Dietary Niche Overlap in a Nearshore Elasmobranch Mesopredator Community (2011, neutral): “Risk and direct predation effects from predators can maintain consumer populations below the carrying capacity set by the consumer’s prey (Creel et al. 2007, Heithaus et al. 2008), and if this is the case in Shark Bay, batoid populations may be released from prey limitation, allowing for dietary…”
Effects of hunting on wild boar Sus scrofa behaviour (2013, background): “Predator presence may hence lead to consistent and large-scale avoidance behaviours in herbivores (Creel et al. 2007).”
African ungulates and their drinking problems: hunting and predation risks constrain access to water (2012, positive): “…these nonlethal effects of predation or disturbance (sensu Lima 1998) might therefore alter the fitness of individuals, affect population dynamics (Creel et al. 2007; Creel & Christianson 2008), and ultimately community structure and ecosystem functioning (Brown et al. 1999; Ripple & Beschta…”
Challenges and science-based implications for modern management and conservation of European ungulate populations (2017, background): “Prey species have evolved behavioural and physiological adaptations to the risks associated with predators (Creel et al. 2007; Boonstra 2013; Kuijper et al. 2014; Wikenros et al. 2015).”
Interspecific competition and predation in American carnivore families (2008, background): “…defences to evade predators including morphological (e.g., merilaita & lind 2005), behavioural (lima & dill 1990) and physiological (e.g., Creel et al. 2007) adaptations and the mechanisms by which different carnivores avoid competitive interactions have been the focus of several studies…”
What best explains vigilance in elk: characteristics of prey, predators, or the environment? (2008, background): “We observed elk and wolves in the northern range of YNP.”
Trophic cascades in a multicausal world: Isle Royale and Yellowstone (2014, background): “Some analyses suggest that the decline of NR elk in the years just following wolf reintroduction is, at least partly, attributable to the nonlethal effects of predation risk, i.e., chronic fear and subsequent nutritional stress resulting in reduced pregnancies (Creel et al. 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013).”
The ecological importance of intact top-predator populations: a synthesis of 15 years of research in a seagrass ecosystem (2012, background): “These risk effects, be they behavioural or physiological, often result in lower access to food or compromised individual reproductive success that result in a reduction in the population’s reproductive potential (e.g. Biro et al. 2003; Creel et al. 2007).”
Increased perception of predation risk to adults and offspring alters avian reproductive strategy and performance (2014, background): “Our findings add to the increasing body of evidence demonstrating that prey can respond to predation risk phenotypically with plastic traits on short temporal scales (e.g., Schmitz et al. 1997; reviewed in Lima 1998a; Agrawal 2001; Creel and Christianson 2008; Cresswell 2008).”
Landscapes of Coexistence for terrestrial carnivores: the ecological consequences of being downgraded from ultimate to penultimate predator by humans (2015, background): “Among herbivores, information about the current whereabouts of a predator often causes different behavioural effects than does long term knowledge of risk based on experience (Creel and Winnie 2005, Liley and Creel 2007, Valeix et al. 2009a, b).”
Savanna herbivore dynamics in a livestock-dominated landscape. II: Ecological, conservation, and management implications of predator restoration (2007, background): “Preisser et al., 2005; Creel et al., 2007 ), and whether patterns of habitat association among savanna ungulates are determined not only by preference, but also by predation (as they are in N. America: Ripple et al., 2001; Fortin et al., 2005), require further scrutiny.”
