Isolation of small populations is expected to reduce fitness through inbreeding and loss of genetic variation, impeding population growth and compromising population persistence. Species with long generation time are the least likely to be rescued by

Human harvests can unwittingly drive evolution on morphology and life history, and these selective effects may be detrimental to the management of natural resources. Although theory suggests that harvest refuges, as sources of unselected animals, cou

Long-term data (1974-2011) from harvested bighorn rams (Ovis canadensis) in Alberta, Canada, suggested a reduction in horn size and in the proportion of trophy rams in the provincial population over time. Age at harvest increased over time, suggestin

In strongly seasonal environments, the timing of birth can have important fitness consequences. We investigated which factors affect parturition date and how birthdate interacts with sex, maternal characteristics and environmental variables to affect

The Trivers and Willard model (TWM) predicts that for sexually dimorphic polygynous mammals, mothers able to provide a high level of care should bias offspring sex ratio in favor of sons. Contradictory results of empirical studies, however, suggest t

Males may allocate a greater proportion of metabolic resources to maintenance than to the development of secondary sexual characters when food is scarce, to avoid compromising their probability of survival. We assessed the effects of resource availab

Phenotype-based selective harvests, including trophy hunting, can have important implications for sustainable wildlife management if they target heritable traits. Here we show that in an evolutionary response to sport hunting of bighorn trophy rams (

We investigated the effects of vegetation biomass, crude protein content of consumed forage, age, sex and reproductive status on bite rates in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. We expected higher bite rates and vigilance in lactating females with young a

Sexual dimorphism is an important characteristic of many mammals, but little is known about how environmental variables may affect its phenotypic expression. The relationships between population size, body mass, seasonal mass changes, and sexual mass
