- Intraguild predation in raptor assemblages: A review (2008, unknown): “…field of research is the potential for intraguild predation to affect biodiversity and structure whole communities by triggering trophic cascades and by increasing environmental heterogeneity through its spatially heterogeneous effect on mesopredators (e.g. Ray et al. 2005 and references therein).”
- Density and activity patterns of ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in northern Peru and the impact of oil exploration activities (2010, unknown): “Due to the key role that large carnivores play in regulation of ecosystem function (Crooks and Soule, 1999; Ray et al., 2005; Ripple and Beschta, 2006; Terborgh et al., 1999), knowledge of how their populations respond to human disturbances is crucial to ecosystem conservation efforts.”
- Seven considerations about dingoes as biodiversity engineers: the socioecological niches of dogs in Australia (2012, unknown): “Humans have historically besieged wild apex predators throughout the world, leading to the endangerment of many wild canid species (Ray et al. 2005; Sillero-Zubiri et al. 2007).”
- Large predators limit herbivore densities in northern forest ecosystems (2012, unknown): “for predators to serve as restorative agents (Ray et al. 2005; Ritchie et al. 2012).”
- Linking a cougar decline, trophic cascade, and catastrophic regime shift in Zion National Park (2006, unknown): “A top-down trophic cascades model would predict an increase in consumer biomass and a decrease in producer biomass following predator removal, while the bottom-up model would predict little or no change in consumer or producer biomass after their removal (Ray et al., 2005).”
- The Ecological Role of the Mammalian Mesocarnivore (2009, unknown): “Large mammalian carnivores (species in the orderCarnivora) are ecologically important because a few individuals can cause strong predation-driven direct effects or fear-driven indirect effects on communities and ecosystems (Ripple and Beschta 2004, Ray et al. 2005).”
