▪ Abstract In large-herbivore populations, environmental variation and density dependence
co-occur and have similar effects on various fitness components. Our review aims to quantify …

Recent long-term studies of population ecology of large herbivorous mammals suggest that
survival of prime-aged females varies little from year to year and across populations …

Herbivores and pathogens impact the species composition, ecosystem function, and
socioeconomic value of forests. Herbivores and pathogens are an integral part of forests, but …

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 …

Scientists and conservationists are beginning to understand the importance of top
carnivores to the health and integrity of fully functioning ecosystems. As burgeoning human …

Density‐dependence is a key concept in population dynamics. Here, we review how body
mass and demographic parameters vary with population density in large herbivores. The …

Increased levels of natural gas exploration, development, and production across the
Intermountain West have created a variety of concerns for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) …

Coyotes are competitors with, and predators of, a wide array of species. How might coyotes
in the Northeast influence the distribution and abundance of other species, including those …

A total of 111 papers and reports, coming from 79 major studies and 19 other studies, on
neonatal (first summer) mortality of 10 species of northern, temperate ungulates were …

Wildlife management in modern environments has to contend with an inheritance of faunal
and landscape changes caused by humans which affect the relationships between …
