At northern latitudes, large spatial and temporal variation in the nutritional composition of
available foods poses challenges to wild herbivores trying to satisfy their nutrient …

Foraging is one of the most fundamental activities contributing to the maximization of an
animal's fitness, and thus herbivores must optimize their diet selection and intake to meet …

The bioavailability of essential and non-essential elements in vegetation is expected to
influence the performance of free-ranging terrestrial herbivores. However, attempts to relate …

Forested lands in the western USA have undergone changes in management and condition
that are resulting in a shift towards climax vegetation. These changes can influence the …

Studies of habitat selection and use by wildlife, especially large herbivores, are foundational
for understanding their ecology and management, especially if predictors of use represent …

The realized effect of multiple carnivores on juvenile ungulate recruitment may depend on
the carnivore assemblage as well as compensation from forage and winter weather severity …

Ungulates typically migrate to maximize nutritional intake when forage varies seasonally. In
western North America, however, increasing numbers of ungulates reside on low‐elevation …
