• Long‐term biological legacies of herbivore density in a landscape‐scale experiment: forest understoreys reflect past deer density treatments for at least 20 years (2014, background): “Furthermore, Hester et al. (2000) pointed out that because large herbivores are integral parts of many forest ecosystems and their effects are frequently nonlinearly related to their density, studies of herbivore effects must investigate multiple herbivore densities.”
• Multiple Effects of Introduced Mammalian Herbivores in a Temperate Forest (2002, background): “For example, the introduced North American gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is believed to outcompete the native red squirrel (S. vulgaris) in England (Williamson 1996), and the North American beaver (Castor canadensis) is believed to displace the native European beaver (C. fiber) in Finland (Nu”
• Density‐related effects of deer browsing on the regeneration dynamics of boreal forests (2007, unknown): “Our ability to predict forest regeneration and succession patterns in order to provide sound management prescriptions requires the pursuit of long-term experimental studies that control for multiple sources of variation (Hester et al. 2000; Côté et al. 2004; Wisdom et al. 2006).”
• Life history strategies of aspen (Populus tremula L.) and browsing effects: a literature review (2011, background): “…Kouki et al. , 2004 ; Wooley et al. , 2008 ) Seedling recruitment Variable Trampling positive for germination, but may increase seedling mortality ( Hester et al. , 2000 ; Danell et al. , 2003 ) Growth rate High Reduced growth rate due to browsing, and indirectly due to cost of chemical defence…”
• The Role of Moose as a Disturbance Factor in Managed Boreal Forests (2002, background): “Browsing primarily tends to retard stand development by arresting height growth (Hester et al. 2000).”
• Understanding Ungulate Herbivory–Episodic Disturbance Effects on Vegetation Dynamics: Knowledge Gaps and Management Needs (2006, background): “Latham (1999) and Hester et al. (2000) concluded that thresholds of ungulate density exist, above which the interactions of multiple species of ungulates become important.”
