Density‐dependence is a key concept in population dynamics. Here, we review how body
mass and demographic parameters vary with population density in large herbivores. The …

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 …

Background Models of honest advertisement predict that sexually selected calls should
signal male quality. In most vertebrates, high quality males have larger body sizes that …

In ungulates, males and females have contrasting life histories, as usually only the females
raise the young. How reproductive effort in males varies with individual level and population …

The assumption that the primary limitations on reproductive success differ between the
sexes is inherent in traditional sexual selection theory. Although the energy that can be …

The evolutionary theories of senescence predict that investment in reproduction in early life
should come at the cost of reduced somatic maintenance, and thus earlier or more rapid …

Mammals are able to distinguish conspecifics based on vocal cues, and the acoustic
structure of mammal vocalizations is directly affected by the anatomy and action of the vocal …

Contents In this article, we aimed to describe the changes related to mating season in red
deer, especially those related to antler growth, body condition score, testosterone and …

Background Male sexually selected vocalisations generally contain both individuality and
quality cues that are crucial in intra-as well as inter-sexual communication. As individuality is …

Summary 1 Trade‐offs in resource allocation underline the evolution of life‐history traits but
their expression is frequently challenged by empirical findings. In large herbivores, males …
