Developing a population target for an overabundant ungulate for ecosystem restoration (2011, background): “…mechanism is consistent with many woodland caribou population declines across North America (Bergerud & Elliot 1986; Schaefer 2003; James et al. 2004; Courtois et al. 2007), as well as other species in other ecosystems (Norbury 2001; Courchamp,Woodroffe&Roemer 2003; DeCesare et al. 2010).”
A conservation paradox for the 21st century: The European wild rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, an invasive alien and an endangered native species (2008, background): “Skink predation was found to be inversely density-dependent, thus the rabbit population needs to be maintained at reduced levels or the entire exotic community needs to be extirpated (Norbury, 2001).”
Biotic indirect effects: a neglected concept in invasion biology (2006, background): “Lenz & Taylor (2001) AC P-P Oryctolagus cuniculus (rabbit) Alien vertebrate Oligosoma spp. (skink) No –ve Norbury (2001) Reduced skink density due to increase in predator (cat) density in response to rabbits.”
Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “…can be used to address interactions between threatening processes and ameliorate invasive predator impacts. gus cuniculus are a primary prey species for invasive predators (feral cats Felis catus tiles, but increase their rates of predation (larger arrow) on these groups following ; Norbury, 2001).”
Coyote prey selection and community stability during a decline in food supply (2005, background): “When prey-switching occurs in response to absolute primary prey abundance, switching behavior can be destabilizing because predation on alternative prey is not density dependent (Norbury 2001).”
Management of introduced mammals in New Zealand (2003, background): “Recent research suggests that the interaction between the changes in habitat induced by herbivory and predation (and perhaps parasites) may be the critical cause of decline in some endangered lizards in New Zealand (e.g., Norbury 2001).”
Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation. (2009, background): “We also illustrate the role of introduced prey species and the ways in which they further influence predator interactions (e.g. Courchamp et al. 1999; Norbury 2001; Pope et al. 2008).”
The impact of feral horses on grassland bird communities in Argentina (2004, background): “The interaction between exotic herbivores, opportunistic predators and native prey has been studied by Courchamp, Langlais & Sugihara (1999) and Norbury (2001) in Australia, where high densities of rabbits are associated with an increase in the abundance of cats, foxes and ferrets, which, in turn,…”
Predator control allows critically endangered lizards to recover on mainland New Zealand. (2012, background): “Indeed, such processes have been demonstrated for other native lizard species in New Zealand grassland systems (Norbury 2001).”
Endangered, apparently: the role of apparent competition in endangered species conservation (2009, background): “…prey fitness or predation rates (Roemer et al., 2001; Robinson et al., 2002; Wittmer et al., 2007), and predator functional and numeric responses (Norbury, 2001), as well as correlative analyses of resource, prey and predator density data over space or time (Taylor, 1979; Harrington et al.,…”
Diversity, invasive species and extinctions in insular ecosystems (2008, background): “Invasive species and habitat destruction, two primary threats to biodiversity, commonly trigger novel, complex interactions within species assemblages, often resulting in population declines or extinctions (Norbury 2001; Terborgh et al .”
A continental‐scale analysis of feral cat diet in Australia (2015, background): “…has important implications for conservation managers, since control programmes aimed at culling rabbits could potentially decrease the availability of a preferred food source for cats and then lead to greater predation of native mammals (Courchamp et al., 1999; Norbury, 2001; Murphy et al., 2004).”
