An animal's behaviour can influence many variables, such as its energy reserves, its risk of
injury or mortality, and its rate of reproduction. To identify the optimal action in a given …

Acoustic communication is an important aspect of reproductive, foraging and social
behaviours for many marine species. Northeast Pacific blue whales (Balaenoptera …

Climate change is occurring at an accelerated rate in high-elevation alpine and mountain
ecosystems. Cold-adapted, mountain species are at risk due to forecasted change and …

Costs associated with antipredator behaviors can have profound effects on prey
populations. We investigated the effects of predation risk on white-tailed deer foraging …

Animal movements among habitat patches or populations are important for maintaining long-
term genetic and demographic viability, but connectivity may also facilitate disease spread …

This chapter discusses the importance of nutrition and adaptation to the seasonally
changing availability and quality of reindeer and caribou diets, and the subsequent …

Body condition has a strong influence on reproduction and survival. Consequently,
understanding spatiotemporal variation in body condition may help identify processes that …

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 …

We develop a model for the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in a mule deer
(Odocoileus hemionus) population to assess possible mechanisms of disease transmission …
