Accounting for uncertainty in ecological analysis: the strengths and limitations of hierarchical statistical modeling. (2009, methodology): “To illustrate the themes of the article, we use an ecological study of harbor seals and their abundance at haul-out sites in Prince William Sound, Alaska, as reported by Ver Hoef and Frost (2003).”
Quasi-Poisson vs. negative binomial regression: how should we model overdispersed count data? (2007, methodology): “Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Germany.”
Seascapes of fear: evaluating sublethal predator effects experienced and generated by marine mammals (2008, background): “Examples of predator intimidation and its importance in structuring terrestrial and aquatic communities abound (Werner and Peacor 2003, Schmitz et al. 2004, Preisser et al. 2005, Verdolin 2006) but remain poorly documented in marine systems, especially among vertebrates (Dill et al. 2003).”
High‐dimensional coexistence based on individual variation: a synthesis of evidence (2010, background): “Cressie, N., C. A. Calder, J. S. Clark, J. M. Ver Hoef, and C. K. Wikle.”
Social and Behavioural Factors in Cetacean Responses to Overexploitation: Are Odontocetes Less “Resilient” Than Mysticetes? (2012, background): “Additional causes of its failure to recover, besides the demographic problems, may include high POP levels [72] and a sharp regional decline in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) [73], the primary prey of AT1 killer whales.”
LESSONS FROM MONITORING TRENDS IN ABUNDANCE OF MARINE MAMMALS (2007, methodology): “The detection of trends is improved by the use of models, which include covariates that effectively remove some of the “noise” that may otherwise obscure trends (Forney et al. 1991, Fewster et al. 2000, Ver Hoef and Frost 2003).”
Ongoing population-level impacts on killer whales Orcinus orca following the 'Exxon Valdez' oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2008, background): “…in concert, have been suggested for the lack of recruitment in the AT1 Group, including high contaminant levels (Ylitalo et al. 2001) and the sharp decline of harbor seals in recent decades (Ver Hoef & Frost 2003), a primary prey in Prince William Sound (Frost et al. 1999, Matkin et al. 1999a).”
