Implications of forage quality for population recovery of bighorn sheep following a pneumonia epizootic
Animals are inherently tied to nutritional resources of the landscape. Added cost of coping
with environmental stressors, like disease, can exacerbate nutritional limitations …

Inefficiency of evolutionarily relevant selection in ungulate trophy hunting
JR Heffelfinger - The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Differentially harvesting individual animals with specific traits has led some to argue that
such selection can cause evolutionary change that may be detrimental to the species …
