Landscapes of Coexistence for terrestrial carnivores: the ecological consequences of being downgraded from ultimate to penultimate predator by humans (2015, background): “For instance, wolves experience a tradeoff between minimising predation risk by humans and increased hunting success during twilight hours and show less temporal partitioning with people when hunting wild prey than they do when hunting livestock (Theuerkauf 2009).”
Diel predator activity drives a dynamic landscape of fear (2017, unknown): “We assume elk were foraging when they selected for open areas because in our system elk are mainly grazers that feed in open grasslands and rest in wooded areas (Houston 1982, Creel et al. 2005, Mao et al. 2005, Christianson and Creel 2007, 2009).”
Spatiotemporal patterns of lion space use in a human-dominated landscape (2015, background): “…2001; Packer, Swanson, Ikanda, & Kushnir, 2011; Patterson, Kasiki, Selempo, & Kays, 2004; Van Orsdol, 1984) may affect the trade-off between the costs and benefits of killing livestock for large carnivores, thus limiting their spatiotemporal avoidance of people and livestock (see Theuerkauf, 2009).”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “The causal factors behind activity patterns are highly variable (Ballard et al. 1997; Kolenosky and Johnston 1967; Theuerkauf 2009).”
Insights into wolf presence in human‐dominated landscapes: the relative role of food availability, humans and landscape attributes (2012, background): “…occurrence, contrary to the findings of other habitat suitability or predictive models (e.g. Mladenoff et al., 1995; Corsi et al., 1999; but see Theuerkauf, 2009 about the relationship between nocturnal activity of wolves and human density), with wolves occurring even in areas of high human…”
