• Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, background): “…risk of predation and proximity to human disturbance do not directly influence energy balance, those variables can have important effects on behavior of large herbivores, which should be accounted for in analyses of space use and movement (e.g., Rowland et al. 2000, Middleton et al. 2013).”
• Do species life history traits explain population responses to roads? A meta-analysis (2012, background): “…and caribou (Rangifer tarandus) which have been reported to avoid roads from long distances away, even when these roads are small, lightly used logging roads (James and Stuart-Smith, 2000; Rowland et al., 2000; Dyer et al., 2001; Gagnon et al., 2007; Schindler et al., 2006; Stewart et al., 2010).”
• SCALE-DEPENDENT SUMMER RESOURCE SELECTION BY REINTRODUCED ELK IN WISCONSIN, USA (2005, background): “Finally, we expected elk to select locations that were farther away from roads and hence less vulnerable to human disturbances (Irwin and Peek 1976, Lyons 1983, Rowland et al. 2000).”
• Human Activity Differentially Redistributes Large Mammals in the Canadian Rockies National Parks (2011, background): “…low levels of disturbance may lessen the likelihood of returning to previously used areas (Kuck et al. 1985) and lead to permanent shifts in habitat use (Rowland et al. 2000), whereas other studies found animals returned when activity lowered or desisted (Casirer et al. 1992, Gagnon et al 2007).”
• Behavioral Responses of North American Elk to Recreational Activity (2009, background): “Wild ungulates such as North American elk (Cervus elaphus) have been shown to consistently avoid roads open to motorized vehicles across a variety of environments (e.g., Perry and Overly 1977, Lyon 1979, Edge and Marcum 1985, Cole et al. 1997, Rowland et al. 2000).”
• Effects of hunter access and habitat security on elk habitat selection in landscapes with a public and private land matrix (2013, result): “Road density was the strongest predictor of elk distributions and, similar to other studies, elk in both study areas selected for areas of lesser open road density throughout the fall study period (Rowland et al. 2000,McCorquodale 2003).”
• Modeling animal movements using stochastic differential equations (2004, methodology): “This approach might be used to model other similar phenomena such as avoidance of motorized vehicles by elk (Rowland et al., 2000).”
• Hunting increases vigilance levels in roe deer and modifies feeding site selection (2008, unknown): “Instead, deer may avoid roads because of the risk of collision, as has been shown in elk (Rowland et al. 2000).”
• Study Designs and Tests for Comparing Resource Use and Availability II (2006, background): “…commonly defined as the location, nest, den, roost, or bed site of a uniquely identified animal during a fixed time period for study design 2 (e.g., Rowland et al. 2000, Dickson and Beier 2002), design 3 (e.g., Hartke and Hepp 2004), and design 4 (e.g., Weller and Zabel 2001, Drennan and Beier…”
• WOLVES INFLUENCE ELK MOVEMENTS: BEHAVIOR SHAPES A TROPHIC CASCADE IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (2005, background): “Other studies have also reported the tendency of elk to remain away from roads used by motorized vehicles, which shapes their distribution in many landscapes (see Rowland et al. 2000).”
• Path tortuosity and the permeability of roads and trails to wolf movement (2004, background): “Although roads are known to degrade habitat quality for many organisms (Mace et al. 1996, Mladenoff et al. 1999, Rowland et al. 2000, Dyer et al. 2001), few studies have quantified the effects of roads and other human developments on fine-scale movement behavior (e.g., Bélisle and St. Clair 2001,…”
• DAILY AND SEASONAL MOVEMENTS AND HABITAT USE BY FEMALE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELK AND MULE DEER (2003, methodology): “…seasonal and daily cycles in female elk and mule deer complements previous studies of habitat use at Starkey (Coe et al. 2001; Johnson et al. 2000; Rowland et al. 2000) and elsewhere (Collins and Urness 1983; Collins et al. 1978; Green and Bear 1990; Irwin and Peek 1983; McCorquodale et al. 1986;…”
