A common challenge in species conservation and management is how to incorporate species movements into management objectives. There often is a lack of knowledge of …
Abstract The Green Wave Hypothesis posits that herbivore migration manifests in response to waves of spring green‐up (ie green‐wave surfing). Nonetheless, empirical support for the …

To understand modern principles of sustainable management and the conservation of wildlife species requires intimate knowledge about demography, animal behavior, and …
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 …
From fine‐scale foraging to broad‐scale migration, animal movement is shaped by the distribution of resources. There is mounting evidence, however, that learning and memory …

Each spring, migratory herbivores around the world track or 'surf'green waves of newly emergent vegetation to distant summer or wet‐season ranges. This foraging tactic may help …
Partial migration, a phenomenon wherein only some individuals within a population migrate, is taxonomically widespread. While well-studied in birds and fish, partial migration in large …
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 …
The migratory movements of wild animals can promote abundance and support ecosystem functioning. For large herbivores, mounting evidence suggests that migratory behaviour is …
