Correlates of horn and antler shape in bovids and cervids (2003, methodology): “Species used in our phylogenetic analyses, however, were limited to the 104 bovids and 32 cervids found in an almost exhaustive phylogeny of the artiodactyls, the derivation of which is described in Stoner et al. (2003) (see also Caro et al. 2003).”
Sociality in New World hystricognath rodents is linked to predators and burrow digging (2006, background): “In support of the predation-risk hypothesis, large-bodied antelope species that use open habitats tend to be group living, whereas small-sized species that seek cover to hide from predators are either solitary or pair living (Brashares et al., 2000; Caro et al., 2004).”
Red deer Cervus elephus vigilance behaviour differs with habitat and type of human disturbance (2008, background): “Animals adopt a diverse set of behaviours to avoid predators and enhance survival (Caro et al. 2004), with vigilance being one of the most frequently studied (McNamara&Houston 1992,Lima1998).”
Responses of elk herd size to fine-scale spatial and temporal variation in the risk of predation by wolves (2005, unknown): “The effect of group size on predation risk is one of the most-studied aspects of interactions between predators and prey (Kenward 1978; Lazarus 1979; Bertram 1980; Dill & Fraser 1984, 1997; Formanowicz & Bobka 1988; Elgar 1989; Lima & Dill 1990; Sih et al. 1990; Uetz & Hieber 1994; Roberts 1996; Sih”
Individual vigilance of African herbivores while drinking: the role of immediate predation risk and context (2010, background): “The effect of predation risk on group size is one of the most studied aspects of interactions between predators and prey (Elgar 1989; Lima & Dill 1990; Beauchamp 2003), and predation pressure is thought to have played a major role in the evolution of group living and sociality in prey species (Jarma”
The function of mobbing in cooperative meerkats (2007, background): “In several studies (Curio et al. 1978a, b; Stone & Trost 1991; Maklakov 2002; Brown 2003; Caro et al. 2004) it has been shown that animals learn mobbing responses to predators through observing conspecifics.”
The influence of conspecifics and predation risk on the vigilance of elk (Cervus elaphus) in Yellowstone National Park (2006, background): “Ungulates are a particularly good model system to study the interaction between antipredatory and social monitoring hypotheses (Caro et al. 2004), for vigilance has been found to vary with predation pressure (Hunter and Skinner 1998; Laundré et al.”
Effects of risk assessment, predator behavior, and habitat on escape behavior in Columbian black-tailed deer (2007, background): “Regarding the first possible explanation, bounding, stotting, and leaping by ungulates have been shown previously to serve as a means to clear obstacles (Geist 1981; Lingle and Pellis 2002) and as a potential signal to predators of physical ability (reviewed in Caro et al. 2004).”
Personality and foraging decisions in fallow deer, Dama dama (2011, background): “Behavioural measures included the duration and frequencies of vigilance and ‘tensed state,’ defined as a combination of jerk, trot, canter, jump, spook, back-step, high legs, tail horizontal and tail erected (Vierin & Bouissou 2002; Caro et al. 2004; Lansade et al. 2008).”
A Comparison of Social Organization in Asian Elephants and African Savannah Elephants (2012, background): “This is supported by large-scale phylogenetic analyses, which find that herbivores living in open environments tend to be more gregarious (Caro et al. 2004).”
Still walking on the wild side? Management actions as steps towards 'semi-domestication' of hunted ungulates (2010, background): “Predation may exert strong effects on the selection pressure on most aspects of ungulate behaviour (Caro et al. 2004), physiology (Creel et al.”
