The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Coping with human disturbance: spatial and temporal tactics of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) (2010, background): “In addition, moose (Alces alces (L., 1758)), whose calves are predated by bears (Swenson et al. 2007), forage preferably in regenerating forest stands and clearcuts (Edenius et al. 2002; Nikula et al. 2004; Cassing et al. 2006).”
Seasonality and human disturbance alter brown bear activity patterns: implications for circumpolar carnivore conservation? (2017, background): “In spring, bears prey on ungulate calves across the northern Hemisphere (Fortin et al., 2012 in America; Swenson et al., 2007 in Eurasia).”
Effects of Predator Treatments, Individual Traits, and Environment on Moose Survival in Alaska (2011, background): “Condition of individual moose affects their susceptibility to predation (Testa and Adams 1998, Keech et al. 2000, Swenson et al. 2007) and density, age, and weather can influence moose survival independent of predator treatments (Van Ballenberghe and Ballard 1997; Boertje et al. 2007, 2009).”
