The Rise of the Mesopredator (PDF)
BioScience, October 2009
Apex predators have experienced catastrophic declines throughout the world as a result of human persecution and habitat loss. These collapses in top predator populations are commonly associated with dramatic increases in the abundance of smaller predators. Known as "mesopredator release", these outbreaks are causing ecological, economic, and social costs around the world.
Large Predators and Trophic Cascades in Terrestrial Ecosystems of the Western United States.
(PDF) Biological Conservation, June 2009
Beschta and Ripple synthesize outcomes of recent tri-trophic cascades studies involving the presence and absence of large predators for five national parks in the western United States, including Olympic, Yosemite,Yellowstone, Zion, and Wind Cave. Large predator recovery may represent an important restoration strategy for ecosystems degraded by wild ungulates.
