What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “…at the individual level Several studies have suggested that mobile specialist and opportunistic resident consumers represent two common strategies among animal consumers that use pulsed resources (Curran and Leighton 2000, Ostfeld and Keesing 2000, Lithner and Jonsson 2002, Meserve et al. 2003).”
Does a top‐predator provide an endangered rodent with refuge from an invasive mesopredator? (2009, background): “fuscus typically increase in response to rainfall driven resource pulses (Brown & Heske, 1990; Meserve et al., 2003; Letnic et al., 2005; Moseby et al., 2006).”
Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation. (2009, background): “…of populations at all trophic levels and can vary both temporally and spatially, it may serve either to attenuate or to exacerbate the nature, strength and direction of interactions between predators (Linnell & Strand 2000; Meserve et al. 2003; Holmgren et al. 2006; Elmhagen & Rushton 2007).”
NET EFFECTS OF LARGE MAMMALS ON ACACIA SEEDLING SURVIVAL IN AN AFRICAN SAVANNA (2004, background): “…unanticipated relationships between disparate groups of consumers, their resources, and abiotic factors (Ernest and Brown 2001, Trotter et al. 2002, Meserve et al. 2003), thus highlighting the importance of experimental manipulations coupled with long-term observations in understanding networks of…”
Comparative ecology of desert small mammals: a selective review of the past 30 years (2011, background): “In contrast, evidence for the role of competition at Parque Nacional Bosque Fray Jorge in northern Chile (Fray Jorge hereafter) has been much less apparent, even after 20 years of experimental manipulations (Gutiérrez et al. 2010; Meserve et al. 2003, 2009, 2011).”
Temporal variation in bird assemblages: How representative is a one-year snapshot? (2005, background): “Variability in precipitation has been found to influence fluctuations in abundance in other animal populations (Lake 1995; Post & Forchhammer 2002; Meserve et al. 2003), and local populations of mobile taxa such as birds could be influenced by climatic variability in adjacent or even distant…”
THE RESPONSES OF MAMMALS TO LA NIÑA (EL NIÑO SOUTHERN OSCILLATION)–ASSOCIATED RAINFALL, PREDATION, AND WILDFIRE IN CENTRAL AUSTRALIA (2005, background): “Heterogenous responses of small mammals to an El Niño Southern Oscillation event in north central semiarid Chile and the importance of ecological scale.”
The Ecological Role of the Mammalian Mesocarnivore (2009, background): “Thus, the important insight of these Chilean studies is that the potential for midsized carnivores to cause trophic cascades is mediated by stronger abiotic factors that vary resource abundance over time (Meserve et al. 2003).”
Trophic Interaction Cycles in Tundra Ecosystems and the Impact of Climate Change (2005, background): “In particular, there has been considerable controversy over whether terrestrial food webs are under top-down or bottom-up control (e.g., Meserve et al. 2003 ).”
Managing fire mosaics for small mammal conservation: a landscape perspective (2012, background): “These include processes such as competition, predation and climatic variation (Meserve et al. 2003).”
