• Ecological Impacts of Deer Overabundance (2004, background): “Eventually, results from such experiments will allow ecologists to make specific recommendations at the right scales, such as 10 years of fewer than 7 deer/km2 over areas of at least 60 km2 (Hobbs 2003, Weisberg et al. 2004).”
• Scale for resource selection functions (2006, background): “For example, aligning habitat models with the scale at which resource management decisions are made might increase the utility of the models in habitat management (Hobbs, 2003).”
• Forest dynamics and ungulate herbivory: from leaf to landscape (2003, background): “Perhaps it is most fruitful at this point to adopt more creative, integrative approaches that consider multiple processes and broad scales of inquiry—even if this means occasionally sacrificing a certain level of experimental rigor (Hobbs, 2003).”
• Habitat Selection at Multiple Scales (2009, background): “…scale—the duration and resolution of observations in time—not only merits attention (Orians & Wittenberger, 1991; Folt, Nislow & Power, 1998; Fortin, Fryxell & Pilote, 2002; Hobbs, 2003; Vistnes & Nellemann, 2008), but in some circumstances may be more important than spatial scale (Fahrig, 1992).”
• Effects of sika deer on vegetation in Japan: A review (2009, background): “This seems to be a good example to show the landscape scale (Hobbs, 2003) where digging of rhizomes of a particular plant cause vegetational changes connected by water channels away from the digging.”
