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 …

In the presence of a predator, prey may alter their temporal activity patterns to reduce the risk
of an encounter that may induce injury or death. Prey perception of predation risk and …

Ornamentation of parents poses a high risk for offspring because it reduces cryptic nest
defence. Over a century ago, Wallace proposed that sexual dichromatism enhances crypsis …

Predation risk can induce individual prey to express behavioral, physiological, and
morphological traits that can influence population‐level processes. Maternal care is an …

Studies on juvenile survival have mainly focused on the effects of environmental conditions
and maternal traits. However, growing evidence indicates that the ability of parents to care …

Growth of ungulate populations is typically most sensitive to survival of neonates, which in
turn is influenced by maternal nutritional condition and trade-offs in resource selection and …

The condition of maternal female mammals greatly influences life-history characteristics of
their young, but interactions between habitat and maternal condition and their combined …

Species' population dynamics are tied to neonatal survival. White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus
virginianus) fawn survival varies according to spatially explicit patterns of natural (eg …

Estimating spatial and temporal resource use and partitioning among carnivore species
varies based on life history and is critical to understanding ecological relationships of …

Ecologists increasingly recognize the importance of trait-mediated indirect interactions and
suggest behavioral traits aimed to reduce predation risk can induce trophic cascades …
