The sampling characteristics of electivity indices
TL;DR: The host preferences of gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, feeding on tree foliage in an undisturbed deciduous forest in southwestern Quebec, Canada were used to compare the available electivity indices.

Foraging and movement paths of female reindeer: insights from fractal analysis, correlated random walks, and Lévy flights
TL;DR: It was found that reindeer selected feeding sites with higher green biomass of Betula spp.

Trading forage quality for quantity? Plant phenology and patch choice by Svalbard reindeer
TL;DR: Manipulation of snowmelt led to a shift in ”phenological time”, without altering these plant quality parameters as such, which is likely to lead to a more favourable nitrogen and energy return than selection for high plant quality.

The Social Organisation of Antelope in Relation To Their Ecology
TL;DR: The paper describes different feeding styles among antelope, in terms of selection of food items and coverage of home ranges, and argues that these feeding styles bear a relationship to maximum group size of feeding animals through the influence of dispersion ofFood items upon group cohesion.

Biomass and production of large African herbivores in relation to rainfall and primary production
TL;DR: Standing crop biomass, energy expenditure and production by large mammalian herbivores in the African savannas show a high degree of correlation with mean annual precipitation and predicted above ground primary production, which possess the potential for predicting carrying capacity and protein production from simple meteorological data.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Relationship of Social Evolution and Ecology in Ungulates
TL;DR: Although links do exist between ecology and behavior, they nevertheless represent distinct realms of natural selection in which social behavior appears as the more conservative element, and the theoretical basis for this is discussed.
