TLDR
This work couple a literature survey with a hierarchical framework, developed from established theory, to quantify the methodological variation in characterizing risk using carnivore-ungulate systems as a case study and suggests risk metrics be placed in a more concrete conceptual framework to clarify inference surrounding risk effects and their cascading effects throughout ecosystems.Abstract:

Landscapes of Fear: Spatial Patterns of Risk Perception and Response
TL;DR: By disambiguating the mechanisms through which prey perceive risk and incorporate fear into decision making, this work can better quantify the nonlinear relationship between risk and response and evaluate the relative importance of the landscape of fear across taxa and ecosystems.

TL;DR: The quantified the elk LOF, defined here as spatial allocation of time away from risky places and times, across nearly 1,000km of northern Yellowstone National Park and found that it fluctuated with the crepuscular activity pattern of wolves, enabling elk to use risky places during wolf downtimes.

Enemies with benefits: integrating positive and negative interactions among terrestrial carnivores.
Laura R. Prugh,Kelly J. Sivy +1 more
TL;DR: An integrative framework and synthesized data from 256 studies of intraguild predation, scavenging, kleptoparisitism and resource availability are developed, suggesting that the ecosystem service of mesocarnivore suppression provided by large carnivores is strong and not easily replaced by humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The control of risk hypothesis: reactive vs. proactive antipredator responses and stress-mediated vs. food-mediated costs of response.
TL;DR: The control of risk (COR) hypothesis is developed, predicting that proactive responses to predictable and controllable aspects of risk will generally have food-mediated costs, while reactive responses to unpredictable or uncontrollable parts of predation risk will Generally have stress- mediated costs.

What does urbanization actually mean? A framework for urban metrics in wildlife research
Remington J. Moll,Jonathon D. Cepek,Patrick D. Lorch,Patricia M. Dennis,Patricia M. Dennis,Eric D. Tans,Terry Robison,Joshua J. Millspaugh,Robert A. Montgomery +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a formal literature survey with a conceptual framework to document and synthesize the myriad of metrics used to quantify urbanization, which enables clear cataloguing of urban metrics by identifying the urban component measured, the method of measurement, the metric's spatial scale and metric's temporal nature.

TL;DR: This work has shown that predation is a major selective force in the evolution of several morphological and behavioral characteristics of animals and the importance of predation during evolutionary time has been underestimated.

The components of prédation as revealed by a study of small-mammal prédation of the European pine sawfly.
TL;DR: Predation, one such process that affects numbers, forms the subject of the present paper and is based on the density-dependence concept of Smith ( 1955) and the competition theory of Nicholson (1933).

Strong Inference: Certain systematic methods of scientific thinking may produce much more rapid progress than others
TL;DR: Weinberg as mentioned in this paper pointed out that some fields of science are moving forward very much faster than others, perhaps by an order of magnitude, if numbers could be put on such estimates.
Certain systematic methods of scientific thinking may produce much more rapid progress than others.
TL;DR: Anyone who looks at the matter closely will agree that some fields of science are moving forward very much faster than others, perhaps by an order of magnitude, if numbers could be put on such estimates.
