Ungulate reproductive success (calf production and survival) influences population
performance. The moose (Alces alces) population in northeastern Minnesota, USA, has …

Given recent and abrupt declines in the abundance of moose (Alces alces) throughout parts
of Minnesota and elsewhere in North America, accurately estimating statewide population …

Predators directly impact prey populations through lethal encounters, but understanding
nonlethal, indirect effects is also critical because foraging animals often face trade‐offs …
