Wolves, white-tailed deer, and beaver: implications of seasonal prey switching for woodland caribou declines (2013, background): “For example, Latham et al. (2011b) reported a seasonal effect whereby wolf use of industrial linear features as travel corridors into peatlands increased in summer and resulted in wolves hunting more frequently in cariboupreferred habitats (also see James and Stuart-Smith 2000).”
Black bear adaptation to low productivity in the boreal forest (2008, background): “Finally, forest roads that increase access could be used as travel corridors (Bennett, 1991; Noss, 2001) or provide conditions that improve predator efficiency (Bergerud, 1981; James & Stuart-Smith, 2000).”
Population dynamics of the endangered mountain ecotype of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in British Columbia, Canada (2005, background): “In addition, linear corridors associated with industrial operations in forested areas may increase the speed and range of predator movements and thus result in increased predation on caribou (James and Stuart-Smith 2000).”
Human Activity Differentially Redistributes Large Mammals in the Canadian Rockies National Parks (2011, result): “This corroborates previous findings indicating that wolves may use linear features with low levels of human activity for travel routes (Thurber et al. 1994, Callaghan 2002) because these features may allow wolves ease of travel (James and Stuart-Smith 2000).”
Range fidelity: The missing link between caribou decline and habitat alteration? (2010, background): “, 2009), as well as linear disturbances such as seismic lines and roads, and oilfield complexes (James and Stuart-Smith, 2000; Dyer et al., 2001).”
Foraging strategies by omnivores: are black bears actively searching for ungulate neonates or are they simply opportunistic predators? (2011, background): “By being constantly on the move, bears should increase the encounter rate with ungulate neonates, with conservation and management consequences (James and Stuart-Smith 2000).”
Path tortuosity and the permeability of roads and trails to wolf movement (2004, result): “This result was surprising, given that the wolves elsewhere select areas near low-use roads and seismic lines (Thurber et al. 1994, James and Stuart-Smith 2000), suggesting that such features should not impede movement.”
Habitat Use by Meso-Predators in a Corridor Environment (2006, background): “Previous studies of predator–prey interactions along corridors suggest that the predator use of human trails and roads increases the depredation rate of prey (Trewhella and Harris 1990, James and Stuart-Smith 2000).”
Finnish wolves avoid roads and settlements (2005, background): “Linear corridors may allow wolves to travel more quickly through their environment (James & Stuart-Smith 2000).”
Impact of non‐indigenous species on natives enhanced by anthropogenic alteration of selection regimes (2002, background): “For example, caribou restricted by oil pipelines suffered increased wolf attacks (James and Stuart-Smith 2000).”
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).”
