Abstract Individuals that isolate themselves to give birth can use more than one strategy in choosing birth sites to maximize reproductive success. Previous research has focused on the consistency in the use of the same birth‐site across years (i.e

We investigated the effects of changing sapling availability on foraging se- lectivity and cutting rates by beavers in large experimental enclosures. As predicted by an energy-maximizing contingency model, the mean size of saplings cut by beavers inc

Field studies suggest that beavers are increasingly selective the farther they forage from the lodge. This could result either from spatial variation in food availability (as predicted by classic contingency foraging models) or from the provisioning

Although it is commonly presumed that many populations of large-herbivores are limited by food availability, supporting evidence is scarce. This hypothesis was investigated in a population of over 800,000 white-eared kob in the Boma National Park reg

Most conventional methods for estimating age—specific survivorship depend on restrictive assumptions of a stable age distribution and constant rates of population increase. I propose an alternative approach that is free of these assumptions, based

Summary The reproductive phenology of migratory white-eared kob in Boma National Park, southern Sudan, was investigated during 198 1-83. Calf production occurred during the late wet season (September-December), well after the period of peak food abun

Summary Previous studies suggest that ungulate migrations in savanna ecosystems follow seasonal changes in the distribution of food, water or both. These hypotheses were examined for a migratory population of over 800,000 white-eared kob in Boma Nati
