Random fluctuations in population dynamics are fundamentally important in pure and
applied ecology. This book introduces demographic and environmental stochasticity, and …

In an age‐or stage‐structured population, a given change on a proportional scale of different
fitness components has different effects on the population growth rate. Because earlier …

Habitat alteration by humans may change the supply of food and cover for wild ungulates,
but few studies have examined how these resources are utilised over time by individuals of …

Among-individual variation of life history traits in a given population of deer has most often
been accounted for by differences among sex and age classes and by current …

Predation has been recognized as a major selective force in the evolution of behavioural
characteristics of mammals. As a consequence of local predator extinction, prey may lose …

Wildlife managers are often asking for reliable information of population density across
larger spatial scales. In this study, we examined the spatiotemporal relationships between …

Abundance indices suggested that the moose Alces alces population in northern New
Hampshire was stable despite favourable habitat and conservative harvest. Causes and …

Moose (Alces alces) populations in northern New Hampshire and western Maine
experienced 3 successive years of high winter tick infestations (epizootics) in 2014–2016 …

The annual age‐and sex‐specific patterns of harvest mortality in a Norwegian moose Alces
alces population during a period of 17 years for females and 24 years for males were …

To understand the factors influencing life history traits and population dynamics, attention is
increasingly being given to the importance of environmental stochasticity. In this paper, we …
