The spatial scale of animal space use, eg measured as individual home range size, is a key
trait with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes as well as …

Mountain ungulates of the subfamily Caprinae, including wild sheep, goats and goat‐
antelopes, show remarkable interspecific diversity in habitat preferences, social organisation …

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 …

Sex-specific differences in habitat selection and space use are common in ungulates. Yet, it
is largely unknown how this behavioral dimorphism, ultimately leading to sexual …

As climate change intensifies and demand for timber rises, forest disturbances are
increasing. Disturbances in forests cause an abrupt loss in canopy cover and increase …

The chamois Rupicapra spp. is the most abundant mountain ungulate of Europe and the
Near East, where it occurs as two species, the northern chamois R. rupicapra and the …

Alternative mating tactics (AMTs) may show different trade-offs between current reproduction
and survival; however, the proximate mechanisms underlying this pattern remain unclear …

This comprehensive species-specific chapter covers all aspects of the mammalian biology,
including paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology …

Understanding the main factors driving the evolution of mating systems is a major goal of
behavioral ecology. In ungulates, the transition from forests to open habitats and the …

Snow is one of the most limiting environmental factors for large wildlife of temperate and
arctic zones during winter. Snow depth may limit space use, increase energy expenditure …
