Mule deer and black‐tailed deer O docoileus hemionus have exhibited marked population
fluctuations throughout their range over the past century. The relative contributions of …

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 …

Body reserves of numerous taxa follow seasonal rhythms that are a function of temporal
patterns in food availability and life‐history events; however, tests of the theory underlying …

Baleen whales store energy gained on foraging grounds to support reproduction and other
metabolic needs while fasting for long periods during migration. Whale body condition can …

Impermeable barriers to migration can greatly constrain the set of possible routes and
ranges used by migrating animals. For ungulates, however, many forms of development are …

Large herbivore populations respond strongly to remotely sensed measures of primary
productivity. Whereas most studies in seasonal environments have focused on the effects of …

Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) can live in extremely harsh environments and subsist on
submaintenance diets for much of the year. Under these conditions, energy stored as body …

Maternal effects are the influence of maternal phenotype and the maternally-provided
environment on the phenotype (ie, expression of traits) of offspring. Frequently, maternal …

In heterogeneous landscapes, large herbivores employ plastic behavioral strategies to
buffer themselves against negative effects of environmental variation on fitness. Yet, the …

Large terrestrial mammals increasingly rely on human‐modified landscapes as
anthropogenic footprints expand. Land management activities such as timber harvest …
