Functional response of a generalist insect predator to one of its prey species in the field (2002, background): “Because of the secretive nature of predation events most field studies on functional responses so far involved large vertebrate predators like foxes (Angerbjorn 1989; Pech et al. 1992; White, WhiteVanderbilt & Ralls 1996; Reid, Krebs & Kenney 1997; O’Mahony et al. 1999; Elmhagen et al. 2000), wolves”
Molecular identification of prey in predator diets (2002, background): “…Petty 1999; Velando & Freire 1999), and bird (Moreby 1988; Ewins et al. 1994) or mammal faeces (Pearson 1966; North 1996; Pavey & Burwell 1997; Elmhagen et al. 2000), will sometimes provide information on consumption of prey that leave indigestible remains, such as arthropod cuticle or…”
Review of Data on Diets of Beaked Whales: Evidence of Niche Separation and Geographic Segregation (2003, background): “…will relate to the distribution of the predator and will, in part, de¢ne the habitats in which a speci¢c predator occurs, while the abundance of preferred prey may a¡ect the abundance of the predator within a speci¢c habitat (e.g. Mills & Knowlton, 1991; Pike et al., 1999; Elmhagen et al., 2000).”
Integrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Ecological Science: a Question of Scale (2009, background): “Lemmings (Dicrostonyx and Lemmus spp.) and voles (Microtus) are the primary prey of arctic foxes occupying inland habitats (Macpherson 1964, Angerbjörn et al. 1999, Elmhagen et al. 2000).”
How biotic interactions may alter future predictions of species distributions: future threats to the persistence of the arctic fox in Fennoscandia (2012, background): “Nevertheless, it has been stated that the particularly bad status of the Fennoscandian arctic fox population during the 1980s and 1990s was because of a prolonged absence of lemming peaks (Elmhagen et al., 2000).”
