Predation risk and mountain goat reproduction: Evidence for stress‐induced breeding suppression in a wild ungulate
Non‐consumptive effects of predation can strongly impact reproduction and demography of
prey species. Still, the underlying mechanisms that drive non‐consumptive effects are not …

Long‐term studies of bighorn sheep and mountain goats reveal fitness costs of reproduction
Fitness costs of reproduction are expected when resources are limited. Costs drive the
evolution of life‐history strategies and can affect population dynamics if females change …

Maternal characteristics and environment affect the costs of reproduction in female mountain goats
Reproduction should reduce resources available for somatic investment and result in
fundamental trade‐offs among life‐history traits. Using 18 years of longitudinal data from …

Reproduction has different costs for immunity and parasitism in a wild mammal
GF Albery, KA Watt, R Keith, S Morris… - Functional …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Life history theory predicts that reproductive allocation draws resources away from immunity,
resulting in increased parasitism. However, studies of reproductive trade‐offs rarely examine …

Staying close to home: Ecological constraints on space use and range fidelity in a mountain ungulate
Understanding patterns of animal space use and range fidelity has important implications for
species and habitat conservation. For species that live in highly seasonal environments …

Silvicultural herbicides and forest succession influence understory vegetation and nutritional ecology of black-tailed deer in managed forests
The increasing intensity of forestry practices, especially using herbicides to promote early
survival and growth of planted conifers, has the potential to influence the abundance of …

Of goats and heat, the differential impact of summer temperature on habitat selection and activity patterns in mountain goats of different ecotypes
Climate change disproportionately affects northern and alpine environments, with faster
rates of warming than the global average. Because alpine and northern species are …

Influences of habitat composition, plant phenology, and population density on autumn indices of body condition in a northern white‐tailed deer population
A Simard, J Huot, S De Bellefeuille… - Wildlife …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Body condition has a strong influence on reproduction and survival. Consequently,
understanding spatiotemporal variation in body condition may help identify processes that …

Is summer food intake a limiting factor for boreal browsers? Diet, temperature, and reproduction as drivers of consumption in female moose
Food intake may limit the ability of browsing mammals to gain body mass during the growing
season when the leaves and stems of woody plants are most abundant. Moose are highly …

Nutritional implications of increased shrub cover for caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Arctic
Shrubs are increasing in the annual range of arctic caribou (Rangifer tarandus (L., 1758)),
but it is unknown how much summer browse caribou could consume. We measured …
