Sexually selected infanticide in grizzly bears: the effects of hunting on cub survival (2005, methodology): “Results presented by Miller et al. (2003) contrast the work of Wielgus and Bunnell (1995, 2000), Swenson et al. (1997, 2001a), and Swenson (2003).”
GRIZZLY BEAR DEMOGRAPHICS IN AND AROUND BANFF NATIONAL PARK AND KANANASKIS COUNTRY, ALBERTA (2005, background): “Wielgus and Bunnell (2000), who studied grizzly bears in a portion of our study area (Kananaskis) during the early 1980s, postulated that low reproduction was caused by a high turnover of adult males (from hunting), resulting in younger immigrant males displacing females from preferred feeding…”
The role of males in the dynamics of ungulate populations (2002, background): “In carnivores (Swenson et al. 1997; Wielgus & Bunnell 2000; Wielgus et al. 2001), primates (Robbins 1995) and rodents (Trulio 1996), male infanticide may be important for population dynamics.”
Effects of body size on male mating tactics and paternity in black bears, Ursus americanus (2003, background): “The selective hunting of large male bears, for example, generates an influx of young, potentially infanticidal immigrant males, which may reduce the reproductive success of adult females (Wielgus and Bunnell 2000).”
Edge effects and the impact of non‐protected areas in carnivore conservation: leopards in the Phinda–Mkhuze Complex, South Africa (2010, background): “Elevated turnover would likely increase contact between unfamiliar individuals and promote intraspecific strife, including elevated levels of infanticide (Swenson et al., 1997; Wielgus & Bunnell, 2000; Whitman et al., 2004).”
Impact of conservation interventions on the dynamics and persistence of a persecuted leopard (Panthera pardus) population (2009, background): “The turnover rates of male carnivores can have a significant impact on the reproductive output of populations (Wielgus and Bunnell, 2000; Whitman et al., 2004).”
Death from anthropogenic causes is partially compensatory in recovering wolf populations. (2010, background): “Similar responses are inferred from other long-lived carnivore populations where risk of harvest mortality is focused on specific demographic groups (e.g., Wielgus and Bunnell, 2000; Cooley et al., 2009).”
Mating Strategies in Relation to Sexually Selected Infanticide in a Non‐Social Carnivore: the Brown Bear (2006, background): “This hypothesis is controversial (Sommer 2000), including among bear biologists (Wielgus & Bunnel 2000; Miller et al. 2003).”
