Prey tells, large herbivores fear the human 'super predator'
Fear of the human 'super predator'has been demonstrated to so alter the feeding behavior of
large carnivores as to cause trophic cascades. It has yet to be experimentally tested if fear of …

“Ecology of fear” in ungulates: Opportunities for improving conservation
Because ungulates are important contributors to ecosystem function, understanding the
“ecology of fear” could be important to the conservation of ecosystems. Although studying …

White‐tailed deer population dynamics and adult female survival in the presence of a novel predator
Recent localized declines in white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations in the
southeastern United States have been linked to increasing predation pressure from coyotes …

Home range size, vegetation density, and season influences prey use by coyotes (Canis latrans)
To ensure reproductive success, Canis species establish contiguous mosaics of territories in
suitable habitats to partition space and defend limiting resources. Consequently, Canis …

Resource pulses shape seasonal and individual variation in the diet of an omnivorous carnivore
Resource pulses are ecologically important phenomenon that occur in most ecosystems
globally. Following optimal foraging theory, many consumers switch to pulsatile foods when …

Effects of predation risk and group dynamics on white-tailed deer foraging behavior in a longleaf pine savanna
Costs associated with antipredator behaviors can have profound effects on prey
populations. We investigated the effects of predation risk on white-tailed deer foraging …

Do biological and bedsite characteristics influence survival of neonatal white-tailed deer?
Coyotes recently expanded into the eastern US and potentially have caused localized white-
tailed deer population declines. Research has focused on quantifying coyote predation on …

Maternal behaviors influence survival of ungulate neonates under heavy predation risk
Predators impose top‐down forces on prey populations, with the strength of those effects
often varying over space and time and among demographic groups. In ungulates, predation …

Variability in fire prescriptions to promote wildlife foods in the longleaf pine ecosystem
Prescribed fire is commonly used to restore and maintain the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris
