• Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “Individual factors such as gender (Laundré et al. 2001) and the presence of offspring (Wolff and Horn 2003) can also influence investment in anti-predatory responses like vigilance.”
• Determining the fitness consequences of antipredation behavior (2005, background): “The exact number or type of important related or compensatory behaviors that comprise the antipredation behaviors of an animal will probably be species specific, although some taxonomic generalizations can be made.”
• Foraging costs of vigilance in large mammalian herbivores (2004, background): “The contribution of predation risks to herbivore vigilance is difficult to assess, given that most studies do not account for the potential confounding effect of food biomass on vigilance (Laundre ´ et al. 2001, Childress and Lung 2003, Wolff and Van Horn 2003 ).”
• Surviving at sea: ecological and behavioural predictors of calf mortality in Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops sp. (2005, unknown): “Similarly, female elk (Cervus elaphus) in habitats with predators (wolves) and higher calf mortality spend more time vigilant and less time foraging than those in predator-free environments ( Wolff & Van Horn 2003 ).”
• Factors influencing female home range sizes in elk (Cervus elaphus) in North American landscapes (2005, background): “We predicted that home ranges would be small in areas with a high percent of forest cover, because forest cover is an important resource for reducing predation risk ( Wolff and Van Horn 2003; Fortin et al. in press) and thermal stress Cook et al. 1998; Porter et al. 2002).”
• The influence of conspecifics and predation risk on the vigilance of elk (Cervus elaphus) in Yellowstone National Park (2006, background): “In general, both bison and elk increase vigilance in the regions of the park with a high probability of encounter with wolves (Laundre´ et al. 2001; Childress and Lung 2003; Wolff and Van Horn 2003 ).”
• Scales of movement by elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to heterogeneity in forage resources and predation risk (2005, unknown): “limited by error in GPS locations (� 50 m). However, segments £ 50 m likely reflected bouts of inactivity (bedding and ruminating) because these observations coincided with periods of low activity counts recorded in the collars and the majority of small segments occurred during the times of day we w”

(2010, unknown): “Studies have demonstrated that the more fearful an animal is the more vigilant it should be (Quenette 1990, Hunter and Skinner 1998, Rushen 2000, Laundré et al. 2001, Childress and Lung 2003, Treves et al. 2003, Wolff and Van Horn 2003, Halofsky and Ripple 2008, just to list a few).”
