulates throughout the Northern Hemisphere and, with bears, are directly responsible for limiting their numbers (Mech & Peterson 2003; Ripple & Beschta 2012).”
- Effects of hunting group size, snow depth and age on the success of wolves hunting moose (2006, background): “Many prey-related factors may affect hunting success, such as prey species, age and sex structure of the prey population, and prey group size (Chrisler 1956; Van Orsdol 1984; Fanshawe & FitzGibbon 1993; Fuller & Kat 1993; Stander & Albon 1993; Funston et al. 2001; Mech & Peterson 2003).”
- Selection of Northern Yellowstone Elk by Gray Wolves and Hunters (2006, background): “Biologists recognize the ability of wolves to influence sex and age composition, recruitment and death rates, and rates of population change in ungulate prey species (Pimlott et al. 1969, Mech 1970, Peterson 1977, Seip 1995, Mech and Peterson 2003).”
