Human Activity Differentially Redistributes Large Mammals in the Canadian Rockies National Parks (2011, background): “…hemionus; Freddy et al. 1986), bobcats (Lynx rufus) and coyotes (Canis 1Parks Canada, 2University of Calgary, 3University of Montana latrans; George and Crooks 2006), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis; Keller and Bender 2007), bison (Bison bison) and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana; Taylor…”
Matrix is important for mammals in landscapes with small amounts of native forest habitat (2011, background): “This can result in wildlife avoiding otherwise suitable habitat (George and Crooks 2006).”
Mesopredator spatial and temporal responses to large predators and human development in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California (2015, background): “However, we expected areas with higher human activity would reduce temporal niche partitioning by restricting wildlife activities during diurnal hours (George and Crooks, 2006; Reed and Merenlender, 2008).”
Dogs Canis familiaris as carnivores: their role and function in intraguild competition (2009, background): “George & Crooks (2006) reported that the probability of detecting bobcats Lynx rufus decreased with increasing human activity (due to dog walkers), and that bobcats displayed temporal displacement in areas used by hikers, bikers and dogs.”
Home Range and Landscape Use of Coyotes in a Metropolitan Landscape: Conflict or Coexistence? (2009, background): “Even within large urban natural parks, coyotes typically avoid areas or trails with high human activity (George and Crooks 2006).”
Cougar space use and movements in the wildland–urban landscape of western Washington (2011, result): “…habitat for cougars, which is consistent with observations of black bears (Ursus americanus; Lyons 2005) coyotes (Bounds and Shaw 1997, Atwood et al. 2004, Grubbs and Krausman 2009), and bobcats ( Lynx rufus' Tigas et al. 2002, George and Crooks 2006) within the wildland-urban environment.”
Seasonality and human disturbance alter brown bear activity patterns: implications for circumpolar carnivore conservation? (2017, background): “Also, wildlife often becomes nocturnal to avoid humans (e.g. George & Crooks, 2006).”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “Alternatively anthropogenic interference with larger predators (Erb et al. 2012; George and Crooks 2006; Theuerkauf et al. 2003) could potentially reduce suppression.”
Human activity influences wildlife populations and activity patterns: implications for spatial and temporal refuges (2021, background): “…to be more active during nocturnal periods, presumably to use recreation v www.esajournals.org 9 May 2021 v Volume 12(5) v Article e03487 v www.esajournals.org 10 May 2021 v Volume 12(5) v Article e03487 areas when human disturbance was minimized (George and Crooks 2006, Barrueto et al. 2014).”
Big city life: carnivores in urban environments (2012, background): “Bobcats Lynx rufus (e.g. George & Crooks, 2006; Riley, 2006; Riley et al., 2010) and pumas Puma concolor (e.g. Beier, 1995; Markovchick-Nicholls et al., 2008; Beier, Riley & Sauvajot, 2010) have been reported from parks and large gardens in suburbs on the edge of the urbanundeveloped land interface…”
