• Food habits of the world's grey wolves (2016, background): “Yet, there is growing interest in restoring grey wolf populations, both to conserve them and to harness their ecological services (Ripple et al. 2013, 2014).”
• Homage to Hersteinsson and Macdonald: climate warming and resource subsidies cause red fox range expansion and Arctic fox decline (2017, background): “In Eurasia, it is negatively associated with the larger Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx; Elmhagen et al. 2010; Pasanen-Mortensen et al. 2013; Savola 2015), and in North America with the larger coyote (Canis latrans; Ripple et al. 2013; Newsome & Ripple 2015).”
• Golden jackal expansion in Europe: a case of mesopredator release triggered by continent-wide wolf persecution? (2017, unknown): “Given the detrimental implications of mesopredator release on cooccurring species in other systems (Ripple et al., 2013), there is a need for further research on the cascading effects that could have emerged following the expansion of golden jackals in Europe.”
• The ecological effects of providing resource subsidies to predators (2015, background): “Although many factors are likely to affect predator interactions, there is emerging recognition that in human-influenced systems food subsidies may be particularly important (Ripple et al., 2013; Newsome et al., 2014b).”
• Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “At its most extreme scale, human influence can result in mesopredator range expansion and population growth, through the removal of apex predators (Kamler et al. 2003; Ripple et al. 2013; Selås and Vik 2006) or competing mesopredators (Courchamp et al. 1999; Rayner et al. 2007; Trewby et al. 2008).”
