Roles of Raptors in a Changing World: From Flagships to Providers of Key Ecosystem Services (2016, background): “…total response (i.e., how the total prey consumed by the total raptor population varies with changing prey densities), which results from summing the functional response (a function of the per capita intake) and the numerical response (a function of the total raptor population; Gilg et al., 2006).”
Climate change and cyclic predator–prey population dynamics in the high Arctic (2009, methodology): “5 in Gilg et al., 2006), and about the numerical and functional responses of the highly specialized migratory avian predators.”
Wildflower areas within revitalized agricultural matrices boost small mammal populations but not breeding Barn Owls (2010, background): “As such, the presence of abundant populations of these dominant taxa often remains the best predictor of predator occurrence and breeding success (e.g. Hansson and Henttonen 1988; Korpimäki and Norrdahl 1991; Veit et al. 1993; Reid and Croxall 2001; Gilg et al. 2003, 2006; Palma et al. 2006).”
Arctic lemmings, Lemmus spp. and Dicrostonyx spp.: integrating ecological and evolutionary perspectives (2008, background): “Moreover, the maximum reported level of winter nest predation by stoats is only 14%, and during the decline phase of the second cycle only 3% of winter nests have been subject to predation (Gilg et al., 2006).”
