• Assessing differential prey selection patterns between two sympatric large carnivores (2003, result): “While it could be argued that the distribution of both cougars and their kill sites simply reflects prey distribution ( Pierce et al. 2000 ), this assertion can be countered for our study by the fact that wolves consistently killed prey at higher elevations and in different vegetation zones, suggest”
• Responses of tiger (Panthera tigris) and their prey to removal of anthropogenic influences in Rajaji National Park, India (2009, background): “…detailing the social organization of tigers (Sunquist 1981, Smith et al. 1987, Smith and McDougal 1991) and other solitary felids (Bailey 1993, Ferreras et al. 1997, Pierce et al. 2000) have been conducted among relatively established populations, Seidensticker et al. (1973) documented a high (∼47”
• HABITAT SELECTION BY MULE DEER: FORAGE BENEFITS OR RISK OF PREDATION? (2004, background): “Mountain lions are noctur- nal and hunt and feed primarily at night (Beier et al. 1995; Pierce et al. 1998, 2000a).”
• Distribution and density of moose in relation to landscape characteristics: effects of scale (2005, background): “Heterogeneity affects predator–prey dynamics (Bowman and Harris 1980; Pierce et al. 2000), competition among species (Pacala and Roughgarden 1982), population and metapopulation processes (Stenseth 1980; Dempster and Pollard 1986; Dunning et al.”
• SEXUAL SEGREGATION IN RUMINANTS: DEFINITIONS, HYPOTHESES, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT (2004, background): “For instance, differences between sexes invoked in explaining the sexual dimorphism–body size hypothesis also relate to susceptibility of sexes to predation (Pierce et al. 2000a, 2000b), which is encompassed under the reproductive strategy hypothesis.”
• Spatial organization and food habits of jaguars (Panthera onca) in a floodplain forest (2007, background): “It follows that, competition for food should be less pronounced in areas where individuals overlap, such that fewer prey would be killed in those areas than would be expected based on the availability of resources (Mech, 1977; Pierce et al., 2000 ).”
• Effects of scale on interpreting life‐history characteristics of ungulates and carnivores (2006, background): “Deciding what is available to an animal can be complex, especially for large carnivores where the dispersal and density of prey can be a key component in the distribution of the predator (Pierce et al., 2000).”
• Cougar predation and population growth of sympatric mule deer and white-tailed deer (2002, background): “Recent research, however, has suggested that this may not hold and that cougars more strongly resemble a migratory generalist that responds to prey/deer densities (Pierce et al. 2000).”
