• Biogeographical variation in the diet of Holarctic martens (genus Martes, Mammalia: Carnivora: Mustelidae): adaptive foraging in generalists (2011, background): “…for many generalist carnivores at the local scale (e.g. American martens, Martes americana, Ben-David et al., 1997; red foxes, Vulpes vulpes, Kjellander & Nordström, 2003; masked palm civets, Paguma larvata, Zhou et al., 2008a) and for several predators across extensive biogeographical…”
• Lynx (Lynx lynx) killing red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in boreal Sweden – frequency and population effects (2006, methodology): “The recovery of the fox population started in the late 1980s (Lindström et al., 1994), and fox density appears to have reached a new maximum in the mid1990s (Kjellander & Nordström, 2003).”
• Habitat heterogeneity and mammalian predator–prey interactions (2012, background): “…a similar dampening effect is predicted for generalist predators (Hanski et al. 1991), as they can switch to an alternative prey if their preferred prey density falls below a certain threshold (Kjellander & Nordström 2003) or according to variation in prey vulnerability (Owen-Smith & Mills 2008).”
• Survival rates and causes of mortality in Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in multi-use landscapes (2006, background): “Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) populations in Scandinavia that were hit by sarcoptic mange during the 1980s have begun to recover, leading to increased predation on roe deer fawns (Lindström et al., 1994; Kjellander and Nordström, 2003; Jarnemo and Liberg, 2005).”
• Plasticity of predation behaviour as a putative driving force for parasite life-cycle dynamics: the case of urban foxes and Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm (2007, unknown): “Predation by foxes on A. terrestris and M. arvalis correlates in general with the abundance of these two prey species (Weber & Aubry 1993; Kjellander & Nordstrom 2003 ), with foxes switching to alternative prey when voles become rare (Kjellander & Nordstrom Table 1.
