Mammals are imperiled worldwide, primarily from habitat loss or modification, and exhibit
downward trends in their populations and distributions. Likewise, large-bodied herbivores …

In some species where male mating success largely depends on intrasexual competition,
males can adopt migratory or resident strategies to seek breeding opportunities. The …

The impact of human activities on the global environment has increased to such an extent
that the current geological era has been coined the Anthropocene. Studies dedicated to …

In terrestrial and marine ecosystems, migrants from protected areas may buffer the risk of
harvest‐induced evolutionary changes in exploited populations that face strong selective …

Hunting directly impacts the population dynamics of ungulates and can have a significant
effect on the quality of phenotypic traits such as horns or antlers. In Poland, following a …

Abstract In North America, most ungulate species exhibit life‐history traits typical of long‐
lived, iteroparous species wherein young males tend to prioritize essential life functions …

Size‐selective harvesting of wild ungulates can trigger a range of ecological and
evolutionary consequences. It remains unclear how environmental conditions, including …

A recent article in Evolutionary Applications by LaSharr et al. reports on trends in the size of
horns of bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) throughout much of the species' range. The article …

Trophy hunting can affect weapon size of wild animals through both demographic and
evolutionary changes. In bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis Shaw, 1804), intense harvest of …

Across most of their native North American range, the horns of mountain sheep (Ovis spp.)
males are getting smaller, a pattern attributed to selective hunting pressure. We measured …
