Predation by small mammalian carnivores in rural agro-ecosystems: An undervalued ecosystem service? (2017, background): “Furthermore, the relatively large number of small-sized farms and small settlement areas in sub-Saharan Africa (Lowder et al., 2016) are interspersed within a mosaic of semi-natural habitat that can increase human-wildlife conflict (Crooks, 2002; Lamarque et al., 2009).”
Global patterns and predictors of bird species responses to forest fragmentation: Implications for ecosystem function and conservation (2014, methodology): “In addition, we use body mass to assess within-guild patterns of resilience as the impacts of anthropogenic change may vary across different size classes of organisms, even within functional groups (Crooks, 2002).”
Changes in mesopredator-community structure in response to urbanization (2004, background): “All are also tolerant of fragmentation and human presence, and therefore are commonly present in urban habitats (Crooks 2002).”
Estimating Site Occupancy and Detection Probability Parameters for Meso- And Large Mammals in a Coastal Ecosystem (2006, background): “Indeed, much remains to be learned about how mammals function in different environments, especially in human-dominated landscapes (Andrén 1994, Crooks 2002).”
Recreation and large mammal activity in an urban nature reserve (2006, background): “…sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances (Terborgh, 1974; Pimm et al., 1988; Breitenmoser, 1998; Woodroffe and Ginsberg, 1998; Woodroffe, 2000; Crooks, 2002; Gittleman et al., 2001; Ray et al., 2005), and prior studies have suggested human recreation can alter carnivore behavior and…”
Late Quaternary Extinctions: State of the Debate (2006, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. diversity with habitat fragmentation is often observed in natural and simulated systems (Crooks 2002, Lindenmayer et al. 2000, Wahlberg et al. 1996).”
Predictors of Species Sensitivity to Fragmentation (2004, background): “However, when larger control sites more distant to urban areas were included, several native mesopredator species were more fragmentation sensitive than the coyote (Crooks 2002).”
Antipredator strategies of house finches: are urban habitats safe spots from predators even when humans are around? (2009, background): “The goal of this study was to assess the degree of perceived predation risk in a social species, the house finch Carpodacus mexicanus, in areas with different levels of urbanization and human activity in Southern California during the non-breeding season.”
Functional connectivity within conservation networks: Delineating corridors for African elephants (2013, background): “Large mammals are of particular interest for conservation networks because these species operate at broad spatial scales and consequently their populations are more likely to be fragmented (Crooks 2002).”
A range-wide model of landscape connectivity and conservation for the jaguar, Panthera onca (2010, background): “The negative effects of habitat loss and fragmentation, particularly on large-bodied, wide-ranging, solitary carnivores is well documented (Crooks, 2002).”
Carnivore biodiversity in Tanzania: revealing the distribution patterns of secretive mammals using camera traps (2010, background): “Carnivores are also among those taxa most sensitive to changes in the environment: as potential carnivore habitat continues to become degraded and lost to conservation (Woodroffe, 2000; Crooks, 2002; Cardillo et al., 2004) establishing the status of the remaining carnivores has become an increasingl”
Species persistence in northerly glacial refugia of Europe: a matter of chance or biogeographical traits? (2008, background): “For animals that persisted in northerly refugia, did the restricted habitat only allow the persistence of animals with small home ranges and small body sizes (e.g. Crooks, 2002)?”
The ecology of urban areas and their functions for species diversity (2011, neutral): “The results of recent studies reveal a high penetration of birds (Hodgson et al. 2007), bats (Loeb et al. 2009), and small mammals (Crooks 2002) into well-greened built-up areas.”
Shared resources between giant panda and sympatric wild and domestic mammals (2015, methodology): “Most camera stations were baited with commercial carnivore scent lure (Carman’s Magna-Glan Lure, Montgomery Fur Company, UT, USA) upon deployment to slow animal movement around the camera to ensure sufficient reaction time for the camera sensor (Barea-Azcón et al., 2007; Crooks, 2002).”
Spatial and Temporal Structure of a Mesocarnivore Guild in Midwestern North America (2015, background): “Gray fox occupancy was highest in spatially complex areas within the 20% of home- range buffer, suggesting a higher degree of adaptation to fragmentation than other carnivores, which was observed statewide in Illinois (Cooper et al. 2012) and other landscapes (Crooks 2002).”
A Quantitative Conservation Approach for the Endangered Butterfly Maculinea alcon (2004, background): “…et al. 2000; WallisDeVries 2001; Fleishman et al. 2002) but also for amphibians (Sjögren-Gulve & Ray 1996; Vos & Stumpel 1996; Guerry & Hunter 2002), birds (Söderström & Pärt 2000; Crooks et al. 2001), and mammals (Morrison et al. 1992; Lawies et al. 2000; Crooks 2002; Meyer & Miller 2002).”
Big city life: carnivores in urban environments (2012, background): “Crooks (2002) reported that of 11 predator species in southern California, the four largest (puma, coyote, bobcat and American badger, Taxidea taxus) and two smallest (western spotted skunk Spilogale gracilis and long-tailed weasel Mustela frenata) species were most sensitive to fragmentation of…”
Bias in carnivore diet analysis resulting from misclassification of predator scats based on field identification (2016, background): “Counts or presence of scats are sometimes used in spoor or sign surveys to infer relative activity, abundance, or habitat use of predators (Crooks 2002, Balme et al. 2009, Bauer et al. 2014, Gulsby et al. 2015).”
