Towards a mechanistic understanding of the responses of large terrestrial mammals to heat and aridity associated with climate change (2016, background): “Human killing has contributed previously to megafauna extinctions [13] and larger species currently are disproportionately exploited by humans [151, 153].”
Anthropogenic modulators of species–area relationships in Neotropical primates: a continental‐scale analysis of fragmented forest landscapes (2013, background): “Large-bodied primates comprise the most preferred prey items for indigenous groups in Neotropical forests (Redford & Robinson, 1987; Jerozolimski & Peres, 2003), and hunting is widely considered to be the most severe threat for many primate species (Milner-Gulland & Bennett, 2003), vastly…”
Wild meat: the bigger picture (2003, background): “Large species, such as tapirs or primates, disappear first and, as they vanish, people turn to hunting smaller ones, such as squirrels or cane rats [12, 13 ].”
Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “…sources, and there is good reason to believe this process also operated in some places and times in the past (e.g., Alvard 1993, 1994, 1995; Aswani 1998; Hames 1987; Jerozolinski and Peres 2003; Kay 1994; Laliberte and Ripple 2003; Penn 2003; Simenstad et al. 1978; Steadman 1995; Vickers 1994).”
Conservation Biology for All (2010, background): “Hunting for either subsistence or commerce can profoundly affect the structure of tropical forest vertebrate assemblages, as revealed by both village-based kill-profiles (Jerozolimski and Peres 2003; Fa et al. 2005) and wildlife surveys in hunted and unhunted forests.”
Linking plant phenology to conservation biology (2016, background): “This is especially critical for large-seeded plant species, given their reliance on large-bodied seed dispersers that are usually the preferred targets of game hunters (Dirzo et al., 2014; Jerozolimski and Peres, 2003).”
Co‐declining mammals and dung beetles: an impending ecological cascade (2009, background): “overhunted forests (Jerozolimski and Peres 2003), sometimes”
Basin‐Wide Effects of Game Harvest on Vertebrate Population Densities in Amazonian Forests: Implications for Animal‐Mediated Seed Dispersal (2007, background): “These traits tend to be highly correlated with body size, a key variable in determining hunter preference in terms of both prey species and sex/age classes (Alvard 1993, Jerozolimski & Peres 2003).”
The Conservation of Brazilian Reptiles: Challenges for a Megadiverse Country (2005, background): “Hunting is difficult to control and is deleterious to reptile communities over the mid term ( Jerozolimski & Peres 2003).”
Hunting of Mammals Reduces Seed Removal and Dispersal of the Afrotropical Tree Antrocaryon klaineanum (Anacardiaceae) (2007, background): “…a limited capacity to produce wild meat (Barnes 2002), and the large mammals targeted by hunters are particularly vulnerable to local extinction due to relatively low annual production and prolonged developmental periods (Robinson & Bodmer 1999, Brashares et al. 2001, Jerozolimski & Peres 2003).”
The blowgun is mightier than the chainsaw in determining population density of Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus morio) in the forests of East Kalimantan (2006, unknown): “Although hunting is known to have strong effects on the abundance of vertebrates across the tropics (e.g., Cullen et al., 2000; Meijaard and Nijman, 2000; Jerozolimski and Peres, 2003), estimation of true hunting rates is difficult, especially for rare species.”
Priority areas for the conservation of Atlantic forest large mammals (2009, background): “With the exception of squirrels and marmosets, the mammal species we censused are widely hunted throughout the Neotropics (Redford, 1992; Peres, 2000), but the choice of game species harvested depends on both prey availability and the cultural background of consumers (Jerozolimski and Peres, 2003).”
Differential Responses to Hunting in Two Sympatric Species of Brocket Deer (Mazama americana and M. nana) (2008, background): “First, the difference may reflect hunters’ preference for larger prey (Jerozolimski & Peres 2003, Fa et al. 2005, Peres & Palacios 2007).”
