The George Reserve deer herd : population ecology of a K-selected species
TLDR
A reassessment of the studies done on this deer herd over the years and their implications for state wildlife management agencies is presented in this article, where the authors focus on the impact of these studies on the deer population.Abstract:

Temporal Variation in Fitness Components and Population Dynamics of Large Herbivores
TL;DR: In large-herbivore populations, environmental variation and density dependence co-occur and have similar effects on various fitness components and how that variability affects changes in population growth rates is examined.

Sex Ratio Variation in Mammals
Tim H. Clutton-Brock,G R Iason +1 more
TL;DR: Valid evidence that sex ratio trends are adaptive must be based on the overall distribution of trends or on cases in which the sex ratio can be shown to vary with the relative fitness of producing sons and daughters.

Predictive accuracy of population viability analysis in conservation biology
TL;DR: It is found that PVA predictions were surprisingly accurate, the risk of population decline closely matched observed outcomes, there was no significant bias, and population size projections did not differ significantly from reality.

The allometry of food intake in grazing ruminants
Andrew W. Illius,Iain J. Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: A simulation model of grazing mechanics in ruminants shows that, due to the allometric relations of bite size and metabolic requirements to body size, small animals are able to subsist on shorter swards than large animals.
