Migrating shorebirds as integrative sentinels of global environmental change (2004, background): “Breeding success varies dramatically between years in a more or less cyclical manner (Roselaar 1979, Summers & Underhill 1987, Spaans et al . 1998, Bety et al . 2001, 2002, Blomqvist et al . 2002), and the yearly variation in the production of arctic-breeding shorebirds and geese can be detected a”
EFFECTS OF NEST HABITAT, FOOD, AND PARENTAL BEHAVIOR ON SHOREBIRD NEST SUCCESS (2007, background): “In tundra systems, predation of the nests of shorebirds and waterfowl is extreme about every fourth year when lemmings are scarce and predators of rodents turn to the eggs of birds (Summers 1986, Martin and Baird 1988, Bêty et al. 2002).”
Cyclic dynamics of sympatric lemming populations on Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada (2008, background): “Indirect effects among prey (i.e., geese and lemmings) because of shared predators have previously been documented at our study site (Bêty et al. 2002; Gauthier et al. 2004).”
Climate change and cyclic predator–prey population dynamics in the high Arctic (2009, background): “Predator–prey interactions is the most likely cause of the cyclic dynamics of the collared lemming in northeast Greenland (Gilg et al., 2003, 2006; Schmidt et al., 2008; for Arctic Canada, see also: Bêty et al., 2002; Gauthier et al., 2004).”
Coyote prey selection and community stability during a decline in food supply (2005, background): “Such secondary predator-driven population cycles have been reported for several species in northern ecosystems, such as greater snow geese (Bêty et al. 2002), ptarmigan, and ground squirrels (Boutin et al. 1995).”
Climatic effects on the breeding phenology and reproductive success of an arctic‐nesting goose species (2008, background): “…primary need fulfilled by females during incubation recesses appears to be drinking (Reed et al., 1995; Lecomte, 2007), and the vulnerability of goose eggs to predation increases considerably when females leave their nest unattended while drinking (Samelius & Alisauskas, 2001; Bêty et al., 2002).”
Integrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Ecological Science: a Question of Scale (2009, background): “The number of geese summering on Bylot Island is thought to be influenced by breeding success, which in turn may be strongly influenced by spring climatic conditions (Reed et al. 2004) and predation pressure (Bêty et al. 2002).”
