Don't bite the hand that feeds: assessing ecological impacts of provisioning ecotourism on an apex marine predator (2012, background): “…in activity budgets promoted by human-mediated changes in the quality, quantity and delivery of food to wild animals by tracking changes in their stress physiology and metabolism, vitality, reproduction and movements (Knight & Cole 1995; Amo, Lopez & Martin 2006; Semeniuk & Rothley 2008).”
Hematological differences between stingrays at tourist and non-visited sites suggest physiological costs of wildlife tourism. (2009, background): “…tourists, more so than in the presence of predators (Holmes et al., 2005), and common wall lizards, Podarcis muralis, in tourist areas exhibited lower body condition, a higher infection to ticks, lower cell-mediated immune response, and consequently reduced reproductive output (Amo et al., 2006).”
Costs of group-living for a normally solitary forager: effects of provisioning tourism on southern stingrays Dasyatis americana (2008, background): “…exhibit increased predator-avoidance energy expenditure, augmented circulating stress hormones, compromised immune function, reduced body condition, and decreased reproduction and survival of animals (Knight & Cole 1995, Ikuta & Blumstein 2003, Lusseau 2003, Müllner et al. 2004, Amo et al. 2006).”
Ski tourism affects habitat use and evokes a physiological stress response in capercaillie Tetrao urogallus: a new methodological approach (2007, background): “Such direct behavioural responses can affect predation risk, energy intake and energy expenditure of the animal (Cassirer, Freddy & Ables 1992) and thus have direct fitness costs ( Amo, Lopez & Martin 2006 ).”
