Ecological research during winter has historically been a low priority in northeastern North
America, an oversight that stems from the commonly accepted notion that there is little …

Summary 1 This account reviews information on all aspects of the biology of Juniperus
communis that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour …

Mechanisms that affect the spatial distribution of animals are typically scale‐dependent and
may involve forage distribution. Forage quality and quantity are often inversely correlated …

Large herbivores are keystone species in many forest areas, as they shape the structure,
species diversity and functioning of those ecosystems. The European bison Bison bonasus …

Understanding dietary specialization in herbivores has theoretical and practical implications
in ecology, yet defining niche breadth consistently has been problematic. To increase clarity …

Habitat selection can be considered as a hierarchical process in which animals satisfy their
habitat requirements at different ecological scales. Theory predicts that spatial and temporal …

Due primarily to anthropogenic influences such as land use change, exotic species
introductions, livestock grazing, altered hunting regimes, and predator control, wild ungulate …

Wooded rangelands are a vast grazing land resource globally, including shrublands,
savannas and forested ranges. They generally provide forage year-round for small …

We review the interactions between moose (Alces alces) and native tree species in
Fennoscandia. The Fennoscandian boreal forests have been intensively managed for wood …

We analyzed the relation between early winter distribution and density of female moose
(Alces alces L.) and habitat heterogeneity in interior Alaska. We tested for effects of …
