The Landscape of Fear: Ecological Implications of Being Afraid~!2009-09-09~!2009-11-16~!2010-02-02~! (2010, unknown): “(Ripple and Beschta 2007) .”
Large predators and trophic cascades in terrestrial ecosystems of the western United States (2009, methodology): “A similar pattern of decreased browsing and increased height of young aspen (Fig. 8b) was observed, primarily within some riparian areas of the northern range ( Ripple and Beschta, 2007b ).”
Trophic cascades in Yellowstone: The first 15 years after wolf reintroduction (2012, methodology): “Evidence for a release of riparian aspen appeared at some sites by 2004 (Ripple and Beschta, 2007b) and by 2010, even upland aspen were at early stages of a release (Fig.”
Life history strategies of aspen (Populus tremula L.) and browsing effects: a literature review (2011, methodology): “After reintroducing the grey wolf in Yellowstone National Park in 1995 – 1996, the elk population declined and willows and aspen returned to the area ( Ripple and Beschta, 2007 ).”
Ecological history and latent conservation potential: Large and giant tortoises as a model for taxon substitutions (2010, background): “Reintroduction biology would benefit by incorporating the recent emphasis across conservation biology that focuses on ecological effectiveness and species interactions (Soulé et al. 2003, 2005, Ripple and Beschta 2007, Wright et al. 2007, Papanastasis 2009, Kaiser-Bunbury et al. 2010).”
Rewilding – A New Paradigm for Nature Conservation in Scotland? (2011, background): “Similarly, the programme of wolf reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park had dramatic effects on the population and movement of elk, leading to the recovery of aspen, beaver and riparian habitats (Ripple & Beschta 2003, 2006, 2007; Beschta & Ripple 2010).”
Advances in restoration ecology: rising to the challenges of the coming decades (2015, background): “…such as wolves or bears, in structuring plant communities through their effects on herbivore populations and behavior via antagonistic and mutualistic relationships (as described eloquently in Leopold’s ‘‘Thinking Like a Mountain’’; Leopold 1949, Ripple and Beschta 2007, Grinath et al. 2015).”
Don't bite the hand that feeds: assessing ecological impacts of provisioning ecotourism on an apex marine predator (2012, background): “…apex predators; however, this is of particular concern in the light of recent studies demonstrating that changes in abundance and behaviour of apex predators may have cascading impacts on a variety of ecological processes (Ripple & Beschta 2007; Creel & Christianson 2008; Estes et al. 2011).”
A Low-Cost Manipulation of Food Resources Reduces Spatial Overlap Between Baboons (Papio ursinus) and Humans in Conflict (2011, background): “Conflict arising from this competition translates into ecosystem changes (Cooper and Ginnett 2000; Ripple and Beschta 2007; Woodroffe et al. 2005), local population extinctions (Nyhus and Tilson 2004), and financial loss (Mishra 1997; Roper et al.”
Riparian vegetation recovery in Yellowstone: The first two decades after wolf reintroduction (2016, methodology): “…increases of the five-tallest young aspen in upland stands were considerably less than those in riparian areas even though annual height growth of unbrowsed leaders, an index of site productivity,wasnot significantly different between upland and riparian stands (Ripple and Beschta, 2007, 2012).”
