▪ Abstract In large-herbivore populations, environmental variation and density dependence
co-occur and have similar effects on various fitness components. Our review aims to quantify …

Density‐dependence is a key concept in population dynamics. Here, we review how body
mass and demographic parameters vary with population density in large herbivores. The …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

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 …

The impact of the ongoing rapid climate change on natural systems is a major issue for
human societies. An important challenge for ecologists is to identify the climatic factors that …

The cumulative effects of climate warming on herbivore vital rates and population dynamics
are hard to predict, given that the expected effects differ between seasons. In the Arctic …

Unlike most other large mammals, the Soay sheep population of Hirta in the St. Kilda
archipelago show persistent oscillations, sometimes increasing or declining by more than …

Summary 1 Density‐dependent and climatic conditions experienced by individuals before
and after birth differ considerably between cohorts. Such early environmental variability has …

Demographic data show many populations of Rocky Mountain (Cervus elaphus nelsoni)
and Roosevelt (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) elk have been declining over the last few …

Mountain goats have been among the least studied of North American ungulates, leaving
wildlife managers with little information on which to base harvest strategies or conservation …
