The demographic and environmental influences on large mammal morphology are central questions in ecology. We investigated the effects of population abundance and climate on body size and number of male antler points for the La Poile and Middle Ridge

The rates and causes of juvenile mortality are central features of the dynamics and conservation of large mammals, like woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)), but intrinsic and extrinsic factors may be modified by variations in

The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) monitors large-scale responses of biodiversity to environmental change in Alberta, Canada, based on standardized and ongoing data collection. In this case study, we show that such a standardized mo

We examined the influence of leaf size on forage selection by collared pikas (Ochotona collaris) living in alpine meadows in the Yukon Territory, Canada, by comparing the winter diets of individually recognized pikas to the available vegetation withi

The specific nutritional characteristics by which herbivores evaluate their foraging options are complex. We experimentally manipulated the crude protein and water content of two forage species ( Carex consimilis Holm. (= Carex bigelowii Torr. ex Sch

We adapted Owen-Smith's general growth-metabolism-mortality (GMM) model to estimate the abundance of a population of Dall sheep ( Ovis dalli dalli ) in the southwest Yukon, Canada. Estimated sheep densities using the GMM approach (18–32 sheep/km 2

1. Demographic analysis is essential in order to determine which factors, such as survival, fertility and other life-history characteristics, have the greatest influence on a population's rate of growth (lambda). 2. We used life-table response experi

The effects of predation risk on foraging behavior often result in a trade-off between obtaining food and seeking shelter and may alter the selectivity of herbivores for individual plant species. We experimentally measured forage selection by a small

Vegetative, topological, and spatial features that were associated with habitat use of radio-collared white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus, n=17 in 1996–1997 and n=13 in 1997–1998) were identified as snow depth changed in the Odell Deeryard,
