Effects of body size on male mating tactics and paternity in black bears, Ursus americanus (2003, background): “Hunting pressure that changes the natural mortality patterns, therefore, may have long-term evolutionary consequences (Murphy et al. 1999; Harris et al. 2002).”
REVIEW: The management of wild large herbivores to meet economic, conservation and environmental objectives (2004, background): “Sport harvest may have evolutionary consequences such as changes in life-history parameters, as have been recorded in commercially exploited fish, including changes in size and age at maturity and possibly in reproductive effort (Jennings, Reynolds & Mills 1998; Law 2001; Harris, Wall & Allendorf 2”
