Life‐history characteristics of mule deer: effects of nutrition in a variable environment
Vital rates of large herbivores normally respond to increased resource limitation by following
a progressive sequence of effects on life‐history characteristics from survival of young, age …

Animal migration amid shifting patterns of phenology and predation: lessons from a Yellowstone elk herd
Migration is a striking behavioral strategy by which many animals enhance resource
acquisition while reducing predation risk. Historically, the demographic benefits of such …

Demographic balancing of migrant and resident elk in a partially migratory population through forage–predation tradeoffs
Partial migration is widespread in ungulates, yet few studies have assessed demographic
mechanisms for how these alternative strategies are maintained in populations. Over the …
