Multiscale Habitat Use by Wolverines in British Columbia, Canada (2007, background): “Females were negatively associated with broad landscapes of winter range where wolves concentrated (Allison 1998, Kunkel and Pletscher 2001) and positively associated with rugged terrain where security habitat is presumably more abundant.”
Spatial responses to predators vary with prey escape mode (2010, background): “White-tailed deer, which flee predators and rely on early detection, select open habitats with low snowfall and avoid areas with dense cover where their means of escape are inhibited (Kunkel & Pletscher 2001).”
Ecological and social influences on the hunting behaviour of wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii (2006, background): “Similarly, wolves, Canis lupis, preferentially kill white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus, in areas with increased stalking cover (Kunkel & Pletscher 2001).”
WOLVES INFLUENCE ELK MOVEMENTS: BEHAVIOR SHAPES A TROPHIC CASCADE IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (2005, background): “Yale University Press, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.”
Wolves and the Ecology of Fear: Can Predation Risk Structure Ecosystems? (2004, background): “This matches well with the findings of Kunkel and Pletscher (2001), who found that wolves were most successful when they could closely approach ungulates without detection and that the element of surprise appeared to be an important factor in their predation success.”
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).”
Non‐optimal animal movement in human‐altered landscapes (2007, unknown): “For example, without knowing the actual locations of host plants or prey items, animals preferentially move into cover types where the probability of finding their host plants and/or successfully capturing their prey is higher (Kunkel & Pletscher 2001; Rothermel & Semlitsch 2002; Cant et al .”
Assessing differential prey selection patterns between two sympatric large carnivores (2003, background): “…in instances where prey selection and/or success rate differed little between sympatric canids and felids, predatory behavior by canids was thought to be influenced by dense vegetation such that they approached and killed prey in a felid-like manner (Murray et al. 1995, Kunkel and Pletscher 2001).”
