TL;DR: Results from the simulation model and uncertainty analysis indicate that percent body fat rather than body mass in early winter is most important in determining whether animals die, live without reproducing, or live and reproduce.

TL;DR: This paper used a non-linear curve-fitting model to identify discontinuities in the scales of movement by woodland caribou collared with global positioning system (GPS) collars and found that inter-patch movements had a lower cost of movement, were associated with cover types where foraging behaviours probably occurred, and were closer to areas of higher predator risk than interpatch movements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of woodland caribou to land-cover type, predation risk, energetic costs of movement, and patch configuration at multiple spatial scales was assessed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship among calf survival, predation risk, and vegetation characteristics among three calving areas and across spatial scales in the Besa-Prophet River drainage of northern British Columbia.

TL;DR: Compounded by increased demands associated with lactation during summer and with snow rather than temperature during winter, the availability of digestible energy is potentially the greatest nutritional limiting factor for black-tailed deer in Alaska.
