• Influence of harvest, climate and wolf predation on Yellowstone elk, 1961‐2004 (2005, unknown): “Common perspectives include assessing kill rate (Vucetich et al. 2002), cause-specific rates of mortality among various age classes of prey (Ballard et al.”
• Raven scavenging favours group foraging in wolves (2004, unknown): “The overall average kill rate was 0.88 moose per wolf per month (Z4.5 moose per pack per month), where month equals 365/12 (for a discussion of the ecological determinants and consequences of these kill rates, see Vucetich et al. 2002 ).”
• Digestively constrained predators evade the cost of interference competition (2004, background): “Ecological Society, Journal of Animal Ecology , 73 , 386‐398 received by far the most attention, and forms the basis of much current thinking about aggregative responses (Tregenza 1995; van der Meer & Ens 1997; Abrams & Ginzburg 2000; Skalski & Gilliam 2001; Vucetich, Peterson & Schaefer 2002 ).”
• Effects of hunting group size, snow depth and age on the success of wolves hunting moose (2006, background): “These developments of the theory have been supported by empirical studies, including studies of wolfeungulate systems where large variation in per capita kill rates is found both within (Hayes et al. 2000; Vucetich et al. 2002) and between wolf, Canis lupus, populations (Messier 1994).”
