Bottom‐up versus top‐down control of tree regeneration in the Białowieża Primeval Forest, Poland (2010, background): “…numerous ungulate is wild boar (Sus scrofa), of which annual density strongly depends on fluctuations in food availability; density varied from 3.4 individuals km)2 in 1999 (Jędrzejewski et al. 2002) to 5.4 individuals km)2 in 2008 (T. Borowik, J. Borkowski & W. Jędrzejewski, unpubl. data).”
The wolves of Isle Royale display scale-invariant satiation and ratio-dependent predation on moose (2005, background): “Because the winter diet of wolves consists of ≈ 90% moose (Thurber & Peterson 1993) and the latter have no other predators than wolves, this system represents a relatively simple predator‐prey system (unlike most other wolf populations in North America or Europe that are embedded in a multipredator ”
Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “Large carnivores can be important mortality drivers of ungulate populations (Jędrzejewski et al. 2002; Melis et al. 2009), maintaining herd health through the removal of unhealthy individuals (Kusak et al. 2012).”
Prey selection and dietary response by wolves in a high-density multi-species ungulate community (2011, background): “Significance, assessed by calculating the confidence intervals for p=0.01 and type of selection (positive sign, selection and negative sign, avoidance) were consistent throughout the period, except for roe deer juveniles and fallow deer adults in 1996 (α) Gazzola et al. 2005; Białowieża Primeval For”
Patterns of wolfCanis lupus predation on wild and domestic ungulates in the Western Carpathian Mountains (S Poland) (2005, background): “However, in the lowlands, where cattle farming is common, calves and cows are frequent or even prevail amongst wolves’ kills (Ionescu 1992, Jêdrzejewski et al. 2002b, 2004).”
Bioenergetic perspectives on Neanderthal thermoregulatory and activity budgets (2006, background): “recorded for wolves in northern Europe and North America ( Jedrzejewski et al., 2002; Hebblewhite et al., 2003).”
Changes of wolf (Canis lupus) diet in Italy in relation to the increase of wild ungulate abundance (2011, background): “…causing the population to decline even faster; this situation can occur when there is no switching by predators, there is no refuge for the prey, and predators have an alternative prey source (MESSIER 1991; MARSHAL & BOUTIN 1999; JEDRZEJEWSKI et al. 2002; WITTMER et al. 2005; SINCLAIR et al. 2006).”
Landscape of fear in Europe: wolves affect spatial patterns of ungulate browsing in Bialowieza Primeval Forest, Poland (2013, methodology): “Taken into account the average kill rate of their main prey species, on a yearly basis one wolf pack kills 118 red deer per year within its territory (Jędrzejewski et al. 2002), of which half would be predated inside the core area based on the amount of time spent by the wolf pack there.”
