Ungulate populations are important natural resources, associated with both costs and
benefits. Conflicts have arisen between stakeholders who benefit from high ungulate …

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 …

Negative effects of long‐transported pollutants, such as many persistent organic pollutants
(POP s), on seabirds and other top predators have been documented for decades. Yet, the …

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 …

Global warming is expected to cause earlier springs and increased primary productivity in
the Arctic. These changes may improve food availability for Arctic herbivores, but may also …

Energy stores and migration are important adaptations for animals in seasonal
environments, but their roles may vary relative to an animal's endogenous and exogenous …

Tradeoffs among demographic traits are a central component of life history theory. We
investigated tradeoffs between reproductive effort and survival in female greater sage …

Environmental change often causes decreased food availability and/or increased foraging
costs, putting wild animals at risk of starvation. Body-fat reserves can enable individuals to …

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 …

Identifying maternal effects on offspring is critical to interpreting population dynamics, but the
duration of maternal effects and which life-history traits they influence is not well understood …
