• Do wild ungulates experience higher stress with humans than with large carnivores? (2018, background): “Moreover, these predation risk effects of both natural predators (Kunkel and Pletscher, 2000; Creel et al.”
• Responses of elk herd size to fine-scale spatial and temporal variation in the risk of predation by wolves (2005, unknown): “Many studies have shown that antipredator behaviour is sensitive to distance from cover, although few studies have tested whether distance to cover affects natural variation in predation risk (Elgar 1989; Lazarus & Symonds 1992; Hughes & Ward 1993; Kunkel & Pletscher 2000; Barta et al. 2004).”
• Movement parameters of ungulates and scale‐specific responses to the environment (2002, background): “Because wolves select certain habitats for hunting vs. other behaviours ( Kunkel & Pletscher 2000 ), we arbitrarily weighted kill sites (where predation was confirmed) to have twice the influence as nonkill relocations (where wolf presence was a potential risk to caribou).”
• Factors affecting intra- and inter-specific variations in the difference between alert distances and flight distances for birds in forested habitats (2002, background): “The relationship between buffer distance and available cover varied among species, and this may be related to the differential quality of substrates (protective or obstructive) that is typical of heterogeneous habitats (Lima et al. 1987; Lima 1990; Lazarus and Symonds 1992; Kunkel and Pletscher 2000”
• MOOSE CALVING STRATEGIES IN INTERIOR MONTANE ECOSYSTEMS (2007, background): “Logging generally enhances habitat carrying capacity for moose (Peek 1997), and does not appear to affect the vulnerability of moose to predation by wolves during winter (Kunkel and Pletscher 2000).”
• Scales of movement by elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to heterogeneity in forage resources and predation risk (2005, unknown): “As a result, encounter rates may increase if ungulates also use linear clearings or areas adjacent to them as foraging habitat (Kunkel and Pletscher 2000; James and StuartSmith 2000).”
• Spatial Partitioning of Predation Risk in a Multiple Predator–Multiple Prey System (2009, background): “…be the more vagile prey species and, similar to aquatic systems (Hampton 2004, Warfe and Barmuta 2004), where structural complexity may impede the escape ability of larger prey species, woody obstructions may be more likely to slow escape of larger terrestrial prey (Kunkel and Pletscher 2000).”
• Spatial decomposition of predation risk using resource selection functions: an example in a wolf /elk predator /prey system (2005, methodology): “In some situations, encounters may not be known (Kunkel and Pletscher 2000) and decomposition of predation risk components will not be possible.”
• Human Activity Differentially Redistributes Large Mammals in the Canadian Rockies National Parks (2011, methodology): “We included elevation as a covariate to control for this effect, however wolf and elk use of high quality habitat and narrow travel corridors near roads and trails could have reduced the displacement effects we observed (Kunkel and Pletscher 2000, Hebblewhite et al. 2005).”
• Linking wolves to willows via risk-sensitive foraging by ungulates in the northern Yellowstone ecosystem (2006, background): “Other researchers have also found that ungulates located at elevations above wolves were safer (Murie, 1944; Kunkel and Pletscher, 2000, 2001).”
