We develop and test a hypothesis here that the seasonality of temperature and precipitation
played a major role in determining the population densities of artiodactyls (eg, Ovis …

In the period following wolf (Canis lupus) reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park (1995–
2004), the northern Yellowstone elk (Cervus elaphus) herd declined from∼ 17 000 to∼ …

Climate change poses significant challenges to protected area management globally.
Anticipatory climate adaptation planning relies on vulnerability assessments that identify …

1. Recent research reveals the widespread influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO),
a large-scale climatic variation, on northern ungulate populations. Little is known, however …

Studies of habitat selection and use by wildlife, especially large herbivores, are foundational
for understanding their ecology and management, especially if predictors of use represent …

Seasonal fluctuations in water availability cause predictable changes in the profitability of
habitats in tropical ecosystems, and animals evolve adaptive behavioural and spatial …

Variation in the abundance of animals has traditionally been explained as the outcome of
endogenous forcing from density dependence and exogenous forcing arising from variation …

Altered species interactions are difficult to predict and yet may drive the response of
ecological communities to climate change. We show that declining snowpack strengthens …

Climate often drives ungulate population dynamics, and as climates change, some areas
may become unsuitable for species persistence. Unraveling the relationships between …

Previous research has documented declines in the abundance of high-return resources
including tule elk (Cervus canadensis nannodes) over the past three millennia in central …
